I bought my viao laptop at a Circuit City outlet for about $300 because it was a floor model. I've had it for about 6 months and everything is still working just great. I use the typical Microsoft programs and also use a number of photo correction and storage programs. Occasionally I watch videos on the laptop and the images is beautiful. I would recommend this machine.

This is my second time buying Sony VAIO. I was reasonably happy with the first one until it suddenly died after 3 years. This one is also BADDDDDD! Actually very bad. Vista is a big part of it with small memory.
I had to send it for three times for repair within 6 month from purchase.

I will buy SONY no more.

once you add a gig of ram and take out the adware, it runs really smoothly. the screen is a little excessively glossy, but overall it's been great. they even fixed it for free when the dvd player broke. so cool.

The computer is very slow with 1GB of RAM and running Vista. It's loaded with all kinds of junk software (AOL,Norton,tons of Sony stuff). I'm sweating writing this because the computer gets so hot, even when not running much.

I had this for 3 months when it died with an "Operating system not found" error. I spent several hours/days dealing with Sony tech support trying a variety of things, and finally after they could not fix it they sent someone out to fix it since it was under warranty. They swapped out my hard drive and I lost everything.

If it weren't for the warranty and the fact Sony came to me to fix it for free, I think I would swear off Sony products, and I was a Sony die-hard. I had a Vaio before this and liked it, but this is a piece of junk that I would avoid. I won't be buying another VAIO!!

The product is good quality with nice screen and wonderful sound. They sent me good product as i ordered in the internet except the colour, because i ordered white colour from beginning and then they do not have this colour. So they gave me alternative colour is silver. Limitation time and need laptop urgently are main reasons why i accepted the colour. the important things, i am enjoy with this laptop.
