Customer Review: Sony VAIO VGN-AR650U 17″ Laptop
I received the Sony Laptop for my Christmas present. I love it. It replaced a very old laptop. The operating system — Windows Vista Premium– has worked without any problems. I turned it on, and it found the wireless connection right away. If you check around you will have a hard time finding another laptop for this price that offers the hard drive size and accessories this one offers. I love the HDMI connection; I can connect it to our TV and watch the items I have selected on my laptop on the TV. It’s great for any TV shows you are downloading from the internet. You can also watch movies on your TV that you are playing from the DVD Drive.
Customer Review: Great core/features, needs fine tuning
First, I will ignore all aspects Vista related. This Vaio has some nice power, a good feature set, and is one of the cheaper 17″ that comes with an HDMI (an awesome feature if u download movies or have an hdtv. However, its needs a serious run through on the physical design, especially around the keyboard. The keyboard looks like it belongs on a 12 inch top. though the actual buttons are large, there poorly spaced and arranged. The entire keyboard has sooo much room around the edges that it begs the question “why didn’t they use this space for the keyboard?”. The pros: Excellent speed/cost ratio Beautiful screen and 1080 HD HDMI The Cons: The keyboard is TINY considering the real estate they could have used. The screen is so heavy, it requires one hand to hold the bottom down, while the other lifts the screen up. The screen has a 1 inch black bar all the way around that increases the overall size of the laptop. I gave this 3 stars because it really has some nice potential, and any person who spends five minutes with it can see that it would be greatly improved with some minor changes. But, its been reliable for me, powerful, and came at a good price. In the end, you could do worse.

Customer Review: Good but not perfect
Everything works as specified but… 1. DVD drive is noisy when playing and recording, I can sometimes hear the motor noise over quiet parts in a film which is annoying. 2. The layer change pause on purchased films is very long, much worse than my older Sony DVD player. 3. On screen menus and graphics are not consistent between all features, it appears Panasonic have thrown together the software from some of their other products into this box. 4. The DTT guide has no search. 5. Remote control could be simpler, several buttons have very similar functions.
Customer Review: disappointing …
Already have a Panasonic hard-drive dvd recorder (EX75)downstairs, and it’s superb. I bought the EZ47 for the bedroom, and also because I wanted to transfer some of my videos onto dvd. Disappointed for 2 reasons: 1. It suddenly bursts into life in the middle of the night, whirring away for several seconds and waking us both up. I can’t find any apparent reason for this. 2. Although it boasts no loss of picture quality when transferring from video onto dvd, the fact is that if you watch any video on a lovely new flatscreen tv - the picture quality is rubbish anyway. The dvd copies are therefore rubbish as well. I hadn’t realised this before, having only watched dvds on the flatscreen. Video is very old-tec now,and doesn’t stand up to the new tv technology. This copying function was therefore a waste of time for me, as video-quality film is unwatchable on my telly.

Offering powerful computing resources at an affordable price, the Sony VAIO VGN-NR110E/T also makes a stylish statement with rounded corners and unique coloring. Named for an exotic African wood, this Wenge VAIO NR notebook features a dark, rich brown color with subtle copper accents that shine through in angled light. The widescreen 15.4-inch screen makes it easy to multitask in several open windows, or watch a DVD in its proper aspect ratio. And Sony’s original XBRITE-ECO LCD technology delivers razor-sharp details and crisp, bold colors–all while conserving battery life. The instant AV Mode feature enables you to start watching a DVD or listening to music with the push of a single button–without having to boot up the system.

This notebook is powered by the 1.46 GHz Intel Pentium T2310 dual-core processor and it comes with 1 GB of installed RAM (which can be increased to a maximum of 2 GB). Other features include a 120 GB hard drive, 54g Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), multi-format/dual-layer DVD?RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard 34 slot, and both Memory Stick and SD memory cart slots.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you’ll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

• Processor: The 1.46 GHz Intel Pentium T2310 dual-core processor delivers additional computing resources and help expand the PC’s capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing. You’ll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. Each core shares 1 MB of L2 cache, and they have a 533 MHz front-side bus. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
• Hard Drive: The 120 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 20,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
• Memory: The 1 GB of installed DDR2 RAM (PC4200, 2 x 512 MB DDR2, 533 MHz) is a good start, but you’ll want to maximize the 2 GB RAM capacity to handle hungry productivity software and demanding multimedia. Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
• DVD/CD Drive: The dual-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data–great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 4x for DVD+R DL, 4x for DVD-R DL, 8x for both single layer DVD+R/-R, 8x for single layer DVD+RW, 6x for single layer DVD-RW, 5x for DVD-RAM, and 24x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 82-key keyboard (2mm stroke and 19.05mm pitch) and electro-static two-button touchpad.

Screen, Video & Audio
You’ll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition screen, with its 1280 x 800-pixel resolution.

Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, which uses shared video memory (up to 251 MB allocated from the system memory) and provides Windows Vista Aero interface support and enhanced 3-D graphics performance–delivering over 2x scores on 3-DMark 06. Intel Clear Video Technology provides outstanding video playback with sharper image quality, increased clarity, and customizable color controls. It also enables enhanced visual quality of interlaced content on progressive displays.

Customer Review: STAY AWAY FROM VAIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1
Glenn Skow’s post is correct. This problems goes a looong way back and they haven’t(refuse to) corrected it yet. This problem exist with Vaio P4 or other models of VAIO. Yeah, it’s the soldering problem with the SODIMM memory banks which gets broken w/ mobo over time. When that happens, you won’t be able to use the laptop. Sony continues to ignore the problems and pass it on to your pocketbook.
Customer Review: STAY AWAY FROM VAIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please be aware that there is a known defect in the Vaio line. I personally have had direct experience with this having my Vaio die on me as a result of a “cracked motherboard” only 14 months of having it. It is a known defect in the Vaio design. I urge anyone who reads this to be very catious about buying a Vaio and consider an alternative, more reliable computer. “The issue stems from the memory SODIMM slots. The solder joints that connect the SODIMM’s to the motherboard are breaking, causing one or both memory modules not to be polled, or counted, towards total system memory…Sony than charges $700-$1200 to repair it”
