 philpot's recommendation | |
Display very clear
Keyboard has responsive feel
Battery life over 2 hours
Severe overheating fault which can lead to fire
On Off switch as well as DVD buttons need thumbnail to work!
This computer has the feel of quality, it is lightweight and the wireless range is truly excellent - almost double my other laptop with aerial in the screen. But (and I know that you shouldn't start a sentence with an injunction but I want this point to stand out) there is a severe problem caused by the processor cooling system overheating. When it does the system sometimes fails to go to standby and the computer gets hot enough to boil eggs (or burn your legs!). Fires have been reported and I can quite believe this. I have just written a 22 month old Vaio off - the motherboard was blackened and carbonised!
Sony must address this problem but this isn't the motor industry so don't expect a recall!
