Sony Vaio A297XP

Meanwhile, I own my Sony VAIO VGN-A297XP. Been more than a year I um purchased in November 2004 at the Greef in 's Hertogenbosch. Very good service at that thing! At the time of turn is equal to the quality of the display. Enormously good contrast. In the evening do you put, no light anymore because he lit up your whole room and in the summer you can sit outside in the sun and then you see enough up on the screen. I have seen that none dead pixel. the design of the A-series is beautiful, sleek and ergonomic. The edges are rounded so you nooits pinch or cut your wrists. The battery is not hugely long. Due to the 17-inch big screen and the amount of light he sucks brightness 5 (highest) in one hour the battery is empty. On the lowest setting (1) he does so in 2.5 hours. That's not quite top, but that does not interest me. I have 95% of the time the adapter hang from and do not see this problem than as a negative point. The standard configuration comes with a 80gig 4200rpm drive and 512MB of memory. These two CBs I do see as a negative point. Both make the laptop slowly, while still a fast centrino package with 1.8 gig processor inside. Meanwhile, I have also updated the 80gig 4200rpm to 7200rpm 80gig drive and there into language 1024MB in. Now everything is also wonderfully fast. I got the tip of VAIO users to be extended (to 250 euros). your warranty to 2 years I'm not even need to use it and hope that nooits do. But know if it happens that I do not bullshit. I have updated the disk and the memory. If you look closely at the warranty conditions there like, "When repairing the laptop must be sent in standard configuration Sony is not responsible for any hardware added by other companies.". I've literally translated, "Shit, there's something wrong with my flaptop 4200rpm drive it out and send only 512MB..." Let me hope that it may never come to that. Should I turn fifty screws hunt out! nutshell: An awesome laptop. Never want another ... except that I'm going to get the newest version next year Oct / ​​Nov and someone else a favor do with this topper + another year warranty
