Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A lemon computer
Spent my savings on this computer for college. Computer locked up after attempting to install a purchased version of Microsoft Office Student to replace the trial version. After over an hour with Sony Vaio tech support, could not remove the trial version. As per their instructions I had to run a systme recovery and reformat the hard drive and then reload microsoft vista updates - took over 2 hours. Then tried to uninstall the trial version of Microsoft Office Student - again unsuccessfull. Sony Vaio ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good quality construction
The laptop looks great and the construction material is solid with good quality. Standard USB ports but with nice SD slot handy. Camera quality is sufficient for my use and keyboard is quiet with low stroke. The whole computer looks neat and clean. With upgraded router, we are able to use the maximum speed for wireless connection (N), which is great! However, it came with a lot of commercial software that we have to uninstall them one by one... but i guess that is a common frustration when buying consumer ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sony VAIO - highly recommended!
If you want a high quality product... look no more! This is the laptop that eveyone must have. Blazing-fast performance, excellent color definition and incredible technology.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrendous LCD ruins this laptop
I knew I had made a mistake when I got this laptop and saw the glossy screen. The screen is so glossy it acts as a mirror where you often find yourself staring at yourself. The viewing angle is also the poorest I have seen on any LCD on any computer ever. When I attempt to watch a movie in bed with my girlfriend, only one of us can see the movie without the colors being inverted. We constantly fight over the placement of the screen and eventually both end up being un-happy. The viewing angle is so bad ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Laptop, Decent Software
To be clear, I bought the VGN-FZ460E from Amazon.com, which comes with a Blu-Ray drive and 2GB RAM.

First of all, this laptop is great. It's the second one I have ever purchased, and a much needed upgrade from my 6 year old HP. The wireless is fantastic, being built-in to the laptop, and nearly everything else was more or less plug-and-play. 3 SIDE USB ports make plugging in a drive or a peripheral utterly painless. Performance is excellent - I can run a disk defragger without noticing while ... Read More
