 Does not support Windows 7 Oct 23, 2009
The laptop itself has no problem except for the slow performance due to Windows Vista (I have Vista home premium on mine). Therefore, I was waiting for the day when Sony would have the updated drivers and support for this Laptop. However, to my great surprise Sony put up the following message on its website on October 22nd.
"VGNAR605E The hardware configuration of this model does not meet the minimum system requirements needed to run and provide the full experience of the Windows® 7 operating system.
Windows® 7 installation is not recommended and Sony will not be providing Windows® 7 drivers for this model. "
[...]
Other than the above message Sony does not provide any help for users who might want to upgrade.
I can understand some small time product supplier not providing support for one of its recent products, but I didn't expect this from Sony, and also as a fan of Sony products, I am greatly dissapointed. I would not recommend anybody to buy this product because you will be stuck with Windows Vista.
Unstable Oct 11, 2009
I bought this laptop in January 2008 based on the excellent customer reviews. However, this laptop has been nothing but trouble from the start. I previously had a Toshiba Satellite and switched to Vaio because I had heard so many great things about them... I will be buying another Satellite next time I purchase a laptop. The mother board was replaced in month three of having this machine after frequent contact that began two weeks after receiving it. Sony continued to make excused, give me the run-around, suggest fixes I had already tried, and were generally inept and unhelpful. They were obviously stalling until the 90-day warranty ran out. They sent someone to replace the mother board only after I threatened legal action. Since then, I continue to have problems because it also had a glaring issue with the battery, which they refused to replace. It gets VERY hot, but it wasn't listed as a model that had the 'burning' of people's skin issue, so they didn't care. Granted, I may have been unfortunate enough to just get a lemon, but the issues combined with the inept customer service has led me to the decision that this machine is not worth what I paid for it and thus, no Sony will be worth my time in the future. Toshiba always provided excellent, prompt service and seemed to genuinely care about the quality of their machines.
 Refurbished Sony VAIO is excellent! Nov 21, 2008
I purchased this Sony VAIO VGNAR630E laptop recently and have found no problems with it. It runs remarkably fast and has a beautiful display. It is definitely a desktop replacement given it's size, but nonetheless it's still transportable. Overall, so far, it works great and I am happy with my purchase.
The best laptop I've ever had Jul 11, 2008
Awesome laptop! As soon as I took it out of the box, I was shocked at how beautiful it is. The screen is very bright, and everything about it is great! I definitely reccomend!
