Hello everybody, i have some questions to other vaio users! My First notebook was the Sony Vaio Z600NE!!! REALLY GOOD MACHINE! and i would prefer some small nice device again! but i get this VGN-A215Z for a really good price ... but what happend? i have bought it 3.Jan.!!! And have to send it back in the middle of March!!! The DVD-RW/CD-RW was down! It is a liteon, so i do not like liteon at all .. but what i really want to know is if someone else have got similar problems with that drive?
Also why i can´t give passwords with big or small numbers or writings? (bios! With my Vaio Z600NE no problems at all!!!!)

Hope their are someone who can help me because if not i want to buy an apple!!!! Less weight! Longer life!!!! and it looks nearly as good as the Vaio!

Regards to all
Jessi

No problem to lock my VAIO with a password like these. But I have a PCG-FR.

i want to buy an apple!!!! Less weight! Longer life!!!!

I am not sure by buying some apple! But i think it is ok, looked to the "new" t-series ... it is very nice and small, but you have the main problem! TOOOO EXPANSIVE! 😄

Hi
I don't think you should give up on a machine just because you got me with a dud drive.

I recently bought a vaio 397xp and it died three days in, nothing happend apart from the little green power light coming on.
I sent it back and bought another one.

Sony on the whole build robust quality notebooks.

Get another of the same model and enjoy.

All the best

Hasan good point but it's once bitten twice shy sort of thing for some people.

@hasand you are joking aren´t you? I have 100% fallout with these drives and you really want from me that i bought it again?? I do not know now what is the status, but i need some much lighter and "better" notebook, for daily office and a little internet surfing! I do not need a laptop with 15" inches!

You need an ultra portable then, like the C1.
Yes it's a classic VAIO, and yes it's great, and they were better built in those days too!

Yes C1, it is sure a great machine, but did you see that price??? And say if i am wrong (just didn´t take a closer look) but it has no devices included? (OK external!!! But intern?) So I think an apple Pb 12" will be a good choice wouldn´t be?
