Nice Notebook
This is a nice notebook computer. Vista runs slow. Amazes me how much software I presentily own that won’t work with Vista. Contacted Sony about replacing Vista with XP Home and got a “no” answer. Drivers for the computer are Vista only. Like I said, happy with the Sony Vaio but Vista can take a hike.

Slow Vista
It’s great with price and spec…but disappointed of slowly run Vista….too bad for owning vista.

A lot of value for the price, says a Mac user
Ok, so I had to hold my nose when buying a Windows machine. But as a secondary system, this SONY nVGN365e is a pretty good deal. Outstanding screen display and an elegant simplicity to the keyboard area that gives it a clean look, no gizmo’s and BS. I have looked at tons of laptops, and most are cheap looking and cheesy…someone’s tacky idea of impressing a user. Not this one. In fact, its exterior styling seems nabbed from the Mac Book Pro.

I’m primarily a Mac user with an iMac desktop as my main machine. I wanted a laptop as a secondary, but found the Mac Book - while very cool- to be too small for my hands and typing habits, and the Mac Book Pro, well, it’s simply more than I want to spend. I shopped for three months until buying this SONY during a Labor Day markdown. (I have since seen the same one marked even lower).

I did the usual junkware uninstall day one. There wasn’t an overload, but enough to slow things down. Speed seems fine with 1 GB, but I may double it. No heat issues, and it’s quieter than quiet. Only the touchpad makes racket, but I’m old school and a habitual mouse user anyway.

I do most of my work in Word and otherwise am on the Internet. For documents, I write using MS-Works, then xfer the file over to the iMac desktop (which has MS-Office for Mac) for finalization. A kind of reversal in machine roles, in this era of Apple dusting Mr. Softie.

How Vista goes, and how the machine behaves over time…can’t say. If I have any concern, it would be security….every Windows machine I’ve owned has been vulnerable and subject to trash-out. They say the security is

better now. We’ll see. Overall, a good buy…a 4 rather than 5 because it’s a MS product.

Excellent !!!
I bought it like 2 months ago and I’ve been using it and it just works great, the 2.0 GHZ processor is awsome, really fast, and the dvd/cd burner and the 120 gb are great too !! the monitor size is perfect and really cool graphics, really recommend buying it , the prize is worth it.
