Description: The Sony VAIO CR220E/L is a 5.5-pound, general-purpose notebook computer. Compared to other mainstream consumer notebooks on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $1,225. Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.
Pros: Has a 200GB hard drive, which is considerably larger than some similarly priced notebooks. In fact, the typical cost of a product with this large a hard drive is $1,770. Also, this notebook has 2 GB RAM, which is somewhat more than some similarly priced notebooks. By way of comparison, the typical cost of a product with this ample a RAM is $1,795.
Cons: Has an integrated housing media bay, which is less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.

The Sony VAIO CR220E/L comes with simple word processing software – if you often create complex documents you will likely need to upgrade to a more powerful office suite . Integrated graphics controllers that rely on shared video memory are sometimes an acceptable trade-off for budget-minded users.

You can use the bundled video software to compile and edit movies uploaded from a digital video camcorder. If you have a wireless network at home, wirelessly browse the Internet from any room in your house with this Wi-Fi enabled notebook.
Value: In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this notebook has good features for the money. For example, when it comes to screen size, the average price of general-purpose products with a similar screen size is considerably more -- right around $1,429
