    In general(from reading about them and owning one), I'd say sony laptops are less reliable than other brands. Design, styling and features are usually great though. Don't have any experience with this particular laptop(other than knowing it was a high end ultraportable when released), but wouldn't have any trouble going for it if it was available at a good price with nothing wrong with it and it was what i needed etc. I'd probably treat it extremely gently though, something like a dell or ibm would probably be more robust and easier to get fixed if something does go wrong

    sounds a bit steep, even though it was high end and probably is a great laptop, but its hard to judge, i guess it expensive because of the size. Seems it came out in late 2004.

    have been looking at ibm x31 and dell d400 laptops recently and they seem to sell for under 350euro(thats ebay though), would be faster processor and maybe not much heavier laptop. IBM x41 i think is very light model, might be worth looking at. But the sony probably still has the weight/size advantage over those models

    edit: for secondhand laptop, chances are you high you'll need to get a new battery for it
