Think Before you go big

by jhs2007 , Oct 15, 2008
Pros: 17 inch models offer a great display for dvds and games
Cons: -This laptop's weight and size make it more of a desktop
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I am sitting here writing on on a Sony 17 inch laptop an I must admit it is too big. The 17 inch screen may seem like a good idea at first but it will soon become a nuisance as it is not portable in the slightest and should only be used at a desk...
