Discount Sony VAIO T Series SVT14127CXS 14-Inch Touchscreen Ultrabook

Customer Ratings:

This is my first Sony Vaio laptop. I have owned a few laptops before, and I have to say I really like this one. First, the SSD drive allows the computer to boot up within 3 seconds, best feature of all. The size and weight of the laptop are perfect for traveling and carrying. It's true that it's not as thin as some of the other 'UltraBooks' out there, but this has a dvd-rom and you can expand the memory and replace the battery. So you do sacrifice a little bit, but it's worth it. The touch screen is a nice touch, and Sony gives you a ton of software to use that can be helpful for graphic art and media design.

Some things I'm not crazy about it, but can live with are:

-The battery is a little weak, but I don't travel that much so I'm not totally bothered by it.

-Some of the keys are a little oddly placed. Home, End, Page Down/Up

-No direct access volume button, except for in the function keys

Turns on and loads quickly. Windows 8 and the touchscreen take a little getting used to. Also, I went from 15.6 inch to 14 inch, so the keyboad took some getting used to as well. I didn't expect to miss the backlit keybord so much.

As far as performance, it the wireless network adapter is glitchy. At first it would work fine, then every hour or so it's drop my WLAN connection, and automatically reconnect after about 1 min. Annoying! Took me 2 weeks and about 10 fixes before I got it to stop dropping out for no reason.

Now that it's fixed, it works flawlessly though. No complaints.

I am an engineering student and bought this computer for college next year. I have had positive experiences with Sony products in the past and was hoping for good results with this one. I should have heeded the two other reviews on here warning of wifi issues, because I had the same problem. Out of the box, the wifi worked for about an hour, then stopped working. I updated drivers to no avail, and even re-imaged the hard drive to try to fix this. No matter what I tried, the wifi would continue to drop out after a minute of connection. Perhaps if I spent another two weeks looking for a fix as another reviewer did I might have eventually found an answer. However, it's up to you whether you want to preserve your sanity looking for a solution. I have since returned this computer and am typing this from an ASUS S400ca DB51t, which is running without any hitches so far.

The fan is also quite loud, the sound is usable but not pleasant, and finding a proper viewing angle for the glossy screen is frustratingly fickle. If you are looking for a quality product that runs out of the box, look elsewhere.

Honest reviews on Sony VAIO T Series SVT14127CXS 14-Inch Touchscreen Ultrabook

Great laptop! Visual appeal is A+. Aluminum frame feels sturdy and well built, screen feels solid, and hinges do not feel flimsy. Optical drive does feel somewhat flimsy when extended but is to be expected in a "ultrabook". Boot time 14 sec, SSD (98 gb available) limited but fast. I have owned numerous laptops (HP, Samsung, Toshiba, Dell, and Apple) and this Sony ranks in the top three. Read other reviews talking about finiky wifi, Have had no issues. Although, did update BIOS and wifi driver immediately upon arrival. Only gripe, windows 8 needs some improvement. Touch screen is perfect addition but limited by windows 8 intricacies.

Pros:

Fast (boot time, transfer rate)

Amazing Design

Price

SSD

optical drive

USB 3.0

Cons:

limited ports (one USB 3.0)

Ivy Bridge (no Haswell)

1366_x_768 resolution

no dedicated volume buttons!

Shallow keyboard ( getting used to it)

Overall, Great laptop!

I bought this for $400. I don't think you can probably do much better than this for the price. It's very light and has pretty solid build quality. Very thin.

I'm an IT guy and I often carry this instead of my work laptop on trips because its lighter and boots nearly instantly when an additional mSATA card, which isn't included, is installed in the mSATA slot and Windows is installed directly to it. I highly recommend techies adding an mSATA card as it will make this perform like a $700+ laptop.

First of all, I have used a lot of laptops professionally, dissassembled many laptops so many times.

Fujitsu siemens

Asus A6jc

Asus G73jh A2

Dell Latýtude E6410

Packard bell NAV05

Acer 54series

These are my previous and current laptops. But only this one has stupidly placed hardwares and cheap palmrest (case) whose nails were broken in the first hdd replacement trial. Then while right corner nail which hold keybord was also damaged and keyboard is making noise during pressing top right corner letters.

If you want to buy this and just use. Do not dissassemble to replace RAM or any of the hardwares, especially harddisk.

