Rating: - A lemon computer
Spent my savings on this computer for college. Computer locked up after attempting to install a purchased version of Microsoft Office Student to replace the trial version. After over an hour with Sony Vaio tech support, could not remove the trial version. As per their instructions I had to run a systme recovery and reformat the hard drive and then reload microsoft vista updates - took over 2 hours. Then tried to uninstall the trial version of Microsoft Office Student - again unsuccessfull. Sony Vaio tech support recommended that I repeat the system recovery and reformat the hard drive a second time. I refused,googled the problem and found the solution - go to the Microsoft Office site, download a trial version of Office and once downloaded select the uninstall option. This worked, installed the purchased version of Office Student, all worked well till my DVD drive 3 weeks later could not be recognized. After about 2 hours with Sony Vaio tech support they could not get it to work and now will send a technician to my home to attempt to fix the problem. Dell would replace the unit! Do not buy this computer!!!
Rating: - Good quality construction
The laptop looks great and the construction material is solid with good quality. Standard USB ports but with nice SD slot handy. Camera quality is sufficient for my use and keyboard is quiet with low stroke. The whole computer looks neat and clean. With upgraded router, we are able to use the maximum speed for wireless connection (N), which is great! However, it came with a lot of commercial software that we have to uninstall them one by one... but i guess that is a common frustration when buying consumer laptop. The audio quality is average... I only wish it would come with non-glossy LCD screen.
Rating: - Sony VAIO - highly recommended!
If you want a high quality product... look no more! This is the laptop that eveyone must have. Blazing-fast performance, excellent color definition and incredible technology.
Rating: - Horrendous LCD ruins this laptop
I knew I had made a mistake when I got this laptop and saw the glossy screen. The screen is so glossy it acts as a mirror where you often find yourself staring at yourself. The viewing angle is also the poorest I have seen on any LCD on any computer ever. When I attempt to watch a movie in bed with my girlfriend, only one of us can see the movie without the colors being inverted. We constantly fight over the placement of the screen and eventually both end up being un-happy. The viewing angle is so bad that by shifting your head, I am not exaggerating, one or two inches in any direction you can significantly change the contrast of the colors on the screen.
If it were not for the horrendous screen this laptop would have been a pretty good purchase. My next complaint would have been placing the USB plugs at the lower right hand side of the keyboard...the area you place your mouse (the USB cables end up clashing with your mouse and your hand).
