TOKYO -- Computer-industry veterans chuckled when Sony Corp. unveiled the Vaio, its purple personal computer, in 1996. But with PC giants including IBM, Taiwan's Acer Inc. and now Packard Bell NEC are phasing their desktops out of stores, Sony is one of just four big PC brands left standing on U.S. retailers' shelves.

Microsoft plans to display a beta version of Windows XP that will run on tablet PCs, a new breed of computers that have touch screens and can read handwriting.
Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
The VGNBZ15GN is Sony's latest business laptop in the Vaio range, and includes the new Centrino 2 platform. A heavy machine with strong performance, but let down by poor battery life.
The Sony VAIO's good points -- performance and excellent build quality -- are marred by an uncharacteristically poor screen.
Our new favourite ultra-portable, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX27GP offers up a superb design, brilliant battery life and a great blend of multimedia features.
Sony's PCGGRV7P incorporates a dual-format DVD burner, which makes it an appealing choice if you need DVD burning capabilities in a notebook form factor. Check out our Australian review.
