It's an ExpressCard slot. From the picture I saw it looks to be the slimmer ExpressCard/34 slot. There is also a wider /54. It's basically an expansion slot that can be used for the following: - 1394/FireWire (iLINK) - Docking Stations - Instrumentation - Memory - Memory Card Adapters (CF, MS, SD, xD, etc.) - Mouse - Networking - PCI Expansion - PCI Express Expansion - Remote Controls - SATA - Serial Port - SmartCard Adapters - TV Tuners - USB - Wireless LAN (WiFi) - Wireless WAN/Wireless Broadband Internet (3G, CDMA, EVDO, GRPS, UMTS, etc.)

If they have the same RAM, Processor, and plenty of hard disk memory then you must look at the graphics card provided and or the operating system. Also in my opinion Sony produces a higher quality piece of equipment in comparison to Toshiba.

Sony

The Satellite has a IntelĂ‚® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD The Vaio has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 Get the SONY much better Graphics Look at #72 and #134 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-CS110E

How come Sony Vaio laptop shuts down within a few minutes?
My Sony Vaio laptop model VGN-CS110E wont stay on. I would turn it on and within a few minutes it would shut down by itself. Then I would turn it on again and it would shut down again. I don't know why it does this. There's power in it because I charge it and a light on the laptop indicates that it is plugged in. So does anyone know what is wrong with it and how I can fix it? Thanks :)

Heat. Check to see if the fan runs when you turn it on. If not, it needs to be replaced or each time you try to turn the laptop on you risk permanent damage from the processor overheating because the fan isn't working to cool it. If you aren't sure, have it checked and serviced.

could it be a virus

The situation sounds familiar, but you need to provide us with more information If the monitor IS displaying something, you probably need to pop open the computer and clean out the fan-the computer detects a constantly rising temperature and shuts off to prevent damage. If it is NOT displaying anything, possibly there's something wrong with your power source, try taking out your battery and booting it up.

How to disable the pinch-to-zoom feature on the touchpad of a Sony Vaio?
I just got a new Sony Vaio laptop and the pinch-to-zoom feature that randomly makes text larger and smaller is driving me crazy! Is there any way to disable this "feature" before I have to check myself into a padded room? Thanks for any help.
