 Absolute junk April 17, 2010

What a piece of trash.
It broke after less than three months and Sony refuses to fix it under warranty.
Flimsy junk. Stay away unless you enjoy burning hundred dollar bills.
Also it is noisy and the tumor battery is awkward and ugly. Even before it broke I was not impressed.
 If only the battery were flat... March 14, 2010

Just want to say what i dont like about this netbook: I bought this netbook as a gift for my wife even though I had read the negeative reviews particularly on the unpleasant bulging of the battery. I bought it partly because it has an attractive feminine colour. On first usage, i confirmed how uncomfortable this netbook is on the laps since it has such an awkward balance due to the protruding battery. It also wont lie flat on a table surface and could cause disconfort for someone already use to the flat lieing netbooks.
It would have been a much better product if it had a flat battery that would also allow the screen to be opened 180 degrees.

I was looking for many branches until I decided to buy the Sony Vaio Netbook.
As Advantages I can mention the fashionable design with excellent image (the higher Video resolution of the market for those kind of machines), Long life battery, 250GB Hard Drive (the biggest of the market at this price).
It's absolutely recommended to upgrade the RAM Memory from 1 to 2GB by buying a 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Memory, and a Memory stick in order to be able to use the ReadyBoost Memory (option anly allowed though Windows 7). Taking this actions you are able to have up to 3GB RAM memory, which allowed you to work with two or three heavy applications at the same time without delays.
Regarding the RAM memory upgrade I must say that it's not easy to do it by yourself, but after watching at a video in youtube for this specific model, this activity becomes relatively easy.
As disadvantages I have to definitely mention the small keyboard. It's in some way uncomfortable to type on those small keys.
So, as conclusion, I continuos thinking the Vaio 121 is one of the best netbooks option in the market for the price you can find in Amazon.

This is the newest model (W211AX) of Sony's Netbooks and has a extended battery life. While others may complain of the battery- I like the fact that it elevates the netbook up towards you. Depending on the surfing you do- you may have a bit less battery life than advertised. I ordered the pink Vaio and couldn't be more pleased. It was everything I expected it to be and then some. The Track pad is reasonably sized and much larger than most. The screen clarity is amazing. My only complaint is where the speakers are situated for the volume. I simply resolved this issue on my own and use my ipod head phones when listening to sound. To the lower right of screen you may also adjust zoom level. Your options are 100, 125, and 150. If you do increase the zoom level- You do loose a bit of viewing and must scroll from side to side. The keyboard buttons are a bit elevated and makes it easier for typing. The only other downfall that I could say would be that the netbook only comes with Windows 7 Starter. With this program starter version you are unable to change desktop background. Bummer... I love that I can install my SD card and download my photos too. Perfect for web surfing, downloading pics, typing, emails, etc.
AMAZING LITTLE NETBOOK!!!!!!!!
SONY CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THEIR APPEARANCE, MODELS INTERIOR, AND STAND BY THE SONY NAME WITH EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!
