good for regular use
It is a good notebook with around 5.75 lb wt.
It comes with VISTA HOME. I could not upgrade it to VISTA ULTIMATE as SONY does not have supporting DRIVERS for this model and it has no plan of developing them. I'm very upset and dissappointed by this as I cannot run few application softwares.
SONY should make this public so that people can decide before buying the product.

Good computer with too much junkware and a slow harddrive.
I've had this laptop for a little over a week now and I'm pretty happy with it. I've worked with computers for about 20 years now and I feel I have a lot of experience. I've only ever had desktops and most of them I build myself, but the time had finally come for me to get a notebook.

Overall I'm happy with this item. The build quality is pretty good, the only thing I noticed has been mentioned before and it is the battery doesn't fit very snug, but it's no big deal.

There is a lot of junk software pre-installed on this thing, it took me a couple hours to get rid of it all as it requires many many reboots. I installed the recommended windows vista updates once this was all done but I had to uninstall some of them. The updated nvidia video card drivers for example caused the notebook to dump memory and crash about every 5 minutes. So I recomend not installing that update if you get this computer.

The main downside is the extremely slow hard drive. It is nice that it is so large and at least it is pretty easy to replace, but I would have rather paid a little more for a faster hard drive.

Value for money.... sony vaio
I got bought this Sony Laptop last month. I am very much satisfied with the performance and quality. Worth for the money spent.
