    My wife & I bought this laptop from Amazon on November 4 to replace a 10 year old Thinkpad & supplement another 2 year old SONY laptop we own. We are very pleased with the new laptop. It is attractive, easily portable despite its screen size, & appears to have been manufactured with high quality parts & standards, We use it primarily for internet search & email, & are pleased with its speed & ease of use. We have not found Windows 7 to be the great leap forward that most seem to believe, but that is probably because we don’t use many of its features……..We have rated the new laptop only 3 stars because we believe that many who buy a SONY [at a premium price] expect more in the way of after-the-sale service than they would from most other brands. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience. Recently, our 2 year old SONY laptop suddenly developed wide white lines on its screen which made it unuseable. Although the warranty had expired, we thought it was reasonable to ask SONY if it would help with repairs, particularly after learning that other owners had experienced similar problems. After a series of exasperating & unproductive emails with SONY service, I finally wrote to SONY’s CEO. The employee who responded agreed to pay a portion of our $365 repair cost for a replacement screen installed by a local computer shop. That was more than a month ago. We have never received the payment, and our repeated followup inquiries by email, fax & phone have gone unanswered…….We decided to buy the new SONY laptop only after SONY agreed to share our repair costs on the old laptop. Needless to say, had we known that SONY would not follow through on its word, we would not have done so.

    Bought this laptop 1 month ago, cant complain about it. Config is awesome, nice processor, good for multitasking, 500gb hd is great, and the video card(main reason i choose this laptop) runs modern warfare 2 on high, with no lags. The laptop looks great, and the keyboard(which is a copy of the on in the macbook) is way better than the regular ones.

    Pros: nice HD, great video card, good keyboard, nice av controls.

    Cons: No blueray(not an issue for me).

    I had a prior Sony NW 250 from 2 years ago and decided on a new VAIO and did a lot of research. This is a very solid laptop. Love the Screen, I originally bought the other Sony because of the screen quality and so that was the most important thing to me. This screen is amazing. It is bright (not sure about the person that rated it as dull I know that other versions of this FW line (530 and above are much less bright but the 510 is exceptionally bright). I also like the larger hard drive and chip set. Although you will have to uninstall the crap ware that comes from Sony and update the start-up to get it to be fast at startup.

    The speakers are great for a laptop much better then my last Sony. The keyboard is awesome just like an Apple laptop. Highly recommended for the 510 version of the FW line. I would definitely look at other models of this line before buying because the screen is not as good on the higher numbered models (530-and up of the FW line). But at this price point and specs it is a great deal. And it has good trade-in value on Gazelle as well.

    My last Sony got over $300 at trade in that I used toward this one. Something else to consider.
