Excellent laptop but blu-ray hd graphics.....
Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI purchased this laptop from the best buy website, free shipping, excellent service. I have had 2 HP laptops for the last 5 years, one had blu-ray, no problems,I was very happy with them, but this time I decided to tr something new, so I got this sony vaio and I was very happy to see how beautiful it was when I opened the box. The top is silver and inside is white and silver,beautiful. Super fast, it took me like 2 minutes to set it up, screen is bright and very clear. To be hones I'm alitle disapointed with the blu-ray graphics, movies look opaque and don't look like HD to me... compared to my last HP laptop, blu-ray movies were like WOW, movies looked amazing, another thing that I compared with HP is the webcam, just to give you an idea, this sony vaio webcam still looks like slow motion type, while HP movement was great. Another disapoinment are the speakers, they're very weak, I used it in a quite room and I have to turn up the volume to 70 or 80 to hear, and is not even loud. Would I recomend this laptop? I'm not sure, I just hope that my review helps you to decide if this laptop is for you. I'm keeping mine.

Great Laptop Overall
Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI've had my laptop for almost two months now. The first one I purchased (same model) had a defect with the internet which was immediately returned. I was provided with a new one. I haven't had any problems since. I mainly use my laptop for school whether to access the internet, excel or word. It has a fast start up, it's bright and it's pretty easy to use. 10 key is definitely a great feature! Just what I was looking for. A few issues I have, however, are the battery life and the volume. I have a four hour class so I always have to make sure I bring my charger. Otherwise, I only use it when I most need it. Also, the volume is not as loud as I would prefer it to be. Compared to my previous hp laptop, the sound is very low. Other than that the performance overall is great! Love it!

I love it!
Posted .I would recommend this to a friendMy first laptop that I bought was an HP DV9000 and I only had problems with it. I had it for around 2 years and finally I had had enough of it. I found this laptop here on amazon and then I was told that it was cheaper on best buy. I placed the order on best buy and I had it expressed. a day later I was told that it was back-ordered so I called in to cancel the order. I cancelled it over the phone and then placed a new order for this laptop. a few days later I was told that both laptops had shipped out. finally I got everything figured out and returned the original laptop. now for the review: I really love everything about it. my old hp laptop used to overheat like crazy but because this laptop's "vent" (for lack of a better word) is on the side it never overheats. the sound is great. windows 7 is beautiful. and the best part about it is that it is really light. I can close it and carry it to another place without any problem (unlike my old laptop which weighed a whopping 8.5 lbs. I also like that the keyboard's keys have spaces between them. the plug also has a cool hard thing that is in the shape of an 'L' and that way the plug doesn't have to bend and break. it has 4 USB jacks and the DVD player is really nice. the webcam's quality is really great (has a slight buzzy sound but besides for that its really good) and on top of that the laptop is really pretty! I'm in love!

Just OK
Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendThis is the forth VAIO I have purchased and the quality on their lower end models seems to have dropped significantly. I have purchased two on the higher end and both performed well. This is the second I have purchased at the lower end and this one just seems to not be put together quite as well as previous models.

Good for everyday laptop
Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendThis laptop is good but the webcam is blurry and it gets warm like an hp. Its not as fast as you think because this is an AMD Vision not a Intel Pro....Its better to have intel but in general it s a good laptop at leas thist can hold you for 3 or 4 years up to the person.

Many problems Sony tech support not helpful
Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendI purchased this computer in August and have had numerous issues including the computer freezing, an inability to install Microsoft Office and McAffe anti-virus software, and an inability to back the computer up to an online server. I called the Sony tech support and they rushed me through "fixes"; only for me to encounter the same problems again. That was all in the first two weeks after my purchase. In the third week I had spent 3 hours on the phone with tech support to "revert my computer to the state it was when I purchased it". Which erased everything I put on the computer. That "fix" lasted two weeks. Another call to tech support "fixed" it for another week. Right now my computer is not usable, it won't boot, and I am waiting for a new hard drive to be installed. The wait time is approximately 2 weeks. I tried to return the computer to Sony and they said that they don't give refunds and that I just have to be patient while I wait. Take my advice: Spend three hundred more dollars and get a MAC, which will be trouble free. I had one for four years and really regret buying a PC again.
