Useful Sony VAIO Lifestyle VGN-P688E/Q 8-Inch Laptop - Black Good Product, with couple tricksBy Glider SongI bought this with about $550 couple month ago and have been using it in my business trips.It is very light weighted and full function PC laptop and it a wonderful device to remote log into the corporate desktop and get some work done. The preloaded Windows Vista home was a pain and I was able downgrade it to Windows XP, which makes the machine much faster. You can find the entire XP driver set in Sony’s online library (the power management part is kind of difficult to figure out……, and I can’t find the GPS driver)The PowerDVD 10 has fully resolved the issue of video playback issue, as it can leverage on the hardware acceleration on the Intel video chip. It can play 720P movie without any difficulty. Hope this helps. 8 of 11 people found the following review helpful. »» More Information about Sony VAIO Lifestyle VGN-P688E/Q 8-Inch Laptop - Black

1 Sony TRV250

1 Sony DCRTRV250 Digital8 Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, USB Streaming and Remote Great Bang for your BucksBy M. HaThis camera is great. It does the job and fits into my budget. I was debating between this and the Canon ZR65 but found that this Sony has better quality. I checked at Best Buy to see the image quality and it helped a lot. The only benefit I saw in getting the canon was to take still pictures and it has a slot for memory card. But the still pictures are poor quality and meant for a digi-cam which I recently purchased too. =) This Sony trv250 camcorder gave me everything I wanted: best picture quality for lowest price, digital and capability to transfer to pc. When you watch the videos, the picture looks perfect. But once you record it onto vhs, you lose picture quality but that’s due to the VHS technology. One of the main reasons I got this is to transfer the videos to my pc. The software it came with sucks. It saves it as .mpg which is great, but I couldn’t even save a 20 mins video. It crashed several times. So I ended up using windows movie maker and it made my video fine but as an .avi format. I need to find a program that converts the .avi to .mpg so I can burn into vcd. One big flaw though is when you transfer the video using usb (it’s 1.0, not 2.0), it becomes choppy, unbelievably choppy. I was scared I couldn’t transfer videos anymore as it can get very annoying watching my home videos choppy. So I went out and got a firewire card and tried again and it worked smoothly. I was getting nervous about my purchase but it worked out. The night version is awesome. In a pitch dark room, I can see everything, in green. Its infrared vision makes me feel like a G.I. Joe. I took this camcorder out to the dessert and videotaped my trip and it came out well. My friends thought the quality was pretty good too. The accessories that I bought were a stand, NPFM70 battery that lasts 4+ hrs, camera protective lens for the dusty times (avoid scratches on the actual lens), digital8 tapes (it should’ve at least came with one, cheap-a*s Sony), and a camcorder backpack to keep everything. All in all, for the price of the camera, I think it was a great purchase.44 of 49 people found the following review helpful. »» Continue Reading about Sony DCRTRV250 Digital8 Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, USB Streaming and Remote
