## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ Poor build quality, warranty not honoured by Sony.
*by A***R on 9 February 2011*

Having been the happy owner of two Sony laptops previously I was very disappointed with the build quality of this new machine. The power jack (the bit where the power lead plugs into he computer) broke after 2 months and Sony refused to fix it, despite being well within the 12 month warranty period. They claimed it was due to wear and tear, however the laptop has been stationary since initial set up. I noted that on the Sony Vaio forums this seems to be a common fault with the new generation of Sony laptops. It appears Sony are using cheaper parts which are flimsy in comparison to the robust machines of two years ago. I paid £135 to have it repaired by an independent laptop repair company who said they'd had lots of the new Sony laptops in recently with failed power jacks.The other issue I had was that the buffer bits around the screen (the little bits of rubber that protect the screen when closing) left noticeable dents in the keyboard casing.Finally, the machine makes an awful high pitched whining noise that really distracts while working.The machine itself has a great spec but I'm annoyed that A) I paid a premium for a quality brand that has failed to deliver a quality build and B) The aftersales service from Sony is atrocious - It took me three calls to get through, then the operator couldn't help because of a technical difficulty with the phone system - Then they refused to fix a 2 month old machine with what appears to be a common fault.Doubt I'll be buying a Sony in the future unless they can reassure me that they've dealt with the inferior build/service issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great machine spoiled by constant noisy fan
*by C***R on 4 December 2011*

This is a well specced machine which I use for Web Development and photo editing.It has a great screen and the core i7 and 6Gb ram ensure plenty of power, but the damn thing is like a little oven, always running hot and the noisy fan is on 90% of the time.After 2 dell laptops, this is my first, and probably my last vaio laptop.Sorry Sony, but for over a grand, i expected better than this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sony Laptop
*by E***N on 12 September 2010*

Great laptop! I mainly use it for running VM's and 3D design applications.The Core i7 740QM with 6GB Ram and a Geforce GT 330M graphics adapter delivers all the performance I need.The Full HD screen is excellent quality once calibrated.The built in speaker sound quality is good for a laptop. When connected to an external surround sound decoder via the optical out the sound quality is excellent.The spacing between each key on the keyboard took a few days to get used to, other than that it has been plane sailing.A great powerful laptop, recommended.
