The Intel Centrino processor works fine. I have no complaints although, of course, at 1.5 GHz it's not the fastest processor out there. It works fine for me, though. The RAM I added to have the laptop be able to use a full gigabyte of RAM has not interfered with hibernation, as another reviewer experienced. The case DOES scratch easily; and the sound is fair. I use earphones that let me increase the sound beyond what the computer is capable of producing; and that's an obvious plus. The keyboard is much tighter and smaller than a desktop keyboard and this took some getting used to. I wound up buying a mouse to avoid that pad upon which you slide your finger to control the cursor and mouse pointer on the screen. You will need a special cleaner to wash the screen--this screen is not made of glass but fortunately the cleaning products are relatively affordable. In addition, I really like that this comes with a combination CDRW--DVD drive. I have often used this to watch movies while I travel or lie in bed just lazing around on a Sunday afternoon. The drive works very well and there are no software issues so far for me. As Amazon notes, you get Norton anti-virus software and Microsoft Works with this and all this and more runs on the Windows XP Home Edition operating system, which is fine with me. There are ports and more to make this laptop exactly the way you personally want it to be. Excellent! Overall, this laptop is very solid. Sure, the smaller keyboard took some getting used to; but that came in time. This little computer's got a lot of life in it; and I think you'll be able to make good use of it. If you still have any questions, you can download the product manual from this website or you can also read the product description above. The other reviews are well done, too. 4 Today Junk and More More - For Fred Sanford's Backyard I am an IT Person for a midsized company. Back In 2002 I decided to buy about 12 of these PCG V505's. They have been the unmitigated bane of my existence for almost 5 years. As you can see by other reviews the hard drives (which are made by toshiba ) go bad. That is the least of the troubles. The biggest problem with these units is the pcmcia slot that is almost guaranteed to go bad- especially using 32 bit Verizon cards. Of the 12 we bought 8 of them within as little as a year had bad slots which make them unusable for portable use- as the slot doesn't work. I found a company called Elan Digital systems that sold me 5 PCM to USB card converters that, with some tweaking can get you back on line- but for the $249.00 I'm not sure if its worth it. Also the keybaords have flimsy keys which have very often broken off,save for the fact that I have a few on the junkpile to pick from, a new keybaord is $95 from which you must carefully pick off the bad keys and replace your keyboard. In addition, SONY in all its brilliance, designed the spare RAM chip slot so that its too close to the back and is not always fully protected fron Static electricity. Of course you'll find this out after sitting the laptop on staticy pants or A Hotel Bedspread and shortly thereafter the computer locks up. This again has happened with at least 6 of 12 computers we own. New Chips at sometimes 100.00 a pop add up quickly. I haven't even mentioned the clueless people at SONY who claim they know nothing about BAD PCM slots and of which there is no mention of the problem on the search part of their tech support. All in all everyone who thinks this these are great beacuse of size and weight well, take my advice: think twice. They are and have been my nightmare and truly the happiest day of my life will be when the last one hits the scrap heap. Try Averatec's 2150 half the price and non of the BS with SONY. 1 Today Yep, Hard Drive Died...beware Have been pretty happy with this for two years -- lightweight, reasonable performance. I take it with me everywhere. Hard drive gave signs of dying, and finally gave up the ghost this week. I would probably give this three stars because it gave me a relatively useful life, but the Sony support has been very poor. Review sites like this make it clear that hard drive failures are common for this product, but Sony buries and obscures hard drive assistance online. Frustrating. 2 Today Hard drive, sound card, CDRW/DVD drive failures... Purchased for my wife about 2.5 years ago. Not a bad little computer--save for about one year after purchasing the speakers quit working--which Sony fixed quickly as it was still under warranty. Then about 6 months ago the DVD combo-drive began to fail. Most recently, (two weeks ago) the hard drive has failed completely. (with some warning, but I was unable to back up some of the data before complete failure) Bottom line: Wife loved the computer--it was light, small, and had great battery life. However, ours had its share of problems and there are many people who seem to have similar problems with hard drive. 2 Today Nice, but... I can't complain too much, as I got this computer two years ago for around $1400 on sale, which seems to be less than most paid. Mostly it's been a great computer, long battery life, and the screen is still in great shape after 2 years. I haven't had any problems with the case scuffing, and I just use a normal laptop bag to carry it around. However, the hard drive did fail right at 15 months. In my case it was the read heads (which seems to be the common failure mode), but the problem was slow enough to develop I had time to move all of my data off the drive before it completely died. I just recently replaced it with a relatively cheap 80GB 5400 RPM drive and everything works great, plus it runs faster than it ever did with the original 4200 RPM drive that was installed. If you get this computer, do yourself a favor and replace the HD with a 5400 RPM drive, it makes what's already (still) a good computer even a little better. 