Sony Vaio VGN-BZ11MN

Reviews The Vaio VGN-BZ11MN is a cost-effective 15.4in. Centrino 2 notebook. It's solidly built if somewhat uninspiring, and you may want to opt for its £100 more expensive stablemate to get a higher-resolution screen.

Reviews This 12.1in. ultraportable updates the CF-T7, but some key features are still missing, notably a wide aspect ratio screen, an optical drive and a webcam. If you need ruggedness and a touch-screen, then it's a reasonable choice. Otherwise, it's a little short on features.
