There are notebooks that actually adhere roughly to the dimensions of the original paper-based form but the Sony VAIO VGN-AR18GP is not one of those. It is in industry parlance, a desktop replacement. Or simply put, a desktop masquerading the form factor of a notebook. Weighing 3.8kg, this stylish VAIO is not made for the ladies or road warriors, though it's quite reasonable for its category. The considerable dimensions ensure an awkward grip, amplified by the acute awareness of our grubby fingers staining the piano black glossy finish and chrome trim over the magnesium alloy exterior.
