About a year ago my mum brought a Sony Vaio Laptop from Curries, which was the one I was thinking of getting myself. Anyway when my mum got home with the laptop and opened it up she had noticed that the battery was missing. she went down to Curries and got the battery and for the inconvenience they gave her a free mouse. When my mum set the computer up she turned the computer on and started to find out whats what and then the computer just shut down by itself, This happened quite a few times during the first week she had it so she went down to Curries and told them she paid £1400 for a laptop computer and expected it to be all fine.
After speaking to the manager she got another Sony Vaio PCG-F701 laptop in exchange for the other one so we went home and finally had fun on the computer. A year later and the computer is starting to play up again, the screen goes black then flashes back to normal, I think she would of better been off with a normal desktop computer but she wanted a Sony Vaio as they are supposed to be really good. The laptop also goes really slow, it only has 500 MHz, 64 MB SDRAM and 9.0 GB Hard Disk Drive. The laptop has some good features though, You can buy memory sticks so you can put images from camera to laptop quicker and other cool things like that.I thought these Sony Laptops are supposed to last more than a year. If you want to buy a Sony Laptop, I would recommend you buy a faster computer than this and get insurance on it as you will need it.
I would just like to say the battery is not good, they only last about 1 and a 1/2 hours so they are rubbish if you want to take it out and about. So If you are going to buy this one then only take it on short journeys or buy some more batteries. Oh there is one more thing, the picture that Ciao have put for this is incorrect, this is not a handheld laptop, it is much bigger.
