Sony VAIO VGN-FE880EH 15.4-inch Laptop

this is the one that i want, slim and lightweight with the best performance

I bought this laptop a year back... it was too good in performance and clarity. No doubt it is sony product... My CD drive started giving issue... not able to write anything, but working fine if I am trying to watch any movie. I contacted Sony CustomerCare and they are asking me to pay $300 to replace the Drive. I checked the internet, there are lot of people complaining about the Drive... but sony not accepting the "fault" in the Drive... THINK BEFORE BUY!!!

I bought this laptop off-the-shelf when my old laptop's hinges broke. I'm an IT guy - I have used lots of laptops, by lots of manufacturers, and this is hands-down the worst I've encountered. Contrary to what some reviewers have said, Sony's were not the most expensive laptops; in fact, I talked myself into buying this one based largely on the price. That was a mistake, for the reasons that follow. Pros: - Was available off the shelf with reasonable specs - Uses mostly decent hardware - Integrated webcam - Quick setup out-of-the-box - Reasonably impressive specs (but comes with Vista, which undoes much of that value) Cons: - Keyboard is flaky (one of my keys died after a year, others have problems and are dying, and nearly half of them have popped off randomly at least once) - Mouse pad is flaky (often stops responding for a couple minutes) - WiFi card crashes a lot (will refuse to turn on; will turn on but not find any networks when I am right next to a router; will f...

I have had this notebook for over a year; the thing is bullet-proof. I have dropped it which required replacing the harddrive, which I did myself, but it fired right back up. I couldn't be happier in spite of this mishap. This Sony has an awesome display. Also, I have noticed that the Sony notebooks come with so many outstanding standard Sony-exclusive programs (which I actually use, and that would have cost me $100s extra if I bought them). When the Sony was down I bought a Dell 1425 which is very good also. They beat the heck out of my Toshiba I use for work. Sony and Dell are tools; all others I have used are flimsy toys. Pay the money, and buy Sony. You won't regret it.

I don't know if it is the crippling Windows Vista or the Sony Vaio hardware (despite it's high specs), but this is a VERY slow computer and it gets worse as you use it. Sometimes it takes minutes for applications to operate... they run on "not working" mode with that stupid circle.... and I got a bonus... windows vista stopped working and it won't start now. And bingo, Vaio doesn't provide you with any recovery CD... and the recovery software doesn't work at all... really that's just a joke. That's why I bought a mac book and am happy to jump out of Microsoft's tests on us. I refuse to be a lab rat... and Sony... well, also a brand that seems to belong to the past. No service, low quality. Too bad.
