Sony VAIO T Series SVT14127CXS 14-Inch Discounts

Andrew K. McIntosh (USA) :
I am an engineering student and bought this computer for college next year. I have had positive experiences with Sony products in the past and was hoping for good results with this one. I should have heeded the two other reviews on here warning of wifi issues, because I had the same problem. Out of the box, the wifi worked for about an hour, then stopped working. I updated drivers to no avail, and even re-imaged the hard drive to try to fix this. No matter what I tried, the wifi would continue to drop out after a minute of connection. Perhaps if I spent another two weeks looking for a fix as another reviewer did I might have eventually found an answer. However, it's up to you whether you want to preserve your sanity looking for a solution. I have since returned this computer and am typing this from an ASUS S400ca DB51t, which is running without any hitches so far.

Seiji Hayashi (Hyattsville, MD) :
Aside from the horrible Windows 8, the computer functions pretty well (speed, stability, functions). I tried Skype and the camera did not work. After spending 2 hours on the phone with customer service, they asked me to ship the computer back to Sony. They fixed the camera, but the shocker was how poor the camera quality was. The maximum resolution is 1.0 megapixel. This means it's a grainy picture with poor color and lighting. I should have looked at the specs better before buying, but I assumed that Sony would not have this type of issue. It's all over the internet how poor the webcam quality is. In today's world, a webcam is essential. I would not buy this again.

Wanhsing Lin (MA) :
My image of Sony products is very positive and pricy. My daughter loves the looking of this Sony laptop although there are reviews mentioned WiFI issue on this model. so we go ahead to buy this laptop and hope we are not the 50% of unlucky buyers to get a laptop with bad WIFI. In the first day, WIFI sometime worked, But most of time it did not work. In the second day, WIFI did not work. Return this unit and plan to buy other brand.

David R Hunsaker (USA) :
This computer has ONE major flaw......it loses internet availability all the time. The computer itself is fantastic but when it drops your internet feed every 15 minutes it becomes worthless. Do not order.....from what I know now is that most if not all Sony computers have this issue. Can't believe Sony would let something like this happen and not fix before releasing it to the public.

B. Scollon (Rochester Hills, Michigan USA) :
I Love the color and the huge hard drive. Unfortunately, it is quite heavy but I do like the built in DVD drive and that's the necessary trade-off.
Although I've worked with computers for 30 years, I am confused by Windows 8. To get to the things I've used in other operating systems takes extra steps. I've heard an update is due out soon and I'm hoping that will help.

Jadmo99 "Mo B" (CA) :
I just had to have a pink computer. I built one on the Sony site but I found the one on Amazon was a better deal. I've only been using it for a few weeks and I like. No real complaints other than I'm still trying to get use to mouse-pad area. Sometimes, I get frustrated and just use the touchscreen; and the only issue with the touchscreen are the fingerprints.

john (California, USA) :
I bought this vaio brand last year and after 4 mths, I got the fan noise problem. It is really heavy noise that it irritates me alot. I am a computer science student who chose Vaio over Mac and I have alot of Sony products with me. But this one is a disaster. I even took the laptop to a Sony tech to have the fan changed, but it did not solve the noise and overheating problem. very disappointing.

Cynthia A. Mederos (Lake Worth, Florida USA) :
When I got the first one, there was a problem with the dvd drive. (Not loading programs, returned). Got the second one and there was a problem with the Battery/charger.. It was plugged in but the battery status said plugged, not charging. The percentage was at 50% and not going up.) decided had enough and returned to Amazon for refund. The laptop has nice qualities but the hardware issues were dissapointing.

L. Alarcon "Kdizzle" (California) :
This is laptop has been a headache for me since the day I bought it. I wanted to returned it but they wanted to charge me 15% to do so. This was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to call Sony Customer service which is the worst in the world like a 100 times. It was first with problems with the hardware and then with overheating problems.
Today, 16 months later after I bought it. The computer's click bottons on the mouse pad do not work and so dont other sofwares programs on the computer.
Please do yourself a favor and do not spend a cent on this computer.

