Obvious answer - they want you to pay more to get more.

There are certainly ways they could sleek it up a bit but not very much without adding to the cost.

@jopey:
To be honest, most of us in the office rather liked the design. It's not sleek, but doesn't feel particularly chunky, and is FAR more rugged than most - how good is that glossy designer laptop going to look after three months' use with scratches and fingerprints all over it?

Ive got the VGN-NS11J/S of this series, i got it for £600 with a 2 year warrenty from john lewis and I love it. Granted however since i bought it more powerful laptops have come out for the price but hay thats just technology going out of date fast as usual.

I never really liked Sony's budget models, my advice is to get the cheapest version of their premium line you can get.
Back in December I got my dad an FW11E for £580. The best thing is I picked it up in Argos, LOL.

The NS sounds great! But looks like it just got replaced by the NW. The NW looks and sounds fantastic! And has great value too!

Do Sony still fill their machines with buggy bloatware and inappropriate software? The last Sony portable I owned (some years back) even had SQL Server running on it, grabbing 5% CPU now and again. Why? Who knows, but took days to dig it all out and remove it.

Why is it you have to buy a more premium laptop so you aren't lumbered with a blobby, big boned, fisher price device?? They must deliberately make these low end models less attractive than the other ones. I'm sure they could sleek up these products.
