Be on one's guardI am very disenchanted. I spent $1699 before tax and software for this computer. I have had the computer less than 2 years and the screen started flashing (see K Krieg's look at). I took it into Sony for repair. They told me the NVIDIA (which is fused to the motherboard so it means a new motherboard) was education exceptional and wrote that on the repair slip. They also said that there is only a one year warantee so I am out of success rate. I would be very disappointed if I bought a Sony TV for $500 and it broke within 2 years. They have had some problems and issues with the video be forthright in the past. I don't think that K Krieg and I are the only ones that have experienced this problem (or will know-how it). I can't believe they want more money from me. How long should a computer like this last. Who is responsible if the parts are broken?

Preceding review
This is a very minute laptop. Its bigger and heavier than what I expected, but seems to be exactly what I need. I safe haven't used it much though, at least not enough to write a full review. I have noticed that it has Windows Vista preloaded, but I couldn't find the Windows Vista system disc in the box.
A chock-full desktop replacement.
This is a appealing hefty system meaning it's large and heavy. The upside is that it's very powerful and comparable with a mid-go pc capable of playing modern games.
It sports 4GB of RAM however since it has the 32-bit variant of Windows Vista, the system only recognizes a max of 3GB of RAM. I do not know why they put 4GB of RAM in the system but installed an OS that can only recognize 3GB. Seems like a despoil that we the consumers must pay for.
Also if you try to install a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or XP, Sony will plan for you no support because they only support 32bit driver versions for this system. You can find 64-bit versions of the video fated drivers but you need to tweak the .inf file so that Vista matches the drivers with your metal goods other wise it will say you have no valid hardware. The rest of the hardware you're pretty much on your own, some of the drivers can be conflicting and matches but other wise cannot. So if you get this system realize that if you decide to install another OS on here, you may run into some issues with drivers. Also the system comes with no discs so stalemate the drive if you decide to format.
Other than that it's a great system, it's very fast and powerful. Artistic for everything. I'd recommend for someone who needs a powerful laptop that can be taken on the go. I would not recommend it to someone who travels a skilful deal as the system is very large and heavy.
Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B
I Proclivity the Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B I used to have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and I start to have problems when I played my games, so I elect to buy this computer after reading all the reviews, I choose one day shipping and the next day I have my new laptop, it came very well packaged don't have recapture disc but I don't think is important I have almos 2 years with my dell and never habituated to the recovery programs, but I made my recovery disc after removing all the programs I didn't hanker after.
I turn on the Laptop and I noticed The screen is too bright to my eyes I have substantial eyes, but when you are out in the sun is perfect, The only thing I don't like is that when I adjust the display jollity to lower a noise appear and I call the VAIO support but they told me that this is normal because of the merit quality of the display so i will buy a privacy filter soon to not heard that noice and my eyes not suffer.
The calibre of the colors of the display are fantastic nothing compare with my Dell also is fast, tight very fast, I install all my games the Monopoly, Zuma Deluxe, Chuzzle Luxury, Cradle Of Rome, Dairy Dash, Ranch Rush, Thicken Mania2, Chocolatier 1 & 2,Cooking Academy, Hoyle Riddle & Board Games, Solitaire City, Slingo Supree, Age of empires and all vocation great I liked to play lots of games, I transfer all my videos, Music and perfect example inform and I'm only used 177 GB so I still have lot of free space.
I have a program to conver the dimensions of my videos but with the VAIO Video and Photo Suite and with the "click to disc" choice I don't need nothing more. I'm not use all the programs that this machine have already, but it will take some time to used them all.
I removed some installed programs that came and I don't insufficiency and of corse I remove the Norton 360 antivirus because I use it before with my Dell for a year and didn't liked because slows my computer a lot and if you sine qua non to do a sistem restore always meke problems it take a lot of time to installed and more notwithstanding to uninstaled, so I install the ESET Smart Security is better and you don't even give attention to that is there and it's very secure.
I bought the Targus CVR217 Neoprene Slip Invalid for 17" Notebooks (Black/Blue) and it's perfect for this Laptop and fine looking, but you can only put the laptop and the AC adapter, don't have to much space, so I bougth also the Targus TXL617 17 XL Pad Backpack is large very large and you can put lots of stuff there also the Neoprene lose one's footing case fits.
I higly recomend the Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B is great..!!!
