Reviewed on 2008-05-13 Works great after learning Vista The laptop is shipped with MS Windows Vista which I had not seen before. It took awhile to figure it out (like how to configure an administrator ID...it ships without one). The only real "problem" I had was that it wouldn't play blu-ray DVDs until I downloaded the latest driver...that was a bit annoying. I humbly think I'm pretty computer savy so I have sympathies for folks who can't figure out Vista and drivers. Anyway, now I am very happy with the laptop. It is really fast and the WI-FI receiver seems to be very sensitive. As I had read in other Vaio reviews, the battery (as shipped) life is not on par with other laptops available. This is not a big issue for me, but if it is for you then I would recommend ordering the heavy duty battery. Also as I read in other reviews, there is a lot of advertising and trial software installed. Since I haven't purchased a computer in a while, maybe this is now the norm.

Reviewed on 2008-05-09 more than expectations everything regarding VAIO went right. I like this brand and this laptop. however only missing thing is: there's no bluetooth connection available. Thanks Amazon.com for delivery on time, thanks VAIO for this laptop to this price...

Reviewed on 2008-04-26 Sony Laptop We are loving our Sony VAIO. We bought our college freshman a Dell laptop when she started college in the fall. We paid over three times what we paid for our Sony VAIO. I wouldn't trade her. The Sony does everything we need and more. It has a bright clear screen, a really nice keyboard and is very user friendly. We've only had the Sony for a couple of months, but it would definitely get our recommendation.

Reviewed on 2008-04-20 Pretty good but some small irritations Overall works smoothly and is quite thin and relatively light esp compared to my old Dell Inspiron. Battery life is pretty good. There are lots of annoying add-ons though, e.g. not sure how to get rid of this Norton Anti-Virus window that always wants me to buy the product. Does not come with MS Office - just a 30 day trial then you have to buy it. Also the wireless is a bit finicky. And I don't really like the touchpad buttons - they are noisy and too much effort to push down - plus for some reason the touchpad is odd in that I often go 'back' when I'm browsing the internet, even though I haven't indicated that in any way, but something I'm doing with the touchpad seems to make it thing I want to go back or sometimes forward. Oh, also I realised that apparently Sony Vaio or SigmaTel, one of the two, has disabled my ability to record my own output using the 'stereo mix' functionality of the sound card - which is pretty annoying since computers are supposed to move forward and not back.
