Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We just bought this computer at a Sony Lifestyle store in the Burlington, MA mall and we are very happy with it.
First, I did not experience any excessive fan noise mentioned from the other reviewer. It is so quiet, we have to strain to hear it. My guess is that he has a defective computer.
The other reviewer also said the mouse was small and cheap. Yes its on the smaller side, but while thats perfect for my 4 and 11 yr old, its not so small that it bothers my wife or I. And what he interpreted as 'cheap' feels great to us as it's light and easy to move around.
Other things we love
- The monitor is as bright and sharp as my 18 month old 19" Mac Desktop, which to me is quit an achievement. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous.
- With Windows 7, 500gig hard drive and 4 megs of ram, this computer is lightening fast.
- Blue ray player is a nice touch
- Windows 7 gives me great control over my kids usage which my wife and I love. There is a learning curve from XP but the experience has been enjoyable and positive so far.
- Its sleek design was a great replacement for our 5 yr old desktop running XP. Takes up very little space
We love it and would buy it again in a flash.

1) Regarding another reviewer's complaint that it doesnt come with a Windows 7 disc to use in case of virus problems, etc, when I called the Sony store I bought this computer from, they were very helpful and explained that if you click on the "VAIO Care" icon on your task bar, among other useful options you will see a choice for "creating backup disc". It will burn the entire Windows 7 Operating system as well as all the programs the computer originally came with onto DVD. This is the disk you use if you ever need to reinstall Windows or any of the programs the computer came with.
2) This computer came with a 64 bit version of Windows 7 which while faster than a 32 bit operating system, does not work with many of my older programs that worked well on XP (which is 32 bit). Also does not work with my $600 Canon laser printer forcing me to go buy a new printer. Many software and hardware manufacturers have not yet, and may never, create drivers or updates to accomodate this new 64 bit operating system. You may want to make sure that your critical software and peripherals will work with this new version of Windows.
3) Another reviewer complained that he cant get high def graphics. He must not have his monitor set to the highest resolution as mine is set to 1680 x 1050 which exceeds 1080 high def resolution. Also, judging small monitors by TV standards is irrelevant because you dont need 1080 to get a high def picture on a monitor this small. 1080 is only needed for high def on screens 32" and larger
