I made the mistake of purchasing a Sony VAIO FE11S on 20th March 2006. Within a few days, the HDD started to make a really annoying clicking noise. After three pointless weeks of going back and forth to VAIO online support, they suggested that I return the machine for repair but also threatened to charge me for the priviledge. I then got on to their customer service people who finally admitted that the clicking HDD is a known problem with this particular model. I had been telling them that since the outset since there are over 300 posts in their own VAIO forums from people with the same problem with this particular machine. I was told that they were investigating and ...  Read the complete review

This is a slightly long story, but I think it's quite a good one - I still can barely believe it myself, but since it happened to me I know it's the truth :) Last summer (let's see, around July 2001), I decided to take the plunge and buy a new monitor. For the last 3 years I've been using 15" monitors, and while they're generally fine (although I tend to have bad luck with monitors, and they konk out just after their warranty expires!), because I produce art with my computer I felt that something a little larger would be a nice treat. I bought an A220, which is a 17" monitor and cost me around £130 (they've got more ...  Read the complete review

Sony - a great company with a great reputation. Their products are well designed, incorporating innovative and useful functionality with excellent visual impact. I own a PCG-N505SN notebook (as well as a Playstation 2, a old hi-fi that has done 10 years and is still going strong, and a video camera). The notebook is great, incredibly slimline yet powerful enough for everything i need. However... It breaks. undefined software/hardware problem, continual crashing. sony customer care quite helpful on the phone, and come to collect it same day. Their customer care department will not give out its phone number - i can only fax them, but am guaranteed a reply ...  Read the complete review

SONY is a company you have grown up to trust, love and is a synopsis of quality. Sony notebooks follow the sony philosophy to the 't'. They look the part, full of quality components, jam packed with software, reliable and value for money. The PCG-F250 for the money is out of this world. SONY have produced a notebook light on the pocket but heavy on the features. A decent speed processor, CD Rom drive, graphics and sound chips combined with a decent sized screen (although the screen is the worst part). It is well built as loads of software, runs fast and quiet with power saving features to cut down on battery useage. Coming with a USB ...  Read the complete review
