R. R. Weber ( Cambridge, UK ) This notebook is a little 'more expensive than Dell, Samsung, Toshiba, Asus, etc. However, I think the quality and style of Sony justifies the extra money. I am very happy with the experience of the computer that gives me . I also bought this laptop, because I had very good experiences with two laptops Sony Vaio. (I also have Toshiba, Dell and Samsung 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, this Sony style and build quality.
The keyboard is easy to use. My hands and brain have quickly accommodated to it and I can type fast on it without errors. In bed (where this notebook is now replacing my ipod touch for late night internet browsing), it is sometimes convenient to be able to browse using only one hand. The extra Fn key on the right hand side means I can easily do PgUp, PgDn, Home, End using my right hand alone. The track pad has just the right sensitivity, and I find that I can be very accurate with it.
While I still intend to my serious typing for work on my desktop, or SZ, this smaller notebook is great to use while watching tv, while in bed, or travelling. Some reviewers complain about the battery size, but I find it advantageous to have the battery lift the keyboard at an angle. The way the computer looks with the battery is not unattractive and the notebook and battery still fit within the matching Sony slip case.
The 1366 x 768 display means that videos and photos appear crisper than on other netbooks. However, the default text size appears smaller. If the text is too small for your eyes to read easily, then you can use an option in Windows 7 to increase the text size by 125%. If you do this then the text size appears similar to what you get with other notebooks.
The fan never shuts off. When I am using the notebook on my lap or table then the fan is sufficiently far from my ears that it does not irritate. But when I am lying in bed, with the computer resting on my chest and close to my face, the fan noise is a minor annoyance. The built-in speakers are sufficiently strong for me to watch films on my own, but not enough to fill a room with sound. The sound produced through the headphone jack 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 does not replace my Vaio SZ when I want to do serious computing (which has a Duo processor at 2.4 GHz). It 'a little' slow in navigation of web pages (because the processor, not the network speed). However, it fills a gap. And 'most powerful iPod and more portable than my 13 "SZ. The adapter is lightweight and small (approximately 1 x 0.75 x 2.5 inches). When not in use for travel is high on my bedside table (for listening to Internet radio or watching movies late at night).

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.

Robert L. Estes ( Nashville, TN USA ) I was with one of these finishes (brown) for about 6 weeks, and I must say it is a mixed bag, ultimately, disappointing for the price level of premiums. The physical appearance is very nice, in line with other VAIO models, and the screen resolution is excellent. The battery life allows you to change the keyboard sitting on a desk, so the swelling does not bother me, but the small chicklet keys and layout disturb many potential users, partly because a lot of netbooks with side-to - hand keyboards and larger, easier to key strokes. The small key "Shift" is particularly annoying - I am often struck by the next "Up" button, enter text that does not want to be. The memory-stick slot can be dedicated to ReadyBoost use while keeping open the SD slot, but there are only 2 USB connectors - there are many units in less than three.
Upgrade memory to 2GB ($ 40 extra, recommended for a netbook running Windows 7) is a thankless job that requires the keyboard to be removed for access to housing. I broke the ban on plastic when you do this, then the right side of the keyboard does not remain flat when repositioned until it fixes the break with Gorilla Glue - and probably cancel the guarantee. Another early problem: unless a separate "lock" tab on the battery is determined to move the unit or at least tilt the screen back can move the contacts sufficient to extinguish, requiring a cold reboot (and lose all data) . It is good when configured with 2 GB of memory and a 2 GB ReadyBoost drive.
If you are a Sony employee like me, is a better buy than the models published W111AX, but if you look more critically at these units, I probably would have bought one of the cheaper models full keyboard width Toshiba, HP and other companies.
