I just received it yesterday, so my review may need some updates later. br / br /1st - it took me couple hours to remove everything that was preinstalled on this laptop by Sony. After I removed all unwanted software, the laptop became noticeably faster. br /2nd - DVD drive did not work and I found some more people complaining about this issue online. I contacted Sony customer service online and they provided me with the instructions how to fix this issue (it took 5min to make some changes in the registry). br / br /Overall, I would give 5 stars, however, because of the issues mentioned above, I'm giving it 4 stars.
 Really Good ! November 20, 2007

this is a really great Sony product. It is light, it is fast, great screen and works very well with Windos Vista Premium. What are the "cons" ?.. too many trials that are not so easy to put to work or even not really cheap to buy; I took out the Norton as it was too heavy even to this equipment; I faced some problems with Adobe, as there was a trial installed and when I tried to download the Reader version, it never worked because the system called all the time the pre-installed trial version... so my recommendation; eliminate all the unacessary trials you have - there are too many - and work with what you really want. Finally, the battery life is not significant. If you plan to work unplugged, think for buying a large capicity battery VGP-BPL8. br /Despite this cons, I really recommend this notebook.

I ordered this item on oct 1st with 2 day shipping but got the item on Oct 2nd i was very happy with the shippment, as i had to pay nothing for shipment and i started using this Sony for couple of weeks this was very good. After that the screen started flickering and i started seeing lines on the screen. I think i got a defective peice and luckily before one month only i could find out that otherwise i wouldn't have got my entire refund. br / br /Now i am about to recieve my refund as of Nov 2nd. br / br /I dont recommend this product as i was very big fan of Sony Viao and thinking that it will last for more time but for my it was very big disappointment. br / br /I have 2 dell laptops and i wanted one more for my brother so i ordered one more dell. br /

I'm happy with this notebook, I have purchased 3 of them already for myself and family and they work pretty well with Vista. They are light to carry comparing to other notebooks in the market. However, something that annoys me the most about this notebook is the noisy buttons below the touchpad. Also the built in webcam won't work sometimes and I have to restart the computer to use my webcam which is pretty annoying as well.

I think the machine works great. However, I had a problem when trying to replace VISTA OS with XP.
