Vaio [Posted on 2006-01-14] Seems well refurbished and in good condition.
Well.... [Posted on 2006-04-09] I bought this laptop about 9 months ago. I don't know what the refurbished part means, but I know that the laptop I own has had several problems. First of all, when the laptop was 2 months old, it shut off and would not come back on. I let it sit for a couple of days, thinking maybe it needed a rest. But no, it was simply dead. So I took it in to be serviced and since I live overseas there is only one place I can take it: the place I bought it. They had to send it to Sony. I didn't get it back for 4 months! So really I've only had the laptop for 5 months...Anyway, since I got it back, it has been getting really hot. For instance, tonight I turned it on and literally 11 minutes later I pulled the power cord out and it was smoking! I really hope it doesn't try to burn down our government quarters, because I think Sony would be in big trouble then - we live on a military base and there are 64 residences in this building. The thing that bothers me the most: it was that hot after only 11 minutes.
I do enjoy the speed of it, I like the screen and everything else. I just don't trust the safety of my family now. That's the worst!
