AMAZING SONY NEVER FAILS I got this laptop as a birthday present in December and so far I've been in love with it. The webcam is okay, it's quality could be better but it's still nice and does it's job. I have not had any slowing down but and no crashes until I downloaded a bad program but, besides that the computer its self is wonderful and it fulfills it's purpose to the max! *I do not recommend it though for those who are gamers* January 12, 2012
A surpisingly good computer This computer arrived soon after we ordered it. Apparently standard shipping is fed ex for us, otherwise sony just really likes us. Anyways, setup was very easy and the look of the computer doesn't degrade after fingerprints are made since the diamond shaped shell prevents that. Sturdy construction and user friendly hardware as well as software. January 8, 2012
Good low budget VAIO Good entry level VAIO - and you can feel why this one is cheaper (did Sony ever sell 500$ PCs?) - the case is plastic, the lid actually bends noticeably, and what I am unhappy with is the screen quality - far blow the SONY quality standard I am used to. The screen lacks that brilliance and richness of colors that I am accustomed to from SONY products (specifically compared to older VAIOs). Other than that, good performance, everything you need from an everyday PC is there and all around this is a good "low budget" VAIO. December 31, 2011
Excellent Computer This is my first personal laptop. I have used others in the past in my work and when borrowing my husbands. I am so happy I chose this laptop. It is very fast and has several nice features. I love that it is completely white and I love the textured outer shell. So far I have had no issues with this computer. October 28, 2011
