 Best bargain available? September 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Sony VAIO VGN-NR270N/S does not come with many of the fancy things laptops bring today (no integrated camera, bluetooth, etc), so it won't be appealing to many. But it is the only way to have an incredible Intel Core 2 Duo Processor if you only have 600$. If you install 4 gb ram for another 100$, you have right there a top pc for the years to come without spending a fortune.
A big plus: wow, sony screens are the best
A big minus: It really has an awful amount of crapware loaded, as other reviews say. So do not hope to be enjoying the first day, you will spend it with the remove programs utility.
 Great value laptop July 28, 2008
The set up was easy and the laptop video display is very crisp. This unit may not be the best choice for those wanting the top of the line performance and features, but it does provide a great value for performance ratio for anyone who needs a laptop for everyday use.
Great computer once you take off half the built-in software. July 13, 2008
Great computer at a very reasonable price. It took me a couple of days to erase everything that came 'stock' and replace it with software that worked and didn't look like a bad video-game. Everything was a 'free-trial' that would eventually quit and try to get you to buy it. Great computer polluted with garbage! Resolution is awesome. Sets up wireless network connection really easily.
Great Value! May 26, 2008
Before writing a review, It is very important to keep in mind how much are you paying for a Laptop and your expectations should be based on that fact. I bought mine for $599 and I wasn't expecting the fastest or the lightest laptop in the market, I was expecting a Laptop with the essentials for my everyday needs. This Laptop by far exceeded my expectations, The display is amazing, movies and pictures look great in this computer. The overall performance is decent, I strongly recommend to increase the RAM to 2 Gb, this will make the windows vista to run faster and will make a drastic improvement in performance.
The case of this notebook is solid and scratch resistant, this baby weights around 6 pounds and is not difficult to carry around. The battery last approximately 2.45 hrs depending on the application audio and video will demand more power.
The Wi-Fi works smooth and with very good range, at the Kennedy airport I had better signal strength that other more expensive laptops. The DVD burner works pretty good also, I can burn a full DVD in less than 3 minutes.
The feature that I like most from this computer is its beauty, this is a laptop that will turn heads and eyes over you and everyone would think that you have paid a lot more money.
Bottom line, If you are looking for a great Value and for you the looks are important this is an excellent choice, however if you expect a $600 laptop to perform like a $2,000 buy something else.
Love it, but run a crapware device! May 23, 2008
Great product - the screen is amazing, plenty fast, plenty powerful. I was also afraid of vista, but it's been better than I thought it would (I've been running Ultimate, though). Keyboard comfortable, sounds just fine (but I'm no audiophile). It does come with a crapload of crapware,however! I would recommend running a decrapifier on it before you do anything else, which takes some time. I also upgraded to 2GB RAM, also recommended for the operating system. but for the price, this can't be beat...although I think the $600 I paid for it on amazon is no longer available...too bad.
Also, note the absence of a PCMIA card slot (there is a card slot, but it's something else), and the wireless b/g access doesn't include the new standard "n" access, which I think could become a problem in the next few years.