This is my dissapointment.

When you look at the performance, laptop is doing good job with W8 and 128 V300 SSD (yes, I broke the nails but managed to swap to SSD). Startup is around 6-8 seconds.

WEI

CPU 6.5

RAM 7.2

VGA1 5.1

VGA2 6.3

HDD 7.9

If I don't destroy laptop physically, I am planning to use it for a long time due to its performance.

Edit: Additions

Battery life seems good. Wifi is on, brightness is @max and couple of episodes are downloaded and watched during cycle. It lasts around 5 hours.

It comes with 1 month McAfee and Office 365 subscription.

CPU fan isn't starting working till CPU is overloaded since CPU is consuming only 17watts. Therefore it is very quite. Even the fan is working, it is working slower than usual.

I didn't see any heat issue. Only the section where fan sits is heating slightly but it is difficult to feel from keyboard.

For these positive reasons, I have changed rate to 4 stars.

Reviews of TOSHIBA Satellite L505D-LS5010 Notebook PC - AMD Athlon II

Customer Ratings:

Pros

Cheap price (460.00 for mine with shipping)

Dual Core processor

4gb DDR2

Windows 7 x64

Plenty of inputs, but lacks a modem (shouldnt matter for much, but con for me since it is a work computer)

Cons

A bit weak in the graphic's department (Fine, unless you plan to use this for gaming)

rather weak battery life (Lowest brightness + Eco Mode gets me 2 1/2 hrs)

Does not come with Driver or restore disk!

I bought this laptop looking for something cheap and powerful, and this thing has power aplenty. Boots in around 20 seconds. It can handle WoW at max resolution, even in Dalaran without chugging, so it is capable of doing some modest gaming. If your like me and looking for a powerful laptop for under 500 dollars, I really cant recommend this laptop enough. I am starting a job as a field networking engineer, so having my own laptop was a must. I had to buy an external 56k to USB modem and a USB to DB-9 Serial converter, but I really didnt expect to find a laptop that had such old technologies standard anyway, but it is worth noting. The battery life may prove to be an issue during long class sessions or long nights on site, but at around 2 hours, it is satisfactory.

Pros : Ram, cpu, and hard drive compliment each other well. Integrated video card is impressive: Rise of Legends and Age of Empires 3 run very well with settings at 3/4 of the max. Win7 Premium was a welcome addition (I had thought basic would certainly be installed.) Very light and reasonably quiet. Screen and keyboard take some getting used to (both are wider than standard), but are well-suited to most tasks.

Cons: Almost all the bundled software is useless and adds a significant amount of overhead to usage. Overall I spent 3 hours uninstalling and updating. Windows 7 is definitely the best Windows OS so far, but severely lags behind the most popular Linux distros, namely Ubuntu and Fedora, for everyday use and productivity.

The battery life is average: 2 to 4 hours, depending on how you use it (however it's not a big issue to me.)

I have always liked Toshiba in that they keep adding more features to their laptops! This one is no different. The dual core technology enables this machine to multi-task on a whole new level. The wide screen allows for enjoyable movie/TV watching. I also like the windows media center addition. This laptop is very versatile when compared to those of equal value.

I've had this computer for about a month and it seems fine so far. The touchpad is great, keyboard and screen are adequate but won't blow you away. The touchscreen works really well and is actually convenient sometimes. This computer is vastly superior to the $480 Acer that I bought from Amazon and returned the next day.

I have a desktop and another laptop besides this one, but they are really old and their wireless capabilities are not great. I bought this one mainly to be able to work wirelessly on Microsoft Office software, emails, and browsing the internet. It runs great! The only thing that is not great is that I failed to research for a disc drive … I am NOT "tech savy", so when I say disc drive I mean a place to put DVDs or CDs. This is a huge drawback if you want to burn CDs/DVDs, or even just play a DVD.

Another thing I'm not a fan of is the keyboard. The keys are super spaced out and you really have to hit them to work. They DO work, I'm just not used to having to follow through so much.

The touchscreen is a plus, I'm still getting used to Windows 8, and all in all, it's perfect for working at home on the couch :)

Nice computer, Windows 8 will take a little getting used to. I bought this to run Google Sketchup for product design and to run a 3D printer. I haven't connected it to the printer yet, still awaiting delivery on that, but I'll update the review after I get that going.

