Sony VAIO EC Series VPCEC2RFX
$1,150.00
Released June, 2010
The Pros:Large 17" display with higher than average larger-than-720p resolution (1900 x 900). Lots of RAM and disk capacity - 4GB DDR3 and 500GB HDD. Impressive Sony build quality.
The Cons:Large and heavy - good as a transportable desktop replacement only. Flat sounding speakers compared to other media center laptops. Aesthetic can be seen as a little boring / generic to some.
