Customer Reviews
Extensive desktop replacement... travelers may want to purchase an further larger battery..I purchased this consequence in February and after 4 months I can state that this is a great value purchase. It's unkind to find a comparable product with Blu-Ray etc. from a name that is known for great products and great character service (Sony).
Pro's: Beautiful display, Blu-Ray drive, light-weight (for the protect size), price
Con's: Limited battery life, When upgrading to Windows 7 (Rating Copy) the shortcut keys become disabled with no patch/fix out from Sony yet, relatively low keynoter volume.
This is a dream machine for the basic PC user, just big-hearted it up, plug it in and you are good to go. Out of the box it takes about 10-15 minutes to enter your data and register the product with Sony. Once you get to getting you feel for it you will notice that the display is wonderful (especially when playing a blu-ray player). If you are using this as a desktop replacement you should patently have external speakers to use with it due to the limited volume output from the built-ins.
My only problem is if you are like me and feel the urge to upgrade to Windows 7, be on one's guard that the "short-cut/quick keys" for media playing (pause, tome up & down and the s1 button etc.) will be disabled with no fix yet from Sony.
Hope this helps!
sony vaio is most adroitly product
It is hypocritical, yet is surprisingly heavy when held. A downside to this laptop is that the WiFi link needs to be improved.
Wonderful!
I've had this laptop for about two weeks and I inclination it. Whren I turn it on, the start-up time is about 5 seconds then I can go straight to the internet. My last laptop was a Dell and it took about seven or eight minutes to go through the start-up technique. Also the keyboard is solid where the Dell keys were mushy. My only frustration is with Windows Vista because I'm not proficient to easily find some programs.....I ordered a Windows Vista for Dummies so confidently that will help.
Stupendous but only 287 GB HD!
I was fairly happy with it until I checked the hard drive space: only 287 GB out of 320 GB AND no other subdivide! Where did the remaining 33 GB go? There usually is a partition that adds up to the total digit of GB.
I like the color (gray) and it's a pretty good deal for the expense. Bluetooth and wireless N!!
Problems with HDMI uniting solved
Hello everyone including Sony technitions.
First it's noted to know that the laptop arrives with the default set at 720p and must be manually distorted to 1080p when utilizing the HDMI connection.
Next is you must change the viewing to only outside monitor otherwise you cannot watch a Bluray dvd. You will recieve a security problem emergence which will not allow you to proceed watching the movie if both the laptop monitor and the TV are viewable at the same space.
I guess someone feels you're attempting to make a illegal copy?
Next is in the end important especially to all Disney Bluray DVD owners.
When you watch the previews of impending attractions everything looks and sounds great on your Sony TV from the laptop HDMI coherence.
However, when the movie plays you will lose the sound. NO SOUND!
Even the Sony technitions were confused.
Here's the reason....
The Disney soundtrack is automatically default set for 7.1 encompass sound.
You cannot hear the sound at this default setting.
You must access the DVD sting menu and change the audio to ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK.
This happened with "Sleeping Belle", "Pinochio" & Wall-E.
I only own these 3 Bluray DVD's so no one could figure out why I wasn't hearing the tough when the movie played.
Also, I might add that the movies play great on the laptop no meaning which audio track you utilize.
This problem only happens with the HDMI link to a TV such as my new Sony KDL-46XBR6.
The only other item I will mention is the volume on the laptop is really low when watching a flick picture show so plan to use headphones or an external powered speaker when a little babel is in your enviroment.
I plan to keep this laptop because overall it performs great even with Windows Vista installed.
UPDATE:
I contacted tech bolstering at Sony again and this time talked to someone who knew what the problem was and changed a setting on my laptop.
The fruit is that all Bluray DVD's will play okay with 7.1 surround sound thru the HDMI harbour.
