    General comments:
    I've owned and used 2 of these Sony VAIO VGN-B1XP laptops for last 3 years, they have been used by several of my team. Never had a problem with them. Excellent value laptops at the time when they were new. Spec is low compared with new laptops today - but thats to be expected. Screen is very good in terms of resolution and crispness, but not bright enough sometimes.

    I've been aroun two of these Sony Vaios for about 4 years. No problems at all although short battery, not very powerfull features and output interfaces, defenitively a tool for the job. Not a powerfull gaming machine, obviously.

    I have owned this Sony Vaio B1XP Laptop for a year and I don't recognize those problems. I have had some problems with crackling sounds coming out of the speakers but they repaired it within a very short time. I also got a new LCD-screen but that was not a necessary repair.

    I got this Sony Vaio B1XP from Ebay the first owner said there was little trouble with the laptop. Some times crash's rarely 2 weeks later more crash's in between Internet Explorer and playing some games from keyboard heats up like mad and shuts down. I know this hasn't got anything to do with the first owner. I have the receipt and we spoke most times he had it for 5 months I'm sure it's the motherboard. Cheap and nasty boards Sony put in them. That's all out of my hands now shame though this ...

    Look at the internet, people are trying to get a class action against this company. Lots of people have had the same problems with the Sony Vaio B1XP laptop. THe memory chips just pack up and you are left with a blank screen.
    DO NOT BUY!
