  • Sony VPL-FE40

    The VPL-FE40 is an ideal projector for showcasing presentations, video and images in medium- to large-sized meeting rooms and auditoriums. The only downside is the cost, both to purchase and run, which will limit the VPL-FE40 to large organisations with big budgets.

  • Sony VPL-CX155

    The well-built and stylish Sony VPL-CX155 is easy to use and features impressive networking capabilities. However, for a business projector with such a high price tag, poor image quality and a lack of Wi-Fi may leave users wanting more.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N

    The Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N is more fragile than we'd like, especially at AU$3,599 -- but the feature set is quite impressive for an ultraportable.

  • Sony VPL-EX4

    The Sony VPL-EX4 Data Projector is priced on par for what it delivers. Designed for class rooms and small organisations, it has some standout features, however the absence of an extra card reader slot and DVI port is notable.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-C13

    Attractive, powerful and reasonably priced, the Sony VAIO VGN-C13 is a smart choice if you're in the market for a thin-and-light laptop.
