4.0 out of 5 stars Great! Except...
The machine is fast, light and small. The keyboard works, but the mousepad has some problems. First of all, it is automatically programmed to have all these functions that they don't tell you about. Such as, to exit something you have to tap in the corner of the pad. Well, because they don't tell you about that, you could be typing an email and oops! it's gone. Even...

3.0 out of 5 stars problem with mouse pad and keyboard
I own this unit for 2 months. I also have the problem with mouse pad and keyboard. It usually start clicking itself. I have to use the external mouse instead. The cursor jumps during I am typing sometimes. Otherwise, this is a good laptop to work with according to the acceptable quality of monitor, performance, light weight, and speed.

This review is from: Sony VAIO PCG-V505AXP Laptop (1.80-GHz Pentium 4-M, 512 MB RAM, 30 GB Hard Drive) (Personal Computers)

Such as, to exit something you have to tap in the corner of the pad. Well, because they don't tell you about that, you could be typing an email and oops! it's gone. Even when you eliminate all but the scrolling, it clicks itself out. It is very annoying!

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy support, November 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony VAIO PCG-V505AXP Laptop (1.80-GHz Pentium 4-M, 512 MB RAM, 30 GB Hard Drive) (Personal Computers)
I purchased the PCG-V505P from Sony in Australia. Same problems with the mousepad not functioning. Sony support in Australia is incredibly bad - it took them 3 weeks to just reply to my inquiry on their local support website to tell me where to take it in for service and then they said it would take 5 days or longer to repair. By comparison, Toshiba send a courier to pick up a faulty unit in warranty and return it the next day. You'd be crazy to purchase Sony if you're a serious business user. I'll live without a usable mousepad until my next PC purchase (not Sony)

1.0 out of 5 stars bad keyboard; bad service; DVD problems; mouse problems, October 24, 2003
This review is from: Sony VAIO PCG-V505AXP Laptop (1.80-GHz Pentium 4-M, 512 MB RAM, 30 GB Hard Drive) (Personal Computers)
The most iritating thing is that you have to press two buttons to do PgUp, PgDn, Home and End.
After 20 minutes mouse starts clicking on its own.
After a month CD slowed down to 4x. It couldn't recognise lot of CDs and DVDs.
Repair disk were damaged.
Warrenty is 90 days unless you give Sony lot of personal info.
It took Sony's service 43 days to fix the unit.

Do not buy Sony laptop.
