3.0 out of 5 stars Textured touchpad - try before you buy, October 14, 2009

This review is from: Sony VAIO VGN-NW120J/S 15.5-Inch Laptop - Silver (Personal Computers)

This is a nice looking laptop and I like the design.
As for speed and performance, it's a lot faster than my old Dell so no complaints.

I'm motivated to review the touchpad here because - to be honest it's driving me crazy. It's not a smooth touchpad - you'll see from the photos that there is a slight texturing to it. I didn't think it would be a problem but my fingertips - no matter how light or hard I press - don't move smoothly over it in any direction but downwards. They catch and start-stop. It's so frustrating - I went back to the dealer and we tried cutting a plastic iPhone cover down to size and affixing it over the touchpad but it didn't stick very well. Sadly I'm contemplating returning it which would be such a shame.

I don't mind using a USB mouse but still - I encourage anyone thinking of going with this particular design to really give the touchpad a try. Maybe it's just me, but ... ugh.

Nice product in a very good value. My only disappointment was the battery duration. I never could get up to 5 hours as described in the product especification. Battery lasts for as much as 2 hours. Consider in your budget a long duration (6-9 cell) extra battery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed with textured touchpad & short battery life, December 1, 2009

I do not like the bumpy, textured touchpad - my finger catches frequently even with the lightest pressure and it is simply unpleasant to the touch, especially during long hours of use. The experience is obnoxious enough that I am considering getting rid of this laptop after only a few days!

Battery life is only ~2 hrs, not 5 as advertised.


Otherwise, the laptop is fast and attractive.
