4.0 out of 5 stars Love everything except the screen
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2014

I never wanted an older laptop before but something about this laptop made me beg my parents to get it for me...
I loved how the screen had a pink border and that's something you can't find in most laptops,
although I do think that the pink color interferes when I'm watching something.
The keyboard is nice and has a soft touch to it when typing however there are some keys that I thought I pressed but I didn't hard enough to show up.

I absolutely hated the auto-brightness sensor that kept dimming and brightening the screen,
I disabled it in Vaio settings but it would still do it when the power cord wasn't plugged in.
Later on I figured I needed to install all the updates including updating the entire laptop to Windows 8.1 to get the problem fixed.

The audio is decent, I discovered there are actually 2 different audio settings and that one is significantly louder if that fits your fancy.

The webcam is utter crap, it has a huge lag and the quality of the video is all pixely which I actually don't mind as I don't do video calls and am not the 'Selfie' type of person :')

I never thought I'd say this, but I actually like Windows 8, the lack of a start button was frustrating at first
but I learned to keep going back to the start screen and selecting apps from there.
plus I owned a windows phone for a good 2 years, so I've had practice. :D

The only thing that annoys me the most is the viewing angles. No matter how much I adjust the screen, it feel like it's
not facing directly at me and hence forth distorting the colors.
Although the only moments when that really bothers me is when the websites I'm viewing have a white background (like amazon)

Other than that I really love this laptop. I love the long battery life and the feature to charge your phone from it
despite it being off. Also the battery is really quick to charge when plugged in.
It's a pretty nifty little laptop and I'm happy I choose it.

1.0 out of 5 stars POOR Sony Product
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2013

Common Sony, live up to your name.

The specs are great and feature is sleek, but the laptop runs poorly. It's extremely slow for an i5 running on 2.5GH. When streaming on youtube or Netflix, frames are choppy. (Keep in mind that I had no applications running except youtube or Netflix.) So I can't imagine running MS along with a web browser and music playing. The driver makes a starchy noise when starting up. I even called Sony tech to run diagnostic and found nothing wrong. I tried hard to avoid the hassle of returning this product, but when it came down to reality, I couldn't live with a slow processor / computer. I let the price full me and now I'm paying shipping fee to return the laptop. I purchased the laptop at $609.99 but 5 days later it dropped to $559.99, now it's up $90.00 from when I purchased the laptop. I'm not sure what Amazon is trying to do here, but this laptop isn't even worth the $13.00 shipping and handling.

If your considering to purchase this laptop, make sure your willing to deal with the consequences, or spend $13.00 as a shipping / return fee.

2.0 out of 5 stars SONY VAIO S Series - Please check the Operating System!! I can not use the laptop not even once
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
The laptop itself is very nice, however, the Operating System is either not properly setup by SONY and not tested by AMAZON prior to selling the product. As a result I can not use the laptop now, i bought in April 03, received thru courier on April 08, after some time I opened the laptop to start using it, it never worked, the Return and Exchange Policy of AMAZON expired on May 09.
So please tell me AMAZON Customer support, how am I gonna use your sold product, where I can bring this laptop for repair now, please don't leave me hanging for help in the air, I need to use this laptop- I hope for a miracle that I don't spend more than for repair than the cost of it when I bought in AMAZON.. I feel sad and very disappointed.

TECH GEEK AND VALUE-HOLIC'S REVIEW

I must admit that I spend half of my salary on latest gadgets though I do make sure that I don't overpay for anything (meaning I never waste money on overpriced products from a fruit named company and the likes).

When I saw this laptop at 550 dollars at amazon, I knew i just had to buy it because the valueholic living inside me would never forgive me

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'S
Excellent (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'S
Windows 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.
______________________________________________________________
Update 5:

I have gotten use to the screen bad viewing angles. The colours on the screen are quite good actually. The laptop did show "No operating system found" a couple of times after the incident, but for last two weeks it is working like a charm.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Update 6: (After Three Months)

Three months on, I have changed the review to 5 stars from four. That rarely happens with me as i grow tired of tech products but this laptop absolutely deserves it. The reason for change are:
1. Amazing battery life,
2. Very light and user friendly weight and dimensions
3. Very good speakers
4. Very reliable, after initial hiccups not a single problem
5. Absolutely excellent keyboard
6. And above all, three months of rough use and not a single scratch on magnesium body

An absolute must buy for its price specially if you want an optical drive.
