Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The VAIO A-Series includes both consumer and professional models, but all share the highly distinctive design, which underpins the A-Series' unique style. The A-Series' aesthetic advantages are built on solid foundations. All models are performance-boosted by Intel's Pentium M processors, and both consumer and professional ranges will feature machines based on the new Pentium M 735/745 engineered to deliver the best mobile performance yet. What's more, every A-Series notebook bears the Intel Centrino certification. This means the latest mobile-optimized technology, yielding more power and longer battery life. Users can also rely on the fact that the wireless networking built into Centrino systems has been tested for compatibility with wireless networks all over the world. All A-Series notebooks support the new, high-speed wireless standard which operates up to five times faster than the original while remaining fully backwardly compatible with existing networks (802.11g).

- A great desktop replacement
I am motivated to respond with some more thoughts on this laptop. I have owned mine for well over a year. I didn't intend it this way, but it seems I bought it when they were first released. My laptop has been absolutely reliable. As President of my corporation, I use it a minimum 10 hours a day. And have been for the whole time I've owned it. Not once has it required any repair.

About hard drives: it seems that Sony received a batch of bad hard drives from a vendor, as I've seen many ... Read More

- Great laptop!
I purchased this laptop about 6 months ago and it has been awesome! I have been very happy with the performance and the battery life. Fortunately I have not had any problems with it as some of the other comments mentioned.

- Very bad
Much like the other people reviewing here I had problems with the harddrive. Well my GF did since I bought this laptop for her. At first it made a lot of clicking sounds. Really annoying. Then it went dead. Bought it from compusa and took it back. They gave me another one. Same crap. The dvd burner did not work in either of them as well. Same problem in both. They should do a recal and give people their money back. Very poor for such a high rated company. I have a Sony FS now, and it gives ... Read More

- Defective Hard Drive
I purchased the model of this computer with a 60G drive July, and on December 5th the hard drive broke. It will not mount and makes grinding and clattering noises. I have lost data. This is not a quality product. I am now returning it to Sony (event#E26545346). I thought Sony made quality products and I paid a premium for their notebook compared to other notebooks and look at what I get. I am very unhappy. I wonder if this is more than just an isolated incident. I will never buy a Sony product again and ... Read More

- A $2000 piece of junk
I purchased this computer in September and have already had numerous problems with it. After owning it for a few weeks, it started acting up. Everytime I turned it own, it would go into a loop and just keep rebooting itself. I called support (the person was very rude) and he told me it sounded like I had a virus - even though I have Norton Anti-virus and Zone Alarm Pro for a firewall. After spending an hour with the rude support person, we managed to get it to start acting right again. He then proceeded ... Read More
