This review is from: Sony VAIO VPC-EB15FX/T 15.5-Inch Laptop (Brown) (Personal Computers)

Got the brown color just to be different...WOW!! Great looking. Fast, not too much add-on trash software to uninstall. Kinda wish I had gotten the i5 processor (not offered w/Blu-Ray) but this i3 is really a go getter and I'm just as happy. Boots up really quickly, never a blue screen (thanks Windows 7 64bit) and hav had no compatibility issues yet other than difficulty running an old scratchy disk of AOL 9.0. Since AOL on disk didn't load well so I just downloaded it and got the new AOL 9.5 and that runs super. I've had the item for a couple of weeks and placed Word-2003 that works great, my own Norton2010 that I already had (deleted the Norton Trial ware of same name offered). Put my ESPN, NFL, Amazon and EBay and various other web site ICONS up without a hitch. My only issue is the speaker(s) are pathetic. I searched for new drivers but have not found any. Purchased a Case Logic Model R-110 USB laptop speaker and they sound is great although the speaker is kind of awkward.

Connected to my Toshiba 62" HD via the HDMI and Blu-ray and picture and sound were excellent. Its a little clumsy and awkward what with the remote controls, mouse/keypad, and cables but possible. Upgraded my home from a "g" Wifi hotspot to an Extreme-"N" wifi and this laptop flies at 150MBps without a hitch.

Very nice keyboard. I like the IBM/Levono keyboard of my old T22 laptop better but all-in-all this is a fine machine and I recommend to anyone (except gamers). More than likely, gamers will need a separate graphics card but I've never experienced any problems with normal things.

If you want a nice perfect fitting neopreme case (w/handles) get the MICROSOFT I have already reviewed. It fits perfectly.

UPDATE: Gave R-110 to friend and got almost as good sounding but much easier handling Logitech Clip-on Z205 USB Speaker. More very happy (?) with this one. Haven't found any improved drivers for the Sony speakers, they still suck! I recorded in HD one of the NBA playoff games. Sooooooo effin great picture. Windows Media Center works like a TIVO. You can go eat or bathroom and come back and go back to point you left to continue watching and the game has been continued to be recorded. Cool stuff...
