Something to remember when reading any review, most people who are happy with their product don’t write reviews. People who like to leave reviews write reviews and people who are VERY VERY unhappy write reviews, so just always be aware of the biased.

I love this computer with every bit of my heart. I’m not a gamer so I dont have issues with it not being us to gaming snuff. I mostly use the internet to surf and microsoft office and countless chatting programs. Someone at one point said the screen was so shinny that any light source makes it completely useless, I don’t seem to have this problem because I’ve been using it everyday and have never been blinded by light. The unit is lighter weight than my 15.5inch dell insipron (disaster computer) that is currently being replaced with this model. Someone else bitched about getting a blue screen of death, which I have yet to see after two weeks (they claimed it happened within the first hour). Another person said there was difficulty connecting a Bluetooth mouse, which I agreed with, as I just connected my mouse after about 30 minutes of struggling with it. However, it was finally connected after a 5 minute chat with Sony technical support, so it was more user error than computer. There not web button on mine, instead there is an assist button. When I clicked it I was prompted to start up in safe mode, so I am assuming that the assist button would be useful if you computer crashes. The i3 processor is crazy fast, as is windows 7. I really had no problem with vista and decided that everyone hated it because they were told to hate it, but windows 7 is quite amazing. It runs faster, extremely user/idiot friendly. The keyboard is really nice too, I was kind of nervous about this because the keys are all spaced out, unlike normal keyboards where all the buttons are tapered and adjacent to one another, but its actually really comfortable to type on. One draw back is that earlier models (before the i3 processor came out) were bluray players as well, which they took away probably because it was just too good of a computer for the 0 price tag. The speakers are a little lame, but its a laptop and I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of them to begin with as long as they make noise that I can hear when I need to hear it I’m happy. Something else I like is that it has an optical drive. I know this seems like a trival thing but some of the other computer is the same class as this one have removed CD/DVD drives all together which a major deal breaker for me! Someone else complained that there are no shortcut buttons for volume control…really? How lazy are you that you can’t hit “fn” F2 for mute? It one extra button, and the shortcut buttons on the dell never really worked well for me anyway.

For those of you looking at dells at well let me tell you that I built this EXACT same computer on Dells website and it was going to cost at least 0 bucks more which seems like highway robbery to me.

Something to be aware of, apparently new computers do not come with recovery disks anymore. So they highly encourage you to go out, buy a blank DVD, and create a recovery disk pretty much RIGHT out of the box.

Hope this review helps!!!

Faulty product, and Sony won’t honor warranty - beware, don’t buy! - J. Kauffman - St. Louis, MO
I bought this very Sony Vaio laptop less than a month ago. Within 3 weeks of buying it, the top of the laptop started to discolor and warp from the inside. After HOURS of explaining and re-explaining the situation to Sony’s TERRIBLE customer service, they sent a box for me to send the laptop to California for repair.

A week later, I got an estimate from Sony for 7 for the repair. They determined that they won’t cover this repair, and implied that I did something wrong that caused my computer to warp and discolor from the inside. I didn’t.

My experience with Sony and the VAIO has been extremely frustrating, and now I’m out over 0 for a computer that I can’t resell from a company I will never do business with again.

Beware: Sony’s customer service is terrible. If you have a problem with this computer, you are on your own - they will not help or stand behind the VAIO.

Is this laptop Brilliant Pink, the color that Sony website shows? - Hongdan N. Ta -
I really want to buy this laptop from Amazon but I have no idea if the color of laptop is just pink color or the brilliant pink that sony website has.

Over heating ? - Linda Radus - CA
Has anyone noticed any heat problems with this laptop ? Was watching a DVD on the laptop, and fell asleep for a while. When I woke up and picked up the laptop on the left side where the cooling vent is, it was way too hot to hold. I like this laptop, but will probably send it back. Think it could be hot enough to cause a burn.
