Summary: faulty adaptor
Comment: Bought this 6 month ago but the ac adaptor went bad two times already. For the first time sony replaced it. Now when the second one failed, I was told that I have to buy the adaptor myself. It is a shame sony can't get the ac adaptor right.

Summary: Best bargain available?
Comment: The Sony VAIO VGN-NR270N/S does not come with many of the fancy things laptops bring today (no integrated camera, bluetooth, etc), so it won't be appealing to many. But it is the only way to have an incredible Intel Core 2 Duo Processor if you only have 600$. If you install 4 gb ram for another 100$, you have right there a top pc for the years to come without spending a fortune.
A big plus: wow, sony screens are the best
A big minus: It really has an awful amount of crapware loaded, as other reviews say. So do not hope to be enjoying the first day, you will spend it with the remove programs utility.

Summary: Great value laptop
Comment: The set up was easy and the laptop video display is very crisp. This unit may not be the best choice for those wanting the top of the line performance and features, but it does provide a great value for performance ratio for anyone who needs a laptop for everyday use.

Summary: Great computer once you take off half the built-in software.
Comment: Great computer at a very reasonable price. It took me a couple of days to erase everything that came 'stock' and replace it with software that worked and didn't look like a bad video-game. Everything was a 'free-trial' that would eventually quit and try to get you to buy it. Great computer polluted with garbage! Resolution is awesome. Sets up wireless network connection really easily.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Value!
Comment: Before writing a review, It is very important to keep in mind how much are you paying for a Laptop and your expectations should be based on that fact. I bought mine for $599 and I wasn't expecting the fastest or the lightest laptop in the market, I was expecting a Laptop with the essentials for my everyday needs. This Laptop by far exceeded my expectations, The display is amazing, movies and pictures look great in this computer. The overall performance is decent, I strongly recommend to increase the RAM to 2 Gb, this will make the windows vista to run faster and will make a drastic improvement in performance.
The case of this notebook is solid and scratch resistant, this baby weights around 6 pounds and is not difficult to carry around. The battery last approximately 2.45 hrs depending on the application audio and video will demand more power.
The Wi-Fi works smooth and with very good range, at the Kennedy airport I had better signal strength that other more expensive laptops. The DVD burner works pretty good also, I can burn a full DVD in less than 3 minutes.
The feature that I like most from this computer is its beauty, this is a laptop that will turn heads and eyes over you and everyone would think that you have paid a lot more money.
Bottom line, If you are looking for a great Value and for you the looks are important this is an excellent choice, however if you expect a $600 laptop to perform like a $2,000 buy something else.

With a soft and warm fabric-like texture and clear embossed VAIO logo, NR-Series stands proud as a notebook with style.The unique dimpled surface is very comfortable to hold when on the move and offers a stylish alternative to the smoothness of most laptops.Its sleek 'floating' design makes a striking first impression and enhances the natural thinness of the chassis.NR-Series perfectly complements natural elements in the home and your individuality. These highly distinctive notebooks use a dimple molding design to create a weave pattern that recalls the softness and warmth of clothing.All your favorite movies, home videos and photos are brought vividly to life through high color X-black screen technology.
