Sony can not manufacture laptops without heating problems. I think they are behind the current technology. I would not recommend any latops from sony. This is my second computer and I regret for both. Unfortunatelly there is not much competitors in the...

DC jack is broken three times in a year !

 

I purchased VPCF112FX/B, which is a previous version of this computer, on Jan. 2010 and have used it for two years. DC jack has been broken three times in a year (Jan. 2011, Aug. 2011, Jan. 2012). I paid more than $600 to fix it up. Do you think it...

Don't buy a Sony. Don't buy a laptop anywhere other than New Egg. My first mistake was buying direct from vendor.

Nice Bright Screen, keyboard

Really poor setup for power connection. Broke after 6 months ; If you are looking at ANY model of Sony laptop that has power connection on the side of the machine in hinge area. DO NOT buy. We purchased extended warranty and SONY told us that this is a...

I've been playing a lot of Rage on it without any problems (but it won't blow the doors off of anything with its more basic video card.) No complaints, it's a real nice toy.

Fast for the price, beautiful screen, nice keyboard, quality construction

Heavy, but that's what to expect from a laptop this big. Some bloatware, but that's easily taken care of

What a dissapointment

 

Bottom line, I replaced a similarly priced 2 year old F-Series notebook and I'm finding this was a poor choice. Look elsewhere.

Rigid body, nice screen, so-so keyboard ; Not too much shovelware ; It has dedicated buttons for some simple AV Control, but it could definitely use more (volume/mute etc). They instead waste our time with their "Assist", a function users will...

I bought this as a replacement for a two year old F series vaio (same screen size) and I am thoroughly disappointed ; The first thing that hits you when you unpack the notebook is the size of the power supply. Call it a brick, because that is how...

First Vaio

 

Newegg delivered in stupid speed..ordered it and the next day at my door both packages..Great job..I am satisfied with the laptop and extra PS3 I now own

Very Very High resolution makes the screen great to look at..Fast processor and the video card plays SC2 and counter strike just fine which is the only gaming I will do on this laptop. Large HDD and really a steal for 949 with a PS3

There was a software problem off the bat..On my Vista I have Avast and Microsoft Security essentials working hand in hand and never had a lock up.. This is my first experience with windows 7.. I loaded Avast,everything fine..The second I loaded MSE the...

Wonderful Machine

 

Absolutely amazing screen makes me feel this is a steal at the promotion price. The processor is quite powerful and fast enough for everyday use. The graphics card can be easily unlocked for gaming purpose. The backlit keyboard is very comfortable when...

Great Laptop

 

This computer costs a bit more than others but it is well worth the cash.

Very fast, I bought this to replace my brand new Thinkpad T410 I bought myself for Christmas that was stolen, it was an i5. I like this computer much better. I have had no issues with this unit

The only thing I didn't like was the 5400 rpm hard drive. I installed a 640GB 7200 rpm drive and I can not get over how much faster it runs

Overall Very Good Notebook

 

I use this computer every day for multiple uses from basic word processing and web surfing to graphic-intense gaming such as Starcraft II and Civilization V. With every setting in Starcraft II set to "Ultra", when there are 50+ units on screen, the...

A lot of bang for the buck ; Nice feel to the (backlit) keypad ; Display looks fantastic (resolution and finish) and can be opened to a very wide angle if required for viewing ; The cooling fan is very efficient and effective

As expected for a high performance computer, the battery life is not good. Just doing simple functions like word processing or web surfing will wear out the battery in about 2-2.5 hours. Playing a game like Starcraft II will wear it out in under 1 hour...
