Sony Vaio Update

wb4bbc — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:13:49 +0000

Well finally a post about my time with the Sony Vaio:

The Sony Vaio is a nice machine but I did not care for the Windows Vista and the problems that went along with it which included a clean install of the the Windows Vista , after uninstalling all the bloatware that came with it, the machine started to act funny and would have random freeze ups, so after I reinstalled from a clean Windows Vista disk I had laying around, I then had to install all the Vaio only items to get the card reader to work and of course had to install a video drive that was for the vaio only, I was unable to use the plain Nividia driver. All in all if you are looking for a decent machine with decent specs, and you want a Windows Machine this one might fit your bill if you are can deal with the drawbacks. I think there is better choices in the market . Overall Rating I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Sony Vaio

After I looked around for a new Laptop, I tryed out serveral and have to say the Sony Vaio came out on top , you see I ordered a Dell but after looking at the price and the specs I found out that I could do better then the 1800 bucks that they wanted. So I thought hey I own a few Macs maybe I should try the Macbook, so I ordered it and was excited when it arrived only to find that I was not happy on how they laid out the machine, all the ports are located on the left side, how stupid is that ? I use a usb mouse and I am right handed, so that was the first announce, then I looked at the proformance and was not that impressed the small screen was bright and pretty but alittle smaller then I thought I would like to use, another thing that I did not like was the cheap feeling plastic that the machine presented, it well felt cheap ! So I went hunting for a Microsoft Vista laptop and found the Sony Vaio, FZ340E/B. this machine is a very nice machine, it feels solid and it fast, the only complaint is that I have to spend alittle time taking some of the Trailware off, and installing Antivirus, but other then those small things it isa great machine, I can recommend one of these if you are looking for a new one, will give you more of a updrate as I work with the machine.
