Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Is it really comfort? Comment: What is most comfortable? To have wires to the keyboard and mouse? Or wireless, and run to the store for new batteries every once in a while??? At least there should be an option to use wires.
Customer Rating: Summary: Way better than an iMac Comment: I bought this desktop after trying an iMac; the Vaio is a much better computer and more user-friendly. The Intel processor is lightning fast and runs multiple applications simultaneously and smoothly. The display is extremely clear and shows web pages and movies equally well. Best of all, the unit looks striking sitting on the desk; neat and unique. I've been using this computer for six months and haven't had a lick of trouble. I love it and would definitely recommend it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Defective Memory Comment: I know I could be an odd fluke - but I brought two of these and returned both of them due to defective RAM modules. When I contacted Sony support they were not helpful at all. I would hesitate to recommend Sony's product to anyone else. Customer Rating: Summary: Gorgeous Screen and Extremely Compact, but poor documentation Comment: I bought this model for its exceptionally compact size (I have a small desk), outstanding screen, and multimedia capabilities. Amazon had it in stock and provided free shipping. The unit had one bad pixel--a red that stayed on all the time, which was a problem when editing photos; SONY sent out a technician to my home and replaced the screen even though a single pixel isn't strictly covered by the warranty. I was very happy with the repair and everything has worked fine since. I like the bright screen--whites are white, blacks are black, and colors are full. I think that all these features make this expensive computer worth it. (Check specs on newer models before purchasing.)
The main drawback is the poor documentation. I couldn't find out anything on the analog video and audio capture abilities in either the supplied documentation (PDF files) or online. These features seem to be a secret! Not even e-mail tech support could tell me about them. I was able to capture analog video (RCA and S-video jacks are on the back) and analog audio (thru line-in jack on left side) with utilities in the Roxio Creator Suite (not included with the computer). Customer Rating: Summary: Sony Vaio-Wow! Comment: If first impressions are important, then this is a great computer. Besides the fact that everything is wireless and compact, it is great for picking up HDTV signals over-the-air from the local channels. Only time will tell on quality. I have bought Toshiba and Compaq in the past and both had major issues. Vista's o.k. but annoying as I'm sure it is to everyone else trying to find patches to make it work with past softwares. So far though, we love this computer and would recommend it to anyone willing to spend a couple extra bucks.
