Sony VAIO VGN-N385EBrand: Sony Binding: Personal Computers
Excelent product [Posted on 2008-01-07] I bought this product mainly because of its price.
My surprise was that (even running on vista) the laptop is quite fast and reliable.
Great PC, especially for the price! [Posted on 2008-01-18] The PC works great, is fast, and looks good too. The screen is gorgeous.
My only concern is the weight is concentrated in the rear of the computer, so when you try to lift the screen, it tilts the computer instead of opening.
The PC though is OUTSTANDING.
Also, to all those worried about Vista, I haven't had a problem. Everything that was in XP is in Vista, it just looks different and may be different to access. I find with some patience and an open mind, it is very nice and easy.
Beautiful and powerful notebook [Posted on 2008-01-19] I've had this laptop for a month now and it has been great, I would suggest upgrading the RAM to 2 GB for Vista but other than that I have really enjoyed this laptop. One of my favorite things about it is the keyboard actually, it is designed to be quieter/softer and its nice that that is something Sony thought about in a cheaper laptop. I got this laptop on sale for $750.00 and you can't beat that price for what you're getting.
A Great affordable laptop [Posted on 2008-02-16] I ordered this computer a while back. I have been using it for several months as a student for school. The hardware on this computer is excellent, but the first thing that I did was remove vista.
When you have all the correct XP drivers it runs XP very well. I am currently dual-booting with Ubuntu Gusty and Windows XP professional. Everything works like it should.
There are a few things about this notebook that I don't like. There are only 2 usb ports. Which can easily be worked around if you have a separate $10 hub. And it is difficult to open as the weight of the notebook is closer to the hinge so when you lift up the cover, you have to use two hands.
However I can't really complain, when I was looking for a notebook I wanted a harddrive over 100GB, a nice screen, a dvd burner, and a core2 duo processor. This thing serves those purposes very well.
Great Item!!! [Posted on 2008-09-28] Works great! Exactly as Described. But needed the memory upgrade, after that it was perfect!
