    Sony VAIO is very impressive for price by David Uible
    I have found the Sony VAIO to be a great laptop for the price. In particular, I love the 15.4″ screen and resolution.

    sony by Pmed/RN
    While I am satisfied with my lightweight, easy to tote along,Sony Vaio 15.4″ laptop, I am very disapointed with the product delivery. The battery was not enclosed, nor was the mouse. Amazon gave me the number to reach Sony customer service and after 43 minutes of run around and being placed on hold several times, I gave up. I have been away from home since then and have not yet repeated my efforts. I ended up purchasing a battery locally in order to use the laptop on this trip. The missing mouse is not a problem as I have a blue tooth wireless mouse that I will be using instead. I expected more from Sony. Unless I get satisfaction soon this will be the last Sony product that I will purchase. (Forget the new HD large screen TV-if they won’t take care of something this small, I won’t consider a large purchase.

    NEVER BUY A VISTA LAPTOP WITH LESS THAN 2GB of RAM by A. Kaye
    Vista does not run on anything less than 2GB of ram. I have now used / seen 3 laptops with less than 2 GB and they were almost unusable. Even with 2GB of Ram, the laptops are slow.

    Great product by Daniel Berhane
    I bought this laptop for $675.00,a few days later the price went up by about $50.00.So already I am happy about getting a good deal.

    I really like my Sony VAIO,my needs are basic …internet access,some data sharing,watching some clips.For this needs its more than adequate.

    I like the look and feel of it.I am a satisfied consumer.
