Good Notebook [Posted on 2004-04-02]
I have had this unit for 3 weeks now and find myself liking it more everytime I use it. Very versatile and loaded with some very nice features for the price. The display is exceptional for a notebook, no need to hook it up to my 19" Viewsonic. I was a bit worried about not having any backup/restore disks but was pleasantly surprised to find that it will make you a set if you want, on either a cd or dvd.
The only drawback is the battery life. About 1 hour is all I have been able to squeak out. But considering that I bought it for a desktop replacement, I can live with having it plugged in.
Overall, I would recommend this notebook to anyone looking for a desktop replacement in notebook form.
Vaio K15 [Posted on 2004-04-19]
Overall, a solid mid-level notebook capable of performing a wide variety of functions and multi-media applications. Unfortunately, the down side is a pretty big one: battery life is pretty pathetic. Don't count on more than 45 to 50 minutes playing a dvd on a fully charged battery. I've also had a few intermittent problems getting it to recognize photos stored on my Sony memory sticks, which is kind of ironic considering it's Sony's own proprietary memory storage medium.
Excellent Mid-grade notebook! [Posted on 2004-06-09]
Overall nice machine. I get about 2.5-3 full hours battery life, even while watching a DVD. Didn't come with any disks, so make sure you make your own when you first buy. Expensive batteries and AC power supplies.. few accessories. But the sceen/display is amazing! Well built, full of built-in features, and a pleasure to use. Again, the display is truely unsurpassed. Could be better, but not at this price.
Good performance - low battery life [Posted on 2006-03-13]
I am happy with the performance of this notebook, but i had 2 drawbacks. one, the battery life sucks, i just recently purchased a new notebook for mobility and made this vaio a desktop basically. and two, it is bulky. i purchased it online b/c the features where appealing but when i received it was a lot bigger then i expect it. but aside from that, a very good notebook, just not mobile.
Powerhouse heavy hitter [Posted on 2006-09-21]
It does everything I needed and more. Precessor works extremely well while multi tasking (split screen DVD while browsing the web...etc) Its a bit heavy, but for large screen multimedia purposes, whose counting the ounces. Its the best laptop I've ever used. I give it a 5 star
