Thankful for my Computer Savy Son
By D. Long
I'm in love with Windows 8 and this laptop! I would not be feeling the same if it weren't for my son's help. Everything went smoothly during setup, except I was having a frustrating time getting connected to the internet. Internet showed I was connected, all looked perfect, just could not get a good connection. I was feeling like I had the slowest laptop ever made, my Sony Vaio netbook was faster! I was not very happy. Disappointed, I even had another model laptop picked out after reading the reviews here.Thankfully my son, who's been singing the praises of Windows 8 since his beta version, informed me that I probably needed my drivers updated. He told me to use my other laptop to access Sony's website to get to the software/drivers needed for this model. I simply downloaded the update for the Wireless LAN, moved the file to a usb flash drive so I could install it on this laptop. After the update was installed, I restarted just to be sure everything was set, and like magic I had speedy internet service.My husband and daughter have different models of the S Series, only with Windows 7. I knew what to expect concerning the larger mouse pad, as it takes some getting used to, and can get in the way a little while typing. I like the lighted keyboard, and how thin this laptop is. I also chose this model because I'm not ready to give up my CD/DVD drive yet. This laptop has everything I wanted, except I plan to add more memory. I think it is at a reasonable price too.Anyway, everything is working great. Now I have only to learn my way around Windows 8.Wanted to add: Don't make the mistake I did an order 2x8 GB memory kit. My fault that I didn't notice that the 4 GB was fixed. I should have ordered just the one 8 GB of notebook memory to get the maximum 12 GB.

It's a Sony
By hussain
TECH GEEK AND VALUE-HOLIC'S REVIEWI must admit that I sped half of my salary on latest gadgets while making sure that I don't overpay for anything. Hence I never waste money on overpriced products from a fruit named company and the likes. Hence when I saw this laptop at 550 dollars at amazon, I knew i just had to buy it because the valueholic in me won't forgive me if i don't give a try.I am quite happy that I did pull the trigger (till now...I will keep on updating this article). This is an extremely high end looking and feeling laptop made of magnesium alloy and for this money you won't find a core i5 laptop, let alone one which is as light as this one (3.8 pounds), has a slot loading optical drive, made of magnesium alloy and carries an expensive brand name (sony) instead of acer or asus.However keeping aside what a great value this laptop is, here is what I think of this laptop during my two week's acquaintance with the product.PRO'SExcellent (I mean EXCELLENT) Keyboard and Touch Pad.Very Fashionable (everyone thinks i bought if for at least a 1000 dollars)Scratch Resistant Magnesium alloy Casing.Quite Fast with Core I5.Windows 8 is what Windows Vista should have been, an OS for the 21st century (see below as well)CON'SWindows 8 (can be daunting at first for technically challenged people)The Screen has quite bad Viewing Angles (and i mean QUITE bad). Come on Sony i know this is a cheap laptop but my 5 year old hp netbook has better viewing angle than this one.Sony product have proven unreliable for me in last 2 years. Let's see how this one holds out.______________________________________________________________UPDATE 1:1. I updated the touchpad software (synaptics) and upon restart the touchpad reverted to default windows drivers. I had to manually go to website and download and install the synaptic touchpad driver.______________________________________________________________UPDATE 2:1. The pc hanged and upon restart a message appeared "No Operating System installed". I went to bios and saw that internal hard drive is not detected. Thinking that the connection may have become loose i gave laptop a slight shake and Eureka the laptop started working.______________________________________________________________UPDATE 3:I absolutely adore the keyboard of this machine. Very Very comfortable to type on.______________________________________________________________UPDATE 4:The screen viewing angles have really started to annoy me. Come on Sony i know this is a cheap laptop but my 5 year old hp netbook has better viewing angle than this one.________________________________________________________________

I disagree with other buyers who have said it is a bad product. Not true! I'm testing it and I can say that all the specifications are correct. It's a fast laptop, very convenient to work, as far as appearance is great, nothing to envy to other similar, but has a superior finish to many! It is elegant, has very good resolution, pleasant to the touch, probably with more RAM will be perfect. I will buy more, remember that you can add up to 12GB. I love this laptop! I recommend it!
