 DO NOT GET THIS COMPUTERAug 21, 2010
Today I got the phone call from the tech shop where I dropped my computer off saying that it is completely a dead item. I'm no techie, but here's what happened.
I've had my computer for 2 years now. It was brand new when I bought it and I've babied it like crazy. For a Sony brand I was shocked how OFTEN little problems would crop up that would need a professional's help to solve. And this final PROBLEM went like this:
The computer worked just fine, no problems, one night. Then the very next morning it would not start. There was a beeping code, but a completely blank screen. We thoroughly checked the video cards and hard drives. After not being able to fix it ourselves, I sent it into the computer repair shop where they had to call Sony techs and FINALLY got a confirmed answer that it would be an $800 repair and there was truly nothing else to do. The entire computer is now un-salvageable. However, Sony techs said that they have definitely seen this same problem (whatever it was) before.
I'm sickened. So much money wasted. I am livid about the lack of help Sony support offers. I have spent countless hours on the phone trying to get ANYONE to help me out.
Please don't make the mistake I did. Even though these all-in-ones are so pretty and in theory a great idea... once ONE thing is messed up with it... the entire computer is worthless.
 Beautiful JourneyFeb 12, 2010
With technology advancing so well, some folks posting still complain about simple things. The Sony VAIO is a beautiful conversation piece and stands out in any home or office setting. The quality ranks among the best and I'm in love with my All-IN-ONE! All of my DVD's play so well and without any problems. The best part about all of is a lack of chords hanging around. I love not having chords in the way and being pulled! Go for it!

RUN! I'd give this no starts if I could!Oct 30, 2008
This computer is a POS! The Sony support is a POS! The hook up for TV is a POS!
I hate this computer! Don't waist your money! Buy anything else but this!
I will never buy another Sony computer ever!
11/30/08 Update:
I was in the market for a new desktop and choose this over an Apple based on the built in TV turner.
I received it, set it up and had it working and then one day the Sony Vaio updater crashed my system. I had to system restore (not windows, sony) and everything was fine but the TV Tuner wouldn't work with MS Media Center anymore.
I called support and after several calls, trial, downloads of drivers they determined it was a faulty tuner and sent a guy out to replace it.
Well the tech couldn't get the "new" one to work after 5 hours on trying on his own and being on the phone with Sony's techs. So they said ship it back for repair.
A week later we got it back and the log said "diagnostics ran fine, you need to have your computer hooked up to the internet for the turner to work."
So needless to say, their tech guys are morons cause in my paperwork I sent in, I explained the problem and told how I had to get on the internet to download the forms to fill out to send to him.
So I paid extra for a "feature" to not work and I'm getting crappy service on this crappy product.
Personally, I'll pretty sure I'll never by another Sony anything again!
If you don't trust me, just ask yourself why there is so many referbs of these things on the web! (Something I wish I asked prior to spending my money with Amazon to buy this!)
New expensive desktop that will not play HDTVOct 15, 2008
My husband recently tried to buy us a new Sony desktop and a pair of hybrid (analog and digital) TV tuners from Sony. It was the worst electronics decision we have ever made. Our new Sony VGC-LT29U would not play HDTV. Our local cable company rewired our house, twice, tried at least 3 cable cards. I called Sony for 2 months, asking them to please fix my new expensive computer. Every time I switched from a digital to an analog channel, or the opposite, my picture would freeze, and then show me the error message "tuner not found." Sony blamed it on software incompatibility, and after 2 months I sent the whole mess back to Sony. They are now, of coarse, refusing to refund our money. Basically this desktop is not compatible with the tuners that Sony sold with it as a packaged deal. the above is about a new Sony VGC-LT29U running Vista Ultimate
a pair of ATI TV Wonder digital cable tuners model A636 "certified for Windows Vista"
networked with a Net gear WNR 3500 router compatible according to the Microsoft website
the cable modem from Time Warner is by Arris
If you do not care about HDTV, you may like it, as far as I could tell the other programs and applications worked.
