What Customers Say About Sony VAIO VGN-CR425E/B 14.1-inch Laptop (2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Black:

I bought this laptop to replac another laptop and it has worked great for over 6 months now. Great design and works perfectly. The fingerprint reader works about 95% of the time so remember your password.Great value for its price. I got it on Amazon deals for about 800 with shipping.

well you turn it on and it works. Vista.On the computer itself, it is a true laptop, meaning that it's not a TOO large mini-super-computer-emulator but not too small either. His Compaq mini-tower had died two months prior and I thought a laptop would make more sense for him now.I am not going to go into the technical mumbo-jumbo because you can see the specs posted in the product description section. The laptop comes equipped with a built-in camera almost invisible, it plays DVDs and, of course it has a microphone.

hmmm. I ordered this Vaio from Amazon over a month ago when it was offered as a Gold Box item. As it is always the case with 'consumer' computers, as soon as you turn it on, you are bombarded with tons of tutorials and various pre-installed trashware/bloatware - the usual suspects: AOL, Macaffee, Adobe, Norton. You provide the computer your fingerprints and you no longer need to enter username/password ever again. The display looks great.

It took me a couple of hours to clean it up and leave only the stuff that was not on a 'trial' base and get rid of all the well-meaning spyware.So, after cleanup, we got ourselves a nice, Wi-Fi enabled, AOL/Explorer/Macaffee/Norton-free little laptop that my son loves using for his personal entertainment and for the occasional school homework - Microsoft Works comes pre-installed for that.Battery life appears to be adequate but the battery is relatively slow to charge - I guess you can't have everything at the same time.On the 'cool' factor. You simply slide your finger (any finger) over the reader and, you're authenticated.I never had to call the Sony customer service, so I can't comment on that. Suffices to say that it is adequately supplied with memory, has sufficient disk storage and comes with. My kid also likes the text-to-speech capability but he's telling me that the computer is more often wrong than right when interpreting his words. The keyboard is only adequate.

This model does not come with a mouse so, if you don't want to depend on the little touchpad, make sure you have a USB mouse handy.Installation. The cool stuff that DOES work is the fingerprint authentication. I am very much a do-it-yourself type when it comes to computer (never on cars).Overall rating: I am satisfied with the the laptop but the keyboard could have been better.

This was a very good deal on GOLD BOX DEAL. I bought it with affordable price and the product functioned overall were outstanding. I loved it so much.

I had waited to get a Sony Vaio because that was what I had before and was totally sold on Sony. Then I saw the great deal on Amazon, just what I was looking for big HD lots of RAM, SOLD.

The only negative about it is the sound. I bought this because it's a bit smaller than my other laptop (an HP)and am happy with it so far. It starts up faster than the HP. I haven't called tech support about it yet and there may be an update that will take care of the problem. So we'll see.
