Cons I've had mine for 36 hours, and I am really bummed that it's not all that it's cracked up to be. The screen is way too glossy. It turns out to be resolution overkill -- everything's too small (and I'm someone who usually likes smallest fonts/ highest re on November 11, 2004  | Read full review

Cons Slow DH drive, no available with 2.0 cpu. when play some old 640X480 games, only see a small window, can not fill the screen. on July 23, 2004  | Read full review

Cons XP Home. Awful proprietary Sony software, zero battery life, HEAVY, huge, limited connection options, sometimes up and disconnects from docked speakers. MSRP is ludicrous. Screen went kaput after four years. TV tuner in dock and not computer. on February 12, 2009 by ThatIsWhatSheSaid  | Read full review

Cons The remote software SUCKS. It is not even set to use hotkeys. If you buy this laptop, go purchase a copy of girder. I also cannot believe that sony put the IR reciever on the speakers instead of the laptop, but they did find room for a modem and memory on November 30, 2004  | Read full review

Cons I have found that after just about half and hour of use it begins to overheat and you can feel the heat through to the keypad and my left palm can feel it as i type which is quite disconcerting. Sony singapore said they played a dvd and found the heating on September 25, 2004  | Read full review

Cons It's size ties it down, but if you want a 17" screen then this is going to be the price you pay. It's also a little short on horse power. on September 19, 2004  | Read full review

Cons Some of the software is not the full product and expires, GFX card cannot be upgraded, HD is only 4200rpm. Only a 1yr warrenty. on September 14, 2004  | Read full review

Cons I haven't tried Sony support since the machine is working fine. This isn't a travel machine for those who want the light and thin. But for those that want to feel like they have their office with them when they go on business, this does the job...and pla on September 10, 2004  | Read full review
