When you talk about laptops, the Sony Vaio is certain to be among the tops brands one would think of.

The Sony VAIO SR390 can be one of the least expensive of the company’s ultraportable laptops but it also lacks the performance that can be found for less from other companies or with more features for the same cost.

It comes with a LED backlit display that provides some excellent color without producing too much glare from the glossy coating. The keyboard design is also very comfortable and easy to use.

The big problem with the VAIO SR390 is its cost. While it is relatively affordable for a Sony laptop, there are offerings from other brands that offer a similar level of features that cost less or provide even more features and performance for the same price. This makes the Sony really only a strong choice for those looking for a system with a very strong display or just have to own a Sony laptop.
