tien very nice, but the price is too high, and when I bought only a month, the price is changed to 10% below the price that I understood, I feel very sad

Richard T. Berman ( Minneapolis, MN USA ) I read all the comments made by customers Amazon and ended up purchasing the VAIO white. I already have a Netbook, a problem of negotiating the first basement of the 9 ", in particular, who taught me what I wanted, however, and Sony. Let me answer a series others expressed specific concerns. Lister, and towards the down the comments at the bottom of this review, but here is the long list of points up:
Battery -- (1) it is large and unconventional in shape, but I actually like it -- it tilts the netbook at a great angle; (2) battery life is as advertised -- over seven hours -- and that is terrific (my Dell lasted only two hours off a full charge).
Chip -- the 1.66 (rather than 1.6) is unusual among netbooks of this generation.
Fan motor -- it is just about ever-present, but it is low-tone and I easily got used to it; more important, it does its job, keeping the netbook cooler -- my Dell was hot to the touch and I couldn't do anything about it, except take it out of action, to cool it down.
Keyboard -- HUGE difference from Dell and many other brands; the VAIO keyboard is right-sized, has more keys in better locations, and are elevated from the deck, all making this keyboard much better.
The 250g hard drive easily accommodates a range of software, where my Dell struggled with its 80g.
Built-in camera is way better than the one is the Dell, one Skype with my son made that clear.
I haven't used the on-board slots for memory cards yet, but look forward to using them and am pleased they are there.
Resolution is great; on-board speakers are dreadful, but it does have high definition capability for headphones and external speakers.
Just so you know, the white color is more a seashell than white -- really nice, but cosmetic value only.
The downside -- (1) I love Windows 7, but wish I could upgrade to Home Premium; (2) biggest downer is the 1G limitation on memory -- with lots of software loaded it seems like it will drag a bit, but hasn't yet -- and besides, most netbooks are similarly limited.
Overall? Love it! Recommendation -- do it once and do it right -- buy this one.

R. R. Weber ( Cambridge, UK ) I am very satisfied with the personal computing experience to me on this notebook. I think the quality and style justifies its higher price. I also bought this laptop, because I had very good experiences with two laptops Sony Vaio. (I also Toshiba, Dell and HP laptops). I like the fact that the function keys and the software operating on the VPC-W121AX / T in the same way on my VGN-SZ670NC. I also spent time playing with netbooks in stores. In my opinion, Sony style and build quality.
The keyboard is easy to use. My hands and brain were quickly greeted me and can quickly this type without errors. In the bed (if this device is now to replace my iPod Touch to surf the internet late at night), it is sometimes easy to navigate with one hand. Fn key on the right side of the road for additional resources, I can easily PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, using my right hand. The trackpad is the feeling of pleasure and I think I can be very precise with it.
This notebook is great to use while watching TV in bed or on the road. Some customers complain about the size of the stack, but I find it useful to increase the battery of the keyboard at an angle. The way in which the computer looks at the battery is not unattractive and the laptop and the battery still fall if Sony does not panties. The display of 1366 x 768 means that the videos and images look sharper than other netbooks. However, the default size of the text is smaller. If it is too small for your eyes to read easily, then you can use the option in Windows 7 to increase the text size by 125%. If you follow these recommendations, the size of the text looks like what you get with other phones.
The fan is turned off. When I use the laptop on your lap or a table, then the fan is quite far from my ears, that does not irritate. But when I'm in bed with the computer on his chest and near my face, the fan noise is a minor annoyance. Speakers are strong enough for me to watch movies on mine, but not enough to fill a room with sound. The sound through headphones is very good.
Windows 7 Starter virtually the same as the Home Premium which I have on my computer. The features are not really omit essential. However, I upgraded to Home Premium on my laptop looks exactly the same as my other computers running Windows 7. Also, I increased the memory to 2GB (which lasted about 5 minutes). None of these updates is really necessary. If it was not possible, I'd still be happy.
My W121AX/T is not going to replace my Vaio SZ when I want to do type an entire research paper or do advanced computing (the SZ has a duo 2.4GHz processor). It is a bit slower than my SZ in browsing web pages. However, it fills a gap. It is more (much) powerful than an ipod touch and more portable than my SZ. The AC power adaptor is lightweight and tiny (about 1 x 0.75 x 2.5 inches). When I am not using it for travelling it will be great on my bedside table (for listening to internet radio or watching late night films). Highly recommended.

keith caramelli ( Austin, TX ) I got this for my wife so I can not say I use it a lot. My wife is very happy. I would say that the battery that comes with it, which was described as a tumor in some other tests are fine, but does not seem that much larger than batteries to other companies Netbook with a life expectancy similar. I went to Fry before I bought this netbook and looked, and everyone seemed to have batteries that were large and safe if you wanted a self-similar. I thought I would find offensive and almost did not buy because of the reviews, but I'm glad I did and I think that "unity is always interesting, useful and portable with great battery.
