Military -- DON'T BUY SONY!

 

Military -- DON'T BUY SONY!

I've loved my Sony Vaio, but trying to buy a new one has been awful. Sony won't allow military with an APO address to buy things, EVEN IF IT'S BEING SHIPPED WITHIN THE US! Military (and diplomats) overseas use the US Postal System with a US address...

A Real Winner

 

A Real Winner

Because space is limited in an apartment, I've always used a laptop at home in place of the desktop I have at the office. Since I am not especially technically savvy, I look for user-friendliness and good graphics. A friend has a Sony Vaio, so I was...

Don't buy this Vaio

Unless you do not want any support that approaches anything remotely reasonable. My family have purchased Sony products (without even considering other brands) for 3 generations. But the month I decided no more. The arrogance and incompetence of Sony...

Don't buy any Sony Vaio's.

Sony Vaio's are a defective product and should not be sold. Once you have a problem customer service/repairs/refunds are non existant and they repeatedly get you off the phone telling you that they will have someone call you back. Never yet a call...

I Love Sony Laptops but this one is going back

I've owned 6 Vaio laptops over the last 4 years and have been very happy with them on the whole. I loved my last laptop I had from Sony, a 17" model which I believe was the A170P and was pretty disappointed when I purchased this one to replace it after...
