 Not a computer nerd | |
| I know nothing about mhz, ram or balh balh burning time. When I was looking for a lap top I told the sales person I just want a computer I can use to get online and check my emails and not get knock off.
The 1st lap top I owned a 2001 Hp pavilion (paid $2,200) when I put it on my lap to type it would burn my leg (it always had to be on table). I constantly got knock off line & if I ran more then one application the HP would lock up and the battier would die after 2hours of use, I really hated using it. With the Sony VAIO FS570 (which cost less) I am very happy with this notebook, when I put it on my lap to type it's Cold, and using the wireless Internet (I can use my lap top in any room in my house and I don't have to plug into a phone jack) is SO neat. And I had my notebook on for 6 (using power save mode) before needing to recharge and the screen is huge very eye pleasing when viewing 8x10 of family photos. And it hasn't lock up yet and being able to turn down the brightness on the screen in dark room with one touch is Easy!! I have no complaints about this computer at all. If your not a computer junky, and don't care about ram, burning time etc... and you just want a thin, cool looking, fun notebook you'll love this computer the power and speed is unbelievable!! | |
| Dell support, it aint | |
| Great piece of hardware and the best screen of its class on the market. What sucks is Sony support. They were useless in help with upgrading to XP Pro. Don't even bother with their online chat and first line of support, they just want to know if laptop is plugged in. They don't know anything about drivers, install files, configuration, etc. Finally I had to do this myself without any help from Sony. Boy, do I miss the Dell support. I purchased this laptop to develop code. The resolution and clarity of the screen makes it ideal programming tool. I wish Dell had a laptop with a quality screen like this. |
