What is it:
Cost-effective 15-inch Centrino 2 laptop

Typical price:
£634.90 - £680.22

We like:
Solidly built; good keyboard; integrated webcam; fingerprint scanner

We don't like:
Low-resolution screen; not enough USB connectors; too much pre-installed software

The judgement:
The Vaio VGN-BZ11MN is a cost-effective 15-inch Centrino 2 laptop. It's solidly built, if somewhat uninspiring, and you may want to opt for its £100 more expensive stable-mate to get a higher-resolution screen
