When I first bought my Sony VAIO Laptop (FE Series), I was thrilled.  A white keyboard that is almost recessed...how cool is that?  Within 3 months, however, the keyboard started for malfunction.  Some of the letters would not respond, and some would print out a number instead.  Thankfully it was...

I like the Sony Vaio laptop because it is great for new and experienced users. I am on my second sony vaio laptop and my mother-in-law is also a vaio user. I have a background in IS helpdesk and office management software and she is a simple email and scrapbooker. Seeing the ease of use for us both has made me a believer. I only wish the plug in was a little sturdier. There is sufficient memory for all my photos and music files. The s video output has not been as consistent as I would like - again the plug in is not overly sturdy. Outside of that it is great.

I love my Sony Vaio Laptop.  It has Windows Vista on it and once you learn to use it, it is unbeatable. You can add to it many different things as long as your pocket book holds out.  I researched many different ones before I bought mine and liked this better than most. Although it doesn't have a Floppy disk place on it , you can buy one that works well with it.  I use my laptop often without being plugged in the wall.  I fixed my laptop up to use it the wireless way.  I didn't have to download many games on my laptop because it came with several already loaded on it.


I played the games untill...

I absolutely love my Sony Vaio laptop computer.  What first attracted me to it was the name.  Sony makes the best products that last the longest.  In my experience, everything I have ever bought that was Sony was a quality product which makes me look for the name whenever I buy electronics of any kind.

Another very attractive feature is that these laptops come in beautiful colors.  Not only did they have pink, my favorite color, but it is a frosty, classy pink.  I also like how it has the color inside and out, whereas many others only have the color on the outside. I get so many compliments...

I've always been a computer nut, even though I may not know as much as some people about how to use one.  I have tried other brands of computers before and wasn't completely satisfied.  When I decided it was time for me to get a newer laptop I did some looking around and I even did my research.  I came across the Sony Vaio and was instantly drawn to it.  It's appearance was what first caught my attention, but the features it offered was what sold me on it.  It had the best appearance and all the features I was looking for in a laptop and it was the best deal.  I couldn't pass it up.  Since...

I bought a very expensive (and in my opinion) overpriced Sony Viao laptop several years ago.  I finally replaced it.  From the day I got it home, the fan was extremely loud and it ran really slowly.  I had it serviceds approximately 5 times in 3 years.  Thank god I purchased the extended warrenty because I would be out megabucks without it.  The battery died 3 times.  The current battery does not work at all but because the warrenty ran out, I will not be replacing it.  This computer runs very hot.  It is also very heavy compared to other laptops I have owned.  I bought this computer as...

I purchased my Sony Vaio laptop in October of 2005 since I was at that time doing contract writing and editing. I needed to be able to have portability and wireless capability. At the time I also purchased a wireless router.  The system was very easy to set up, the computer worked extremely well, and except for a small problem with the sound card (which was covered under my warranty) the unit has worked fairly flawlessly ever since and I'm still using it 4 years later (almost unheard of with electronics like computers). Last year I did change out the hard drive due to a problem with overheating...

The sony vaio CR series laptop is very handy to use. It looks great. The 2 mega pixel camera is awesome. I have brought this a year ago, I didnot get any problem with any of its parts. Vista operating system is very much compatable with this laptop. Speakers are really good. It has in built speaker phone. Enough memory is provided with very low cost. I personally like sony products because they provide a very good customer care. I would prefer sony rather than Dell and HP because the main problem with HP laptops that I found is the charges gets heated up with in no time and I am not satisfied with...

Its very lightweight and easier to lug around from home to work than my previous laptop Its more compact than my previous laptop too which had to be repaired 3 times within the first year I had it. The keyboard is very spacious yet compact allowing me to type faster. Its speed is compariable to even the higher priced laptops. The only negative I found on this laptop so far is the built in web cam  Its only 1.3 mega pixels so the clarity of your pictures is certainly of...

This is a great computer. I have had my sony vaio for almost three years and I have never had a problem with it. It still runs as well today as the day I bought it and I use it for work for about 7 hours a day. As long as proper upkeep is done regualarly you should have no problems at all with this computer. It is easy to use, easy to transport, and very sleep. I love the silver cover on mine. I love the widescreen and the vivacious colors that come across. It has great programs and the keyboard is so easy to use. I wish that it had a number pad as so many laptops do now as hopefully in the future...

The Sony VAIO is a great computer with many features.  I bought mine last year (2008) and have not had any significant problems with the laptop.  It has not crashed once and since I am a graduate student and gamer, it's important for a laptop to be high efficient and reliable.  The computer is high speed and I have great wireless connection anywhere in my home.  I'm a multitasker when on the computer and have not had any problems with the internet or gaming screens freezing up on me. Because of the new microsoft office software, I have had some problems with that particular program freezing...

The Sony Vaio was my Christmas present to myself last year after my husband got a big screen tv! I took a ton of time researching computers and the Vaio seemed to fit my needs the best. I read a lot of great reviews as well. I LOVED the fact that the Vaio came in a pink color! At first I wasnt crazy about Microsoft Vista but after a while I got used to it, and now I am ok with it. The keyboard is a bit higher than most and it is a bit loud, but I actually prefer the higher keyboard after using it for some time. At first it was difficult to get used to though.The screen is a nice size and has nice...

I have had a Sony Vaio NS laptop for about five months and have enjoyed it very much.  The laptop has many good qualities, and a couple poor qualities that could be improved.  My favorite thing about the Sony Vaio is that it is easy to use.  The NS is a basic, nice laptop.  It is a bit pricey, but worth it.  It stays pretty clean, and does not show fingerprints like some other laptops do.

The negative side of the Sony Vaio NS is that the battery power only lasts a couple of hours, so I always plug it in while I am using it.  The other negative feature is that it gets pretty hot.  It is...

I went to Graduate School for two years and graduated.  My Sony Vaio (weighing less than 3 lbs.) was most useful and convenient to carry. I bought a brand new HP laptop which weighed 6 lbs. which I ended up giving away to my daughter.  The 9" Vaio did the same job the 15" HP could.  Term papers, note taking, Microsoft word applications, power point presentations, researching or just surfing on the internet: my Vaio did all of these.  Not to mention listening to music and watching video clips on You Tube.  I am going to try for my Doctorate's soon and I don't think I can finish my research... read full review »
