Sony Vaio fs740 - Good laptop
I've had the fs740 a while and haven't had any of the problems that the others are describing.The trend seems to be that bestbuy is selling defective machines.Perhaps they get theirs made especially for them and cut corners?That said, I have heard alot of complaints about the customer service practices of Sony even though I havent had to deal with them (yet).
bad product, worse customer service
I brought the product from best buy in chicago, after a month the laptop suddenly died on me, took it back to best buy, it took more than 3 weeks for the pc to come back, with all the data erased , apparently there was a problem in the mother board ( it seems this is quite a frequent problem with vaios the connection between the power supply & the mother board !).
SONY VAIO VGN-FS HAS DEFECTIVE AND WRONGLY DESIGNED LCD.

Did a lot of research and am 100% satisfied...
Quick rundown:
Sony VAIO T350/l Rocks
The T350 series is being offered by Sony as an ultimate back-to-school accessory. If only such had been available when I was in school. For me it is the ultimate road warrior computer. It is as powerful as a desktop and keeps up nicely with a big HP bad boy laptop which was designed for performance, not battery life. In all respects, the small Sony is equal or better and it's just a joy to use. The keyboard reminds me of an Apple PowerBook keyboard. It is small which is normally a disadvantage but the sure, precise action makes it as easy to use as a desktop keyboard and easier than most laptops.
A product that shows the bleeding edge of technology
I bought the Sony Vaio T250L, the percursor to this model; the T350 series is the T250, but with the addition of 3G connectivity to the Bluetooth and WiFi. Every other spec is the same.

Awesome notebook, but U need to do one thing first...
Make sure you have Windows XP Pro (SP2) installation disk and do a CLEAN install of everything.The sony website has all the updated drivers.
Junk - not for the power user
I own two other Sony laptops the V505 and the GRX550 both of which I was inclined to upgrade Hard drives after reliability problems with this Sony VAIO VGN-FS850/W that I purchased new from CompUSA only a few months ago. Had I known I would have this many problems with the FS850 I never would have gone through this ordeal. I have had to reformat/reinstall software from scratch at least 6 times in the last two months. Hibernation corrupted, programs would not install as reliability as on the other two laptops. The Hard drive grinds forever on reboot, despite higher speed ratings than the other two laptops. I have had multiple blue screen crashes this month. Thank God we are using Acronis True image as backup, otherwise we would be days in reinstalling software. We've attempted several diagnosis checks on memory, motherboard, hard drive to no avail. Software compatible on the other two Vaio laptops is not always compatible with this Vaio. And we have the latest revisions.

Great laptop..could have been better
Very good display and sound system. Comes with good video editing softwares. This could have been better by giving a slot for SD card, it includes only slot for memory stick duo which is not a popular memory like SD card. The ram could have been 1 GB at least as the128 MB shared video RAM reduces the total available memory for PC operations.

disappointment
positives:
AWESOME
I really am confused over how someone could dislike this laptop as much as these other people have.Frankly this is the best electronic device I have ever owned.It does everything your typical computer should do, plus more, alot more.The docking station is fantastic especially when I need to move around (just pick it up and go, my router is connected to the station), and I won't even get in to how great it is to watch tv, record the shows you miss, and then burn them to DVD so you can watch later.For me, the FS680 has all the mobility of any other laptop, but with desktop-like power inside, plus features that even some desktops don't have.

Slow, low battery life
Although it has a 1.86 GHz processor and 1 GB RAM, it is very slow compared to a slower model.Besides, the battery life is only about 1.5 hours at the most making it not as portable as other SONY laptops. ... Read more

Could be Sams Club, could be Sony, Not sure.
Well this being the 3rd yes THIRD notebook i've gotten from Sam's Club really has me wondering about the quality of there products. First off i got a Qosmio, which i really didn have a problem with until i found someone elses documents on it and found out it wasnt suppose to be sold. So back it went, i had wanted another toshiba because it was super nice but they wouldnt send it from one club to another, so much for that. So i went back to Sam's and picked up a Compaq which turned out to be crap, the screen flickered badly and the burner was only burning at 2X speed tops. So now to the Sony Vaio. Well after paying a hefty 1,149 bucks for it with smaller specs than some of the cheaper models i thought well great its a Sony what can go wrong? Plenty. Here's just a list of a pro and cons about the whole computer over all, and i do believe its a Sam's thing. Not sony.

The portability and battery life are killer!
I bought the TX670P (not TX650P) for my wife as her birthday present last month, as she said she wanted to be able to carry her computer in whatever bag she was carrying that day.

runs much faster than others with more power
ive owned mine for over a year now, and i have owned other laptops in the meantime as well.this baby runs much faster than other budget-branded (rhymes with 'smell') machines with faster processors and twice the memory.also, i often get 6 or 8 hours out of a single charge on my battery, when the others ive mentioned were getting 2.although all of my other computers have over a gig of ram, this one has gotten by with only 512mb.
eh laptop
this is really, really expensive...
Worst laptop I have ever owned!
This has been the most unreliable computer I have ever seen, and I have the joy of owning it.At six months old, there's something wrong with the hard drive connector, and it's newest trick involves randomly shutting off, sometimes to reboot, sometimes to do nothing but power on, but not even start to boot up or turn the screen on.Hard not to feel had after shelling out over 2 grand on it. ...

Sony Vaio Laptops are the worst in the world, take it from a corporate IT guy who supports hundreds of these worthless bricks !
Summary of problems:
Great System
I have been using my FS810 for three months now. Got an awesome deal at 799.00 + tax. It is fast, has everything except bluetooth, which you can add for 40 dollars. It's very light for it's size and looks as cool as a MAC and draws a lot of attention at the airport. The display is truely incredible!!! Spend the extra 100 or 200 and get this Sony!

GREAT DEAL
My daughter had been shopping the Sony VAIO all over town when a freind told us about the deal she had gotten at Amazon.We went on line and snagged one for our daughter for college and a week later ordered one for another relative.They LOVE them.
