Glad I bought it

 

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase!!!

Very quiet, runs cool. I really like the keyboard. Fantastic resolution on screen and movies look wonderful

Perhaps a hardrive with faster rpm would have made this even more of a thrill to use

Consumer review (newegg.com)

A $1200 laptop for $900

 

Smooth and quiet, HDMI is a treat (I didn't realize HDMI carried sound too, yay). Pretty.

Nice keyboard, quiet, beautiful display. Seems to run smooth when you root out all the bloatware and wrestle Vista into submission. Bought it hoping for easy transition to 7

8GB RAM recommended for Vista 64 bit. You can upgrade the RAM but SODIMM is mad expensive. Should've shipped with 32 bit Vista. I'm sure I'll max this thing out real soon

Love it!

 

With its mobility and great picture quality, now we are watching our favorite movies on this machine.

Good overall performance. Actually, fantastic performance for everyday use

Comes with some Sony media management software, that took time to disable. It didn't seem to degrade performance when I needed it, but I definitely didn't need such functionality

Great!!

 

This Vaio is so cool! It worths every penny.

Amazing visual expereince! Quiet, cool. Sleek design of its looking. Everything feels right

If the usb jacks are located at the left side would be better, so that the wire of your mouse won't be always in your way

So far so good

 

Havnt had the chance to test out the blueray player and hdmi out on this thing and hope it dosnt give me any problems. Windows 7 its awesome btw and even though its in beta its reliable and SO SO much faster than vista.

Nothing DOA. The day I got this I installed windows 7 beta build 7057 and it found almost all of the drives at install witch is amazing for a sony product. Its VARY quick, much faster than what I expected

Memory is already maxed out, no hope of upgrading

Solid Quality

 

I can't be too angry at anyone else I guess. Fool me once, shame on you . Fool me twice, shame on me.

This box has the look of a MacBook Pro with a much greater feature set. It runs fast, silent and cool. This is a great value for the price point. You will not be disappointed. The exterior is a midnight gray flat finish. The keyboard is comfortable and...

The touch pad has an unusual tactility, but in no time feels fine. New laptops are often shipping without any disks in the box and that is the case here. You will find the restore disk creation software in Start -> ; Programs

Solidly Built

 

This machine is solidly built. It is quite and fast. This is the first laptop I have been able to use from my lap, as it does not run hot. The machine has the look of a macbook pro with a much more robust feature set. The preinstalled software has...
