BEWARE - My VAIO VGN is just over 12 months old. The battery lasts a whopping 20 mins and the keyboard has keys that dont work, namely 2@, 4$, 0), rR, yY, uU and caps lock. Sony refuse to accept responsibility. But if I pay$300 for a new battery, $200 for a new keyboard, + courier costs and$100/hr to fit, they may consider(only) whether I can be compensated. Sony has not been helpful at all. This is a cheap$200 Chinese laptop badged for Sony and sold for$2000+. DO NOT consider buying without extended warranty with Concierge service which includes cost of renting replacement computer while waiting 6 months for replacement parts. Also beware that the cost of the extended warranty is only for computer and does not include the accessories added to your purchase. Eg.$1500 -$2500 should be$119 for 5 year maximum extended warranty. Do your homework.
It is so fstating to *se a compte* that has missing kes. This laptop is *eall not woth the + dollas I paid.(Fill in the missing letters, symbols & numbers. This is what you get without copy and paste).
NO sony backup. Painted surfaces at palm rest wears within a few months. Parts not readily available. Battery lasted just beyond warranty. Keyboard lasted just beyond warranty