Dhananjay Atre (USA) :
This is very good quality laptop. It boots pretty fast and is quite responsive also. However it is a bit too noisy. The noise is continuous and is irritating particularly in silent surroundings. That also makes it sound like a poor quality laptop. The keyboard and touch pad are very nice. I am dissatisfied only due to the noise. I read a similar complaint about the noise in a higher end sony vaio ultrabook which is in the price range of $1100. Such an issue is not expected from sony.

Alicia (Boston) :
I've only had this laptop for a week, but so far I'm in love! I've never had a Sony laptop before, but heard they were great. This one is the perfect size for me to take traveling, or just using it at home. One thing I will suggest is getting a keyboard skin or cover for it. White keyboards have been known to get pretty nasty after a little while! Just a suggestion :) It's very fast and has great resolution.

Robert Richardson "Spargel" (TN) :
Sorry AMD dual core, weak graphics and limited RAM along with thoroughly poor Win 8 make this combo stink to high heaven. I have had cell phone perform better than this thing and the BIOS is blocked so you cannot remove the utterly useless Win 8 and use Win 7 or Linux. Paperweight class of computing...

Diane (USA) :
I just received this laptop today, and I am blown away at how amazing it truly is. This computer runs very quickly and the keyboard and trackpad are great. I'm not the biggest fan of windows 8, but after playing around with it for a few minutes, you get used to it. This laptop is just the right for a college student or someone who wants another portable computer for everyday use. The backlit keyboard is great if you want to use this computer late at night but don't want to turn on another light in the room to see. Overall, this computer runs smoothly and seems to be great quality for a low price. I would highly, highly recommend this computer for regular tasks!

waMom (NY) :
This computer is not only adorable it is speedy and very functional. This is my second VAIO and I swear by them. You will not find something more reliable especially not for this price. It is perfect for watching movies, surfing the net, and storing music/books etc. If you are a gamer obviously you will need a bit more than what this pc can offer but for everyday uses, this is really just the absolute best computer!

Adam (MA) :
I bough this laptop as gift for my cousin, i tough new windows will be cool, but its not. Its way to complicated, slows the laptop down and it take for ever to set up all the accounts. Vaio it self is nice product but not with that junkie windows!!!!!

Lauren (MA) :
I've only had this laptop for a couple of days, but so far, I'm pleased. Windows 8 was a bit of a challenge to navigate, and unfortunately the laptop comes preloaded with a lot of unnecessary add-ons that are time-consuming to remove, but that's pretty standard for any laptop. It runs quietly, does not get hot even after several hours of continuous use, is quick in terms of surfing the internet, and does a nice job streaming videos via Netflix, although the video quality is not impressive. The built-in camera is convenient and useful, but the resolution is low, so keep that in mind if a clear, high-quality webcam is important to you.

J. Booth (Iowa) :
Loved it at first, except for Windows 8 when I first received it, but I knew the Vaio was loaded with it when I ordered it. It took a while to get the laptop updated and running the way I wanted, but I had settled into a familiarity with it when about 3 weeks into use it started putting out a strong burning odor. I shut it down for a while and restarted it later in the day. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. It appeared to be operating alright. 2 days later after using it for a short time it would not start back up after taking a lunch break. It would try to boot up, then it would give a disk read error message and say it would attempt to fix it and that it could take a while. It never would repair itself, just showed a black screen. I don't know what happened.. Maybe I received a lemon. Amazon just sent a replacement. I'll update as time goes by.

Shadrach Tavares (USA):
I Purchased this laptop and it arrived with no issues. However 2 weeks into what i would term as medium to light medium SAFE use. I began getting these blue screens saying your pc has ran into problems collecting data. And it would restart. Upon restarting it would say no operating system found. So I would turn off and turn on again and after about 3 turn ons it would restart and boot (sometimes into recovery/repair mode). Now one occurrence can be over looked. But this began to happen more frequently. I tried refreshing the pc. Reinstalling windows from the windows 8 options. Nothing worked. Now its completely nuked and wont turn on. Where and how can i get this problem solved?