Touchscreen is nice, although I haven't really used that feature much.

A windows update took about an hour last night. I'm not sure if that's a performance issue of the machine, or just a sucky Microsoft thing.

Machine seems to run great for browsing and email.

Best HP ENVY m6-1125dx 15.6" Laptop - 3rd Gen. Intel-Core i5-3210M 8GB Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this product on Black Friday at Best Buy for $499.99. I am glad that I didn't pay the price listed. Overall the computer is great, but there are a few things that bother me. It's a Windows 8 computer, and sometimes when I drag my finger across the touch pad, it sends me back to the previous app that I had open off of the main screen. I can easily get back to what I was doing but it shouldn't happen to begin with. Physically, the black surrounding the screen pops when I move it (like when I am adjusting the screen forward and backwards, I don't just randomly squeeze my computer).

The computer is very fast and it's taken a little bit to get used to since I am going from a Windows 7 to a Windows 8. I haven't figured out how to put Microsoft on the desktop (or any icon on to the desktop) but I am sure I will figure that out sooner or later. The sound on this is great (especially compared to my old Acer computer) and I find myself only having it halfway and it's still a little loud for my taste! I didn't have any trouble setting up wireless or Microsoft Defender (the Windows 8 version of Microsoft Essentials) but Norton did get in the way from setting it up at first. There are a lot of available apps that you can put on the front screen, a lot of them being free!!

I found it strange that all of the function keys are opposite from what I am used to; for example: before I would press F5 and the page would refresh, but now I have to press FN F5 for it to refresh and the other function (the backlit keyboard on and off) is the first function. I hope that makes sense!

The keyboard is easy to type on, and the letters aren't having any problem with sticking. They are soft in a way and it's very comfortable.

I set up my computer so that when I unlock it, I have to swipe my finger on the scanner and I haven't had any problems with that either. It's kind of fun having such a personal computer!

I would suggest this product for someone else.

Best Deals for HP ENVY m6-1125dx 15.6" Laptop - 3rd Gen. Intel-Core i5-3210M 8GB

Cons:

I have owned many HP laptops in my day. It just ends up happening. I do not like that they put in a bunch of HP software that I never use and perpetually gets in my way. Also, the first unit I purchased had some weird glitch where every 65 second the DVD drive would pop open. However, now that I have a working one I like it so much I felt the need to review it. Also, this computer is trying really hard to be an Apple product. It's silver shell and black back lit keyboard echo that of a Macbook. However, it is light and feels like a cheaper version of the apple product. Finally, there is a movement to change the design of the arrow keys so that left and right buttons are full sized but up and down buttons are half sized. I use these buttons all the time and the half sized buttons are annoying.

So enough of the negatives. What are the things that make this a four star product?

1. It is a cheaper product. It costs over 50% less than an apple product. I love the price. And I think for what is paid the laptop offers a lot.

2. Backlit keyboard. It is a perk I have been waiting for. they seems to usually be reserved for ultrabooks. It is nice to see the price point drop on this feature.

3. I am not much of a computer "guts" kind of guy. I just want the computer to do what I want it to. I do not need to know all the inside stuff. I do know that the audio quality is good and I am able to run my PC games well on it without issue. I have heard reviews saying the screen is cheap but I have no complaints. It is higher quality than the laptop it replaced and for that i am grateful. I do not think the average user will feel cheated when it comes to the display quality.

Overall, I just like it. It works well and I feel comfortable using it.

Honest reviews on HP ENVY m6-1125dx 15.6" Laptop - 3rd Gen. Intel-Core i5-3210M 8GB

I bought this laptop on sale at Best Buy about six months ago. My old desktop PC was dying, and I decided to go with a single computer for both home use and travel. The HP Envy M6 had the specs I wanted, and even though I didn't want Windows 8, I'm learning to use it. So far, it's been a great computer, except for one serious problem the screen failed after only a few weeks. Since the laptop was still under warranty, I took it to Best Buy, and they returned it to HP. The repairs were made, and the laptop was returned to me eight days later, which is pretty good service.

