This laptop came with a good HD and RAM but the pre-installed Vista caused you lots of trouble because compatibility issues with other software. I had twice "blue screen of death", once in March and second time last week. Luckily for me the Sony Online Assistance help you to chat with the technicians there and help you solve it yourself. Good thing about Sony is they have this hidden drive where you can restore everything when you have issues. Unfortunately you have this Vista crap pre-installed. I tried to contact Microsoft to downgrade my Vista to XP but they were not helping at all. The link they gave you was totally not helpful because you kind of lost and nowhere to start with. I like Sony services but the second time when my hard disk crash again, the Sony technician was telling me it might be caused by hardware. Since I bought this on January, I am still under warranty. But, unfortunately, I had received a statement which said the hardware warranty is not available at this time and I should go to the nearest Sony authorized technician to get it fix. Then, I guess the whole thing now don't sound too good at all when it came to hardware issues.
I HAD THOUGHT A LONG TIME ABOUT GETTING A LAPTOP COMPUTER AND I LOOKED AT MANY BRANDS AND TYPES. IT FINALLY CAME DOWN TO EITHER A SONY VAIO OR A HP. IT FINALLY CAME DOWN TO THE SONY VAIO AND I HAVE NOT REGRETTED MY DECISION. I AM NOT A PERSON WHO HAS TO USE A COMPUTER IN WORK, BUT I DID WANT ONE TO SUPPORT MAINLY PHOTOS. THIS ONE SEEMED TO BE ALL I NEEDED FOR WHAT WAS REQUIRED. FOR THE PRICE I FEEL LIKE IT IS A GREAT CHOICE. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS BASICS WITH A LITTLE EXTRA.
Well this one has a processor that is not good enough for handle Windows VISTA. So just a advice,if you are going for Vista make sure u go for Core 2 Duo with high performance.
But other than that this looks cool.Specialy being a SONY VAIO.The rough finish to the outside makes it look unique and trendy
