Consumer review (newegg.com)

Windows 7 Upgrade

 

For my money I will go with Apple in the future.

Newegg is outstanding as always

VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SONY. I have yet to receive my Windows 7 upgrade and oh by the way I purchased this product on the first day, 06/26/2009, it was available for a Windows 7 upgrade and registered with Sony immediately upon receiving

I hate hate Vista and Sony support

 

I performed clean install of Vista and downloaded all latest drivers, I was told this will fix it but it did not. Spent money to upgrade RAM and still useless. Should have bought a Mac. Loaded Ubuntu and it is very fast and stable and usable. I guess I...

Well made and lightweight

WinDOZE Vista is junk, it is so slow it is unusable. Sony support is horrible, I asked to downgrade to XP and they said no it can't be done. I found out it can be but Sony configured the system to be very difficult to do. They also told me that it can...

Great deal for the money

 

"Sony did the chiclet keys first, Apple copied."

I'm thinking this displaces the T-Series Thinkpad laptops as my favorite bank for the buck laptop. At least until I see how well Linux runs on one of these. Generally very good construction quality except for the DVD drive and LCD/lid. Not even close...

Bloatware but it is easily removable

Amazing value

 

I couldn't give this laptop a 5 because of many nit-picky build issues and minor flaws. But overall, this computer is a winner. It gets all the important things right. If you want decent performance in a slim, elegant package for a great price, this is...

It looks great and performs better. Very thin for a 15" with these specs. What's most surprising is that it handles heat like a champ. The laptop gets mildly warm at most, even when gaming. Fallout 3 plays great on Medium settings with the full...

There are a few issues I have with the build quality. The body itself is solid. There is no flex when picking the laptop up by a corner or edge. The DVD drive is a bit loose and wiggles when it is out. The plastic casing around the LCD looks good, but...

Sony VGN-NW130J

 

I started out looking at an Apple but found it difficult to justify the cost for what you get although it is without doubt unmatched as a quality leading consumer product. That along with the expense and trouble of buying and installing Vista. Apple...

Sony provides the best consumer product for the money. This is a well designed product, smooth edges, slender base, narrow at the front stepped in thickness from front to back, smooth underside, good chassis rigidity. Excellent screen display, first...

The DVD drive door sags, poor fit, there is a gap between the door and the chassis, I assume this is an early production problem as this is one of the first machines
