Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original colorful ultra-cool Sony VAIO FJ series laptop with 1GB RAM, 100GB disk, DVD writer, built-in webcam, etc. and all for Free! I got mine from this web site: awesomestufffree.com/laptop

For reasons best left unstated, I've been through three notebooks in 3 months. My first was a $2200 HP 'desktop replacement' that was a killer machine, but extremely heavy, very loud fan, and a full 45 minutes of battery life. The next was a $500 Compaq Presario V2405 that I'd say was the most useable of the 3 and an incredible value. I ended up with the Sony Vaio TX650 *only* because I intend to carry it with me on a European vacation this summer. I will be on trains, and just couldn't deal with the size and weight of the Compaq. This TX650 will be my GPS solution (with Microsoft AutoRoute), my photo vault, and way to keep in touch while on the road. It is absolutely perfect for this. Still, the keyboard is difficult to use, and the touchpad is scaring me with flakyness. The machine lacks some simple features found on the Compaq that make it a little nicer to use. Nonetheless, I absolutely love this thing, the size, weight, the clarity of the screen, the wireless, and let's not forget the SD slot on the front that will make transferring photos really easy. I don't care about watching videos or playing music. This is my new toy, and I really, really like it! All the negatives others have stated are probably true - I still like it!

I've got it for 3 months. It is a great ultraportable, yes... But it is SLOW man, slow... I actually added 1 GB RAM more, but it is still slow... Imagine that you have a comp. with 1.5 GB RAM and Pentium 4; you can expect a "normal" performance at least, right? I used SiSoft Sandra to understand the reason, and here it is: integrated video eats the system memory!!! And there is nothing to do except using an external graphics adapter (I have no idea how to do that). decreasing the resolution might work, but then the screen gets muddy. You cannot increase the refresh rate, only available rate is 60 Hz, by the way. so, actually, the only resolution you satisy is the highest one with 60 Hz, and there is nothing to do with that built-in video chip...
Another thing: If you cannot use the Cingular, then antenna is useless, and it is impossible to remove it. then it becomes something annoying...

Hace poco compré en Amazon.com un Sony Vaio TX 650 y fué más económico que comprándolo directamente en la Webpage de Sony.
Estoy muy contento, su bajo peso (tan solo 1.24 Kg.), su reducido tamaño y su delgadez, lo hacen perfeto para ser llevado a cualquier parte sin llamar la atención, dado que es casi como un cuaderno.
El tamaño de las teclas es perfecto, puedes escribir tranquila y fácilmente, como en un portátil de tamaño habitual. Al principio te hacen falta las teclas independientes de Page UP, Page Down, Inicio y Fin, pero rápidamente te adaptas al cambio.
La pantalla es super clara y tiene un shortcut para hacer zoom de la imágen, la única desventaja es que al hacerlo, se pierde la nitidez y no se puede configurar para valores de zoom definidos por el usuario.
Un punto en contra es que cuando está cerrado, la distancia entre la pantalla y el teclado es tan pequeña, que continuamente se unen y quedan marcas de ello en la pantalla.
El desempeño es muy bueno y la conectividad inalámbrica es excelente; gracias a su antena, la señal mejora sustancialmente, respecto a los Laptops que no la tienen.
Me gustaría que tuvieran puertos USB adicionales (solo trae dos, uno cubierto por una tapa), debido a ello tuve que comprar un Hub USB, para multiplicar los puertos disponibles y tener fáicl acceso a ellos.
Utilizando el optimizador de energía de Vaio, la duración de su batería es excelente, en muchas ocasiones ya ni siquiera es necesario llevar el cargador de voltaje a todas partes.
En conclusión es muy buen equipo portátil, te permite gran movilidad, autonomía y conectividad. En general, resultados muy positivos en la relación beneficio/costo.

Sony Vaio's are a defective product and should not be sold. Once you have a problem customer service/repairs/refunds are non existant and they repeatedly get you off the phone telling you that they will have someone call you back. Never yet a call back! DON'T buy the Sony Vaio and if you do or have please file a complaint with the BBB online.
