As I had suspected I was not able to recover the machine and my contact information was taken for referral to a local representative.To my surprise, within 2 business days I had a call from the local person and the next day he made the repairs at my office. I was extremely impressed with this process and even though the machine died the day after I got it I was so impressed with the process I would buy another if the need were present.Buy this machine, it's great and the support couldn't be better. I was not able to complete the troubleshooting that time but when I called back to continue, expecting the same hoop-la, I was amazed to find myself fast-tracked to an actual operator. Hmmm.I called up SONY and after jumping through all the normal hoops of button pressing and holding sessions I was connected with an operator who talked me through the troubleshooting process. Very light and very brilliant picture. I was very enthusiastic when this machine showed up at home. The next day, while kicking back feeling pretty content and surfing for accessories, it died. The system recognized my phone number and that I had called recently.
Just a slight problem with the screen. Frames is too thin so it doesn't really support the screen. Pretty Good deal from AMAZON.com warehouse. I think sony needs to do something regarding the monitor frame, and screen of this model.
Not for any loyalty reasons (I'm actually more loyal to Amazon.com than Sony). This is a nicely configured computer, but at Sony's website you can configure this with a 2.4 GHz P series processor, 320 GB of HDD space at 7200 rpm, 4 GB of RAM, and ATI Radeon HD graphics with a HDMI output -- for $1329.
I got a further discount, which means that I got the above-mentioned configuration for $1238 before tax ($1398 + tax, and shipping is free if you opt for the 5-day).I'll be back to review it once I get it. You can get the total package, tax and shipping included, for less than Amazon charges you for this before that.
If you want the pink version, add $50. Actually, you might get the discount regardless of whether you are, as long as you register an account with them and log in when you buy it.
I don't have this computer yet -- I just ordered it today, from Sony's website -- but I am just coming to warn folks to consider buying it from Sony's website. but because of the cost.
(Probably not their fault).And if you are a college student, join Sony Style Campus and get an extra discount.
I love the fashion looking of the vaio and especially the key board. the audio is not very good but I can accept that.
I bought mine approximately two-three monhs ago and have not found one thing about it that I don't like. This laptop is great. This is a great laptop at an affordable price.
