I decided to get rid of my 2 towers and consolidate to a single laptop a couple of months ago and never looked back. I needed something that could still churn through the Adobe Suite that I use for generating creative and other graphic and memory intensive applications. I simply love this laptop. It does everything it says it will and more! I have used the Blue Ray a few times and found it easy enough to hook it up via the HDMI port to my Sony HD receiver. The 320GB hard drive is more than enough to use for storage and comes partitioned out as 2 drives. I use another portable 500GB drive as my scratch drive for creative and compiling. Having 3GB of RAM also helps BIG TIME when rendering. You can max it out to 4GB, but I don't think Vista will recognize the additional memory. The only downside that I see for this laptop is the battery life is pretty dismal when running at full tilt. You can choose a balanced or max battery setting to improve the overall time. But then again, with a 17" display and being a powerhouse, it's to be expected to be a battery hog. In a nutshell, I'm extremely happy with this laptop and use it for all of its strengths. If you a NOT a power user, I suggest that you save your money and with a more affordable laptop. Microsoft Office doesn't exactly tax any laptops currently on the market.
Good Computer. [Posted on 2008-09-01]
I bought the Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B, this computer is good, it's not the usual laptop size it's a desktop replacement. It comes loaded with windows ultimate and some trial software, this computer it's NOT a 64-bit computer instead it's a 32-bit. I haven't had any display flickering or technical issue so far, I have use the Recovery Center and everything goes back to the factory install software even WINDVD. This computer doesn't have no backup CD's or any CDs you have to burn them with your computer. The only uncomfortable feeling about this computer is that it gets somewhat warm, other than that this computer is alright.

Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B [Posted on 2008-10-11]
I Love the Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B I used to have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and I start to have problems when I played my games, so I decide to buy this computer after reading all the reviews, I choose one day shipping and the next day I have my new laptop, it came very well packaged don't have recovery disc but I don't think is important I have almos 2 years with my dell and never used the recovery programs, but I made my recovery disc after removing all the programs I didn't want.
I turn on the Laptop and I noticed The screen is too bright to my eyes I have sensible eyes, but when you are out in the sun is perfect, The only thing I don't like is that when I adjust the display brightness to lower a noise appear and I call the VAIO support but they told me that this is normal because of the good quality of the display so i will buy a privacy filter soon to not heard that noice and my eyes not suffer.
The quality of the colors of the display are fantastic nothing compare with my Dell also is fast, fast very fast, I install all my games the Monopoly, Zuma Delux, Chuzzle Delux, Cradke Of Rome, Dairy Dash, Ranch Rush, Cake Mania2, Chocolatier 1 & 2, Hoyle Puzzle & Board Games, Solitaire City, Slingo Supre, Age of empires and all work great, I transfer all my videos, Music and picture and I'm only used 177 GB so I still have lot of free space.
I have a program to conver the format of my videos but with the VAIO Video and Photo Suite and with the "click to disc" option I don't need nothing more. I'm not use all the programs that this machine have already, but it will take some time to used them all.
I removed some installed programs that came and I don't need and of corse I remove the Norton 360 antivirus because I use it before with my Dell for a year and didn't liked because slows my computer a lot and if you need to do a sistem restore always meke problems it take a lot of time to installed and more time to uninstaled, so I install the ESET Smart Security is better and you don't even notice that is there and it's very secure.
I bought the Targus CVR217 Neoprene Slip Case for 17" Notebooks (Black/Blue) and it's perfect for this Laptop and nice looking, but you can only put the laptop and the AC adapter, don't have to much space, so I bougth also the Targus TXL617 17 XL Notebook Backpack is large very large and you can put lots of stuff there also the Neoprene slip case fits.
I higly recomend the Sony VAIO VGN-AR760U/B is great..!!!
