Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - Never a Sony again.
If it were possible, I'd give this 0 stars. This is based on my unit (VGN-FS660) ever since it was new. Caveat: this review is based on facts, not emotions.
Pro's:
1) Nice screen
Con's:
1) Wireless internet is extremely slow, when it does decide to work. Wireless adapter switches on/off all the time so unable to enjoy a seamless internet experience.
2) Laptop appears slow, eventhough I have enough RAM, virus/malware/spyware protection, and the system has been optimized (including removal of all that unnecessary Sony junk software).

Rating: - You can grill a steak on it.......................heats on ! ! !
This is so sad, beacause when I got it, I was so excited that I finally had a sleek envy-worthy computer. I paid a lot of money, and as a student Im making do because I cant afford another one.
"Turning On the Grill"
The laptop worked perfectly for 1 year, then it started heating up, then the heat became uncomfortable to the touch, then it just heated up and 30 minutes later it would turn itself off. So now when I use it, I run it on low power and low screen light. Right off the bat, my headphone jack got busted and now two of the USBs don't work. Im down to ... Read More
Rating: - Unreliable!
This computer was fine for a while. Excellent picture clarity and quality, bright screen, good speakers for a laptop etc. BUT BEWARE, THEY BREAK RELENTLESSLY! I had a problem from the beginning, the sound stopped working, needed major repairs within 6 months of owning! Then Just after my extended warentee ran out the thing died all together! Out on nowhere the motherboard just crashed! This was after only two years of ownership on a pricey laptop. The battery life was TERRIBLE 1 hour tops! Customer support was unhelpful and frustrating. STAY AWAY FROM SONY VAIO!
Rating: - Not what I ordered.
I ordered this Sony Vaio VGN-FS660 on-line. I received a different model, instead I received a VGN-FS875P. I was trying to replace a laptop. I am just glad that all of my accessories still fit this model, but it is heavier, with different memory, speed, weight, etc. I was disappointed that I was not notified if the company was out of stock, or if this was just shody company policy. They must have assumed that this was an upgrade. I want the choice, not to have the choice made for me. Poor, very poor.
Rating: - Peachy
It is a good little machine, it is fast, it is easy to use. The only thing I dont like is the mouse is way too sensitive. But it is a great buy for the amount paid. Highly Reccommended!
