"Priced at $2,449, our system (with 2GB of RAM, minus MS Office) was relatively expensive compared to competitive offerings from a more price conscious company like Dell or HP. Outside of software and memory, this notebook doesn't come with many configuration options; other than an optional extended warranty. It does have a few features that stand out, however, like biometric security, G-Sensor Shock Protection (similar to IBM's Active Protection System), and a hybrid graphics system.

The VGN-SZ150P/C isn't priced absurdly high, but it clearly isn't what we could call a budget or value notebook. It cost more than some competing models we have seen; just about all which don't compare to Sony's multimedia experience. With an excellent display and a matching audio experience, you can at least understand the SZ150P/C's price premium even if it isn't on your personal wish list. Sheer quality aside, Sony is not just a PC manufacturer; it is a brand name. And this brand name comes at a premium if you want all the goodies."
