I love me laptop however it came with a few problems. The DVD Drive had a loose and striped screw in it and the sound card had intermitent issues. I have sent it back and I am now awaiting its return. Like I said LITLE problems that can be fixed with ease. I can't wait to get her back. It is a great little laptop in a very cool color.

First product review, so please bare with me.

I got this computer in August, so I've been using it for a few months now. I must say that overall I am very satisfied with it. I'm going to list my two qualms first because they are relatively minor:

-Sound: I've had problems with the sound drivers for about a month now. I think this might have more to do with vista than the actual computer, though. It's not a difficult process to reinstall them.

-Battery Life: The battery life is a little dismal. You are given three modes for viewing the screen when not plugged in. High performance will drain the battery quickly (hour-hour and a half), while balanced & power saver do much better.

On to the pros:

Wireless: Great wireless card in this computer. It was easy to set up, and runs great.

Design: The exterior looks great, but it is prone to fingerprints. The interior on the other hand is simply awesome. I love the brushed silver finish. The computer itself is sleek as well. My friend just bought a comparable Gateway model, and I noticed it was slightly bulkier than the cr309e.

Components: I haven't gamed or anything along those lines, but for everyday use this is more than sufficient. Vista takes up a lot of memory, so I'm upgrading to 4gig of ram soon. It's not a knock against the computer though. 2 is more than sufficient. The 14.1" screen is absolutely perfect. I bring up the analogy of the three bears because the screen feels just right..

Overall, I definitely recommend this computer. It's knocks definitely are outweighed by the positives. Sony has a reputation of putting out quality products, and this laptop is no exception.
