MACTABULOUS!!!
For all those people who are concerned about space restrictions and want a powerhouse computer that will not need a large footprint, the Mac Mini is the perfect solution.Packing a boatload of power into a computer yay bigger than a coaster, there is no better power/space combination in the entire computing world!
A mixed bag
I'm a long time Windows user, but liked the elegance of Macs and was keen to try something that "just works" as the sales pitch goes.
For All WINTEL Folks: its time to free your mind of DLL's!
I recall writing a short review just as I was ordering this piece of incredible ART OF A MACHINE!Steve REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TACKLE pc users and make believers OUT OF them!I seriously started to hate my PC Machine and not use it anymore. I am forced to though since my satellite connection is cross wired with my MacMini.

Great home computer
The VGC-RB50 has the ability to handle photoshop and the other programs I use for illustration.I wish it had two DVD/CD drives, but I can always add one later on.

Buyer Beware
I bought this computer 10 days ago. When I opened the box I found there was just one piece of paper for computer specs..and they didn't say much. I wanted to upgrade RAM 512 just doesn't go far these days. I went to Sony support and they had 2 documents...one was the paper included in the box and the other is a .chm file. I have yet to find anything that works to open it and make it readable. I called sony and that wasn't much help, emailed them no response yet, started a chat session with tech support and was told detailed motherboard specs are not published. Emachines and Compaq are both much better in allowing you to access infomation about your computer. If you work on your own computer beware there is no motherboard support...even intel doesn't list this board even though they manufactured it. For the money you can buy a better system from companies much more customer friendly. I gave it a 1 because so far it does run and 1 is the lowest rating. I expected more and got so much less. ...

I love my hp
I bought this about a year ago and i love it. I have had no problems. It does everything i wanted. I'm happy with my purchase.

It's been great!
A great computer at a great price when I bought it.Since then I've done some odds and ends upgrading of the video card and added another gig of RAM in order to run my games more smoothly.Right out of the box it ran the Adobe CS2 suite like a charm.

I bought this product and I have no problem
Everything works fine.The sound is very good.You can do several things at the same time.

This monster roars, louder than an airplane.
Trust me, do NOT buy this PC. I bought one 2 weeks ago
Super Fast And Trouble Free
I've been using the m7360n for about two months now having upgraded from an older m470n model.Installation and setup was a breeze and all features function as advertised.This machine is super fast and the layout of connectors, card slots, etc. is well organized.Setting up the Media Center features was fast and easy and the picture and sound quality are great.I particularly like the removeable second hard drive (optional accessory) as I can transfer recordings to this drive and plug it into any other PC.The only negative I can think of (and this is a personal opinion) is the massive amount of games and other software that comes pre-loaded.However, a visit to Control Panel-Add Remove Programs quickly took care of this.I highly recommend this product to anyone considering a Media Center PC and the value for the money, reliability and tech support are far superior to Dell or Sony.

Released before the bugs were worked out
HP seems to have released this computer before they got all the bugs worked out.

Fast PC, runs Windows XP well...
The VGC-RB60G is our fourth purchase of a Sony VAIO desktop computer, and replaces my wife's PCV-RZ32G. I currently have a VGC-RA940G, and my wife started out with a PCV-LX920.

Mean Machine
My order was quickly processed and shipped. I had trouble installing the sbc dsl installation disc so I called sonys help line and quickly spoke with someone who helped trouble-shoot the problem.They told me that the problem was the disc version of sbc and that I should contact them.After that I was further instructed on how to download the correct version from their website.After doing this the computer was supreme.With 1 GB RAM everything happens in a flash, it's 200 GB Hard Drive is more than enough which is an understatment.I purchased this computer from tigerdirect.com through amazon and paid 800 dollars which after doing my research and comparing prices is a great deal.It comes with a keyboard, a really cool mouse, and a set of speakers.I choose to purchase a 19 inch sony flat panel monitor from amazon.com of which I paid 310 US dollars after 150 Mail in Rebate to Sony.I didn't purchase the XtraBrite because it cost more and the only difference seemed to be the glossy screen and the colors were exagerated (the grass was unrealistacly green).So all in all I paid $1100 + s/h which, compared to this setup as a total package, saved a couple hundred dollars depending on where you look.I am blown away at this computer, surfing the internet is a whole new experience now that I don't have to wait for page loads or freezing.Taking on 30 tasks at once is not a problem for this computer, not that I would ever need to but just knowing that you could.It's like driving a porsche, you probably won't need to go 200 mph but just knowing you could is really cool.A 200 GB hard drive larger than you'll need but it's nice to have.I recommend this computer to Multi Media users and suggest the 19 inch flat panel sony monitor to go with it, 19 inches is the way to go.I've had a 17 flat screen monitor for 6 years and I was just blown away with this new one.I love it.Also, the whole package looks so cool on a desk.I think that the way a computer appears is also important and sony is top of the line when it comes to that.This computer is a mean machine and I am just so glad that there was nothing wrong with it and am looking forward to spending many years playing with it.

Love it
I bought this machine at Comp USA on sale for cheap. Tossed in a Geforce 4 card and I was ready to rock. Like the user said above.... it doesn't come with system disks. What you are supposed to do is burn them when u use the computer. I guess it's a little cheap on Sony's part making the consumer burn his/her own system disks, but hey, blank CDs and DVDs are cheap and I'd rather save a few hundred bucks.

Arrived with defective modem, no system disks or documentation
The system is very attractively priced, especially with the rebates from both Sony and Amazon.

Awesome PC, just takes some time to iron out wrinkles
I got this PC after trying the RA-834G, which Sony doesn't make anymore. The only difference is that this machine has the 3.0 Ghz Dual-Core Pentium D, compared to the 3.6 Ghz Pentium on the 834G, and this one has 100 GB bigger hard drive.
