"A true disaster for me."
on by lawclinePros Lightweight.
Cons Reliability has been zero.
Summary I bought the computer in April. I began seeing freezing problems by August, and in October the mother board failed. Essentially, I got six months of use out of it. This was a second computer, with relatively low use. I would compare this with my antique Dell laptop that I have had for about 10 years, including a year of being carried in a rucksack in Iraq, and which continues to chug along. I can't attest to the overall reliability of Sony, but the only other person in my circle whom I know who has a Vaio has also had major reliability issues with it. Based on a very small sample, I'd say find a laptop made by someone else.

"So, far a very good Laptop for the price!"
on by AndruS1974Pros Small and portable, 500GB HD although slow, decent processor.
Cons Poor battery life if you are using wi-fi or watching videos. Slow Hard Drive 5400 rpm. Not enough memory.
Summary Basically, like the Editor said in his review this is a good laptop for travel or just to have for web surfing or watching some videos. I have no idea how game play would be because I don't play games online. I would recommend if you do buy this to upgrade the memory or even install a SSD for a faster boot up and possibly increase the speed in downloads from music or other sites. And also I would upgrade the security software to Norton 360 or some other well know security software. And uninstall any software you think you would not use.
