Title: Beautiful, but extremely slow computer
Review: My wife wanted an ultracompact for business travel. We had heard great things about the VAIO line. However, this computer is unbearably slow. Simple tasks, ie working in Outlook, take far too long to process. Boot time averages 5 minutes. I'm not sure if the problem lies with the processor or is related to RAM (comes with 1 GB), but Vista does not function well with these specs. The computer sounds like it's constantly in overdrive. I imagine this computer would perform much better with XP. It is a beautiful ultracompact but the poor performance is unacceptable for a $2000+ computer.
