Sony VAIO VGX-XL301

Good value for money

TOO BULKY/ CLUMSY , TOO BIG - SIZE wise

The Media Centre, very quite when running, has alot of outputs.

Software stopped working for the TV guide

Fantastically versatile media oriented PC. Good looks and very well made

Gets into a tizzy sometimes and wont respond: so needs restarting. Quite a moody machine!

Features & functions

User guides. Nothing included for keyboard, connections etc

Keeps crashing and not repsonding properly

Media centre is excellent for accessing and playing your music collection

Vaio support is dreadfull. I have a ongoing problem setting up a tv signal which has taken two months and is still not resolved. no uk service centre my unit was taken to france for investigation

When it works its great. Windows Vista. HD output. Wireless keyboard Vista Media Center looks really nice (the main reason I bought this machine)

Has a 1080 Full HD logo on it (which according to Sony doesn't mean 1080p!) the bundled drivers only support 1080i. Windows Vista is bug ridden (especially failing to wake from sleep) Still speaking to Sony and Microsoft support to get the machine to...

Storage, looks and ease of use

Vista!!, expensive for not having office and switches off whenever I change channell on my TV!
