Very pretty.Very powerful.Very satisfying.Excellent price and value.
Buy it and enjoy. Every feature for the average user is included;even the packaging is top class.

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.

I like it a lot. It is very small and compact and the blue is beautiful. This laptop came very fast and in good conditions. And the software installation is very easy.

I love my computer and I only notice one bad thing about it. The battery life after charging is kinda low. But as long as your keep it charged it works great!

Mine broke within the first week. I would like to think it was a rare occurance, but let's just say I won't be buying a Vaio again. I booted it up one morning to read "critical error, please enter original CDs". . . did it come with original CDs? Nope!

I started having problems from the 1st minute. The computer function very slow reminded me the speed of computers 15 years ago. Then I started having sound and graphics malfunction. I had to do system restore which helped for less then 30 min's. I ended up returning it.

I GOT THIS LAPTOP BECAUSE IT IS RED, I ALSO LOVE SONY. THE ONLY THING IS I MUST SAY IF YOU LIKE TO HAVE QUALITY SOUND THIS MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT LAPTOP FOR YOU. THE SOUND QUALITY IS POOR IT IS VERY LOW........

This product came in as advertised, I was really pleased with the expedient delivery and quality of product. I saved over 600 dollars by going through TigerDirect. Thanks for Everything!
