5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice, Inexpensive, Beautiful Screen, June 26, 2006
This review is from: Sony VAIO VGC-VA11G Desktop PC (Intel Pentium 4 Processor 640, 1 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, DVD+R Dbl Layer/DVD+/-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)
I am always a bit reluctant to purchase an all-in-one model computer because of the lack of ability to upgrade it. But I'm very pleased with this vaio. It plays games such as Morrowind Oblivian, and records my Sci-fi and soaps with ease. It arrived quickly from the sony store and had no product defaults.
Out of the box it set up right away. It has a beautiful screen and runs like a dream. It has a decent videocard, and I'll be able to play games such as NWN 2 with ease.
Downside:
1. It gets a bit hot. Keep it away from the wall or other items, and set the screen to turn off if you are using it.
2. Making your own copy of the OS, was annoying, and took several hours. This is par for the course for Sony, but still irritating. When you just buy a brand new computer, the last thing you want to do is burn dvd's of its operating system. Thank god I had some on hand, or I'd be seriously annoyed.
3. Make sure to dust it frequently, there are a number of vents and fans on the back which can be easily dirty or filed with dust and make the pc noisy.
Overall, a good machine, recommend.