3 Today Sony Vaio Never More I bought this notebook two years before. This is the time your hard drive will last. I know five other people that has had the same problem. If you are paying more for a Sony Vaio thinking that you are buying a better product, be cautious. 1 Today My Hard Drive died after 15 Months Do not buy this sony laptop. It has a sleek design and stylish look but does not have a lot of features and also beware of your hard drive as it dies in little over an year. Sony support sucks and they wont even let me know about the nearest sony support center until they bill me for the time I spoke to their support guy. Their support is also very expensive. Thank god I did not need to spend $750(as per their website) and send my laptop and wait until they fix it, as I got it replaced the hard drive which I bought online for less than $300. Very bad experience with the laptop and their support. My friends who bought Dell and Toshiba for $1300's (cheap when compare with what I spend $2000) around the same time I bought this Sony viao are using them without any problems and good features and great support. On an overall I am not buying any Sony laptop in future. 2 Today Like others my disc died after 15 months... I have the EXP model, which is the same as this model except with Windows XP. I bought it in April 2004, and it failed in July 2005. The hard disc crashed, the machine started up once or twice in SAFE recovery and then would not start, and it said that the "config" file was corrupt. I have automatic update on my firewall and virus and Windows so I am sure that it was not a virus. Beside, when you read so many other stories about disc crashes and unreliability with SONY VAIOs then you know that you made a mistake with this company. The support centre was worse than useless and when pushed refered me to an "authorised" dealer who quoted me twice what another city-based data recovery firm eventually charged me to recover the disc. Based upon my experience and what I now see is common with others I would never buy another Sony laptop. 1 Today It may not have have problems now... I've had this Sony Vaio since March of 2004 to replace an older laptop and I had absolutely no mechanical problems with it until this week (July 2005) when the hard drive died suddenly and without warning. Luckily I had purchased an extended warranty when I bought it but I won't get my laptop back for 2 to 3 weeks. Hard drives should not die after one year of use. When I brought it in for repair the guy who was helping me said that the hard drive on his Vaio, which was also about a year old, had just died too. the girl in line next to me was also having her Vaio worked on...I guess I'm just saying watch out, it may seem like a really good idea now but these things seem to have their problems right after the manufacturer's warranty has ended. I'm really gentle with my laptop and I've never mistreated it or dropped it or anything like that. I even yell at people when they close the lid too hard. in response to other comments made: The case DOES scratch easily; I had placed it into a laptop bag and something else in the bag had gouged a really deep scratch onto the top. 4 Today Decent and stylish but not very hardy! I got my vaio about a year back to replace an aging desktop. In about 6 months, a couple of keys came off but sony support replaced those immediately. I'e had some problems wiht the operating system- for instance, internet explorer will not show some images on websites. Its irritating (is it SP2? I dont know). ALso, the beautiful case gets scratched easily adn the screen seems very delicate- I dont carry it around too much and I am afraid to. But otherwise it is a great little machine which I can take around and use anywhere in the house. Very pretty, very smart only thing is needs more strength. 3 Today View Product Prices  We thought you might be interested in other BEST DEALS that we found for you: Monitors NEC/MITSUBISHI-XD430U in Monitors XD430U PROJ DLP XGA 2500 ANSI 2000:1 5.7LBS 6 Listings Best Price $978.58 Save up to 30% Memory KINGSTON-KTC3288/2048 in Memory KINGSTON 2048MB KIT DIMM ECC 100MHZ Z COMPAQ P 6 Listings Best Price $637.39 Save up to 40% KINGSTON-KTS9251/4G in Memory 4GB Kit Sun Fire V20Z 4GB Kit Sun Fire V20Z 5 Listings Best Price $597.33 Save up to 33% Printers HEWLETT PACKARD-C8547A in Printers HP ColorLaserJet 9500hdn Printers - Laser & LED (color) 5 Listings Best Price $7,303.32 Save up to 35% Data Storage WESTERN DIGITAL-WDXMS1600TN in Hard Drives 160GB 5400RPM USB2.0; 12ms seek; Passport 2.5inch 9 Listings Best Price $92.65 Save up to 45% HEWLETT PACKARD-347708-B22 in Hard Drives 146GB 15K U320 SCSI UNIVERSAL HARD DRIVE 4 Listings Best Price $509.98 Save up to 27% Accessories BELKIN COMPONENTS-AV52300-16 in Cables and Adapters 16FT HDMI TO HMDI CABLE 16FT HDMI TO HMDI CABLE 9 Listings Best Price $52.99 Save up to 67% CANON-0211B001 in Printer, Scanner, Fax Accessories Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip for EOS Digital Rebel XT Camera 6 Listings Best Price $129.80 Save up to 43% All Best Deals *Pricing and product information listed is obtained from the merchants and is subject to change without notice.
