Sony VAIO VGN-NW150J/S 15.5-Inch Laptop - Silver

I have owned this computer for 7 months now. At first, the space bar just stopped working. After a whole lot of time on the phone with support, they finally sent someone to come and fix the issue. Now it has issues with the touchpad, where it becomes unresponsive. Once again, I have spent hours on the phone with support (and I have SUCH a hard time with their asian accent!) re-installing drivers and now they refuse to send someone to fix the hardware issue until I completely reformat the machine. If the problem persists they will do something about it.

So, long story short, if I could do this all over again I would have purchased this computer from a store with the breakage protection, so I would not have to rely on their phone costumer service.

Also, be aware this also does not have built-in bluetooth :(

Like everyone else, I liked the computer until the mousepad went nuts. The pad works when it wants too but left click button is completly out which is a real pain. The only thing Sony support will tell you is to down load latest version of mousepad driver which of course does not work. Pretty bad when Sony clearly nows there is a problem with these pads but they will not admit it. Going back to HP.

This computer had good reviews at the time of purchase. The computer is lightweight, has a fairly decent keypad, and the screen with Blu-Ray DVD is very nice for watching videos. But I have had continous ongoing problems with wifi connection in airports, coffee houses, and have given up taking the computer out of the house for this purpose (unwilling to go yet one more round with Sony support), and just yesterday the touchpad quit. Read many postings on touchpad problems with the Sony Vaio and this seems to be a consistent problem with a consistently poor response from Sony. There are many other choices for laptops that don't have these kinds of issues.

I have had this computer for 8 months. It is now in the shop for its third Hard drive. Now I know Sony is not to blame for a bad hard drive but it is very difficult to have to start everything over every month or so. When the computer works I love it. I love the HDMI output and blu ray player.

I also have a terrible time with the touchpad. But mine acts up every few minutes. It will stop responding to my finger and start doing its own thing. Since my computer is in the shop again I brought this item up to them again. Finally they think it might be a bad mother board causing all of my issues.

Overall when it works I love it. Since it hasn't worked correctly for the past three plus months I am ready to sell it and buy a Mac.

I just bought this computer new and wanted to comment on the battery life of this computer since it really disappointed me. It says up to 5.5 hours but in never exceeds 2 hours even without wireless. I advice Amazon.com to correct their description in order not to mislead people. Thanks