I like most of the features of the laptop, but the one that stands out most is the backlit keyboard. My eyesight isn't the best, but the backlighting makes the keys very visible, so much so that I don't know how I ever got along without this feature. The USB 3.0 ports are great, and I've replaced some of my older USB 2.0 devices to take advantage of the greater speed of USB 3.0. My wife has an older HP laptop that lacks the backlit keys and USB 3.0, so I know how handy both of those features are.

I'm running MS Office 2007, Google Chrome, and other miscellaneous software with no problems. The laptop boots very quickly, and I have to thank HP for not loading it up with crapware like some manufacturers do. The Beats Audio has good sound for a laptop, but I usually use earbuds when I'm listening to music. Weighing just over five pounds, the laptop isn't much of a burden for traveling, and the case seems sturdy enough.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the HP Envy M6 laptop. It has the computing power and speed of many desktops, and I'm enjoying using it as my primary computer.

Customer Ratings:

I usually don't write good review, only bad ones.

THis laptop is everything a stylized geek deserve. The outside is flawless, very well build compared with my previews laptops a Asus G51J and Alienware. It is really quiet even with the two internal fans. Lightweight as a tablet. The monitor is the best I have seen on a laptop (OK! the retina display is amazing!), the lighted keyboard is neat as well as the touch pad with the same APPLE-MAC gestures, it works perfect with no glitches or delays. I do record videos and screen-casts and the quality of the mic recording is really good, also the web cam. The sound is ok and when you connect the included subwoofer it is something else!. The aluminium finishes are beautiful.

Internally the machine is a monster!!! I compile Objective-C and Java code like nothing, I edit videos in second with no delay. Big files on adobe Photoshop or RAW professional pictures opens instantly. I can run back processes like a http server and 20 others BIG programs with no problem. The RAM is fast, and not even say the SSD hard drives.

This is something cool. It has WiDi, I had no idea what was that and now I use it every day. The Ethernet wireless is really sophisticated and with harmony with the Intel i7 processor it broadcast wirelessly video in 1080p to my TV (almost no delay). The Bluetooth antenna performs well and I really haven't needed more than the three USB included.

I am a heavy gamer and the video card is every I need for long multiplayer high demand games. I get 250 FPS stable running COD4 on high settings.

My wife got a DELL XPS 13 Ultrabook for $2,228.96 and that is a piece of shit compared with this beauty. Just to tell you, the DELL XPS 13 Ultrabook doesn't even have HDMI, can you imagine??? for that price??? DELL SUCKS HARD!!!

In conclusion your friends, attendees and co-works are going to envy the design of your machine (this one); your enemies on your multiplayer game are gonna get numb with your performance, and you boss or clients are going to get happy with your effectiveness.

The battery runs up to 3.5 hours

THE BAD: I don't like the fact that I can't change the RAM because the slot is not the generic SO-DIMM. The hard drives gets full easily.

This laptop is the best on the market for the price.

I have used it during the last 6 months. I didn't rush for reviewing.

The product at first seemed a little sketchy, but not to worry. Adorama Camera is on Asus' list of certified resellers. Therefore you don't have to worry about warranty issues. The product when ordered shipped within the time frame, actually early. When it arrived, there was no damage to the boxes. There was one big box that contained bubble wrap surrounding another box inside. Inside this box, was the Asus Laptop box, and the Google Nexus 7 Box. Both were in top condition. The laptop itself is the Asus UX51VZA model. In the Asus box, it contained, the laptop, power cable, mini-vga to VGA dongle, the mini-usb to USB dongle, and the external subwoofer. Everything seems to be in order! I'm open to answering questions. I highly recommend purchasing this bundle. Not only is it a good deal, the laptop itself is amazing, MACBOOK KILLER status I would say.

The Laptop: Is amazing and everything I expected. It's super fast with a 3 second boot time and runs everything very smoothly. A word of caution, I tried to downgrade the OS to Windows 7 and not all the drivers were compatible.

The Nexus 7 Tablet: I feel like this was just a throw in. The newer versions are all minimum 16GB but the one included is 8GB.

The Package: Comes with the laptop, chargers, manuals, Nexus tablet AND SUBWOOFER. I called the seller, manufacturer and Amazon and they all told me that this package did not come with it because it was not specified. When I received the package I was pleasantly surprised that it did and amazed at how little people knew of their own products.

HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8560w (B2A78UT#ABA) - Review

Customer Ratings:

I have one from work and it's a really nice laptop. However, the touchpad mouse is a little too big. My palm keeps touching it and my cursor skips to different locations while I'm typing. I had to cover it with a piece of cardboard so that I could type normally. Other than that, this is a really nice laptop. Lots of horsepower and quick to boot.

Update: I was able to remove the cardboard and disable the touch pad with a double-tap on the top left corner of the touch pad. The only problem was that I had to have the drivers installed to allow me to do that. My company removed a lot of packages in their attempt to make the laptop secure. Once it was installed, I turned off the touch pad and can now use the laptop without issues.

Buy Samsung RC512-S01 Core i7-2630M 2GHz 6GB 750GB DVD±RW NVIDIA

Customer Ratings:

I bought my laptop in late April or early May of 2011 on EBay (brandnew). As advertised, it boots up in seconds. The picture is crisp clear. The numeric keyboard is a plus. But from the very start I had problem with power button. Sometimes it would start and shut down within a second. As time passed it happened more frequently and then it would happen three times before I could get it started. I called and sent it to Samsung (they provided UPS label); they returned it stating it had been fixed. It was not. I sent it back again asking for a different laptop with similar specifications. They refused to replace it; but, they fixed it. Within a few months the problem reappeared. Of course, each time I had to move all the data to an external disc and remove all my passwords and reconfigure it upon return. I have a washer/dryer from Samsung and the dryer has the same problem. I am very disappointed. No more Samsung products for me.

This laptop worked perfectly for the first year I had it. After that, it started having a host of problems. It is unable to run games that it used to run perfectly. It randomly restarts. It will freeze up on certain web pages, without fail, and have to be manually turned off and on. It keeps overheating. AND it keeps shocking me, which I know is not good for the computer! Tried to talk with Samsung, but ran into a major problem...there isn't a serial number on the laptop! Of course, customer service doesn't believe me and is treating me like I'm an idiot, but I can clearly see where the serial number is supposed to be and isn't. They have promised to call me back in 2-5 business days several times, and weeks later I still have not heard back from them...will not be buying a samsung product again.

This is a wonderful laptop. It's thin and light but feels extremely solid. The retina screen is absolutely gorgeous to look at. The only down side to retina is that many websites don't have high enough resolution images so they end up looking a little blurry. I just hope those sites increase their image resolutions because the retina display is truly amazing... it makes all my photos look a lot better :)

The machine is very fast with most apps opening instantly. Even heavy weight ones like XCode. The battery life is very good; I haven't really gotten to test if it gets the advertised 9 hours though.

The built in SD card reader is handy. The only thing I miss is an ethernet connection (you can get a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter). I rarely need it but there have been times.

All the stuff I've come to love with Apple in a convenient package. The free copy of Numbers, Pages and keynote are nice too. I highly recommend.

This last two years I've had this laptop have exceeded my expectations but I'm not surprised, I have a good past with Acer computers. I have a desktop as well. I have noticed its gotten slower but probably from my own use. I use this daily and it's almost always on. 75% of the time plugged in. I can still unplug it and get 2 1/2-3 hours of use on battery saver mode (always been this way). It can handle a lot at once but it's not a high end gaming laptop. I can play Sims 3, with no mods, on moderate settings. It plays older games flawlessly though and runs photoshop very well. The only thing I hate is the keyboard. Junk gets under the keys and its hard to clean, which is why I gave it 4 stars. I'm a busy mom to a toddler and three hairy cats so it doesn't take long for stuff to gunk up my keys. Overall I'm happy with my choice to get it. I'm writing this review from it now =]

Cheap Samsung Series 7 14" Core i5 1TB HDD Laptop

Customer Ratings:

I bought this computer because I couldn't find another laptop this size (14in screen) which could match its specs and price. Specifically I liked its large hard drive (1 tb), high resolution (1600x900), matte screen with very good battery life (>6 hrs). I also really like its looks, very thin and relatively light with brushed metal top and palm rest, and large track pad. The reason for the less than perfect score is the plastic bottom and inability to remove the bottom or even the access panel for the memory. I like to be able to replace the hard drive, memory and wireless card as better/upgrade components become available. Because the bottom is plastic when I removed the screws and tried to take both the memory access cover and/or the bottom off, neither would budge and I was afraid if I kept prying I would break the plastic. Anyway if you're not interested in replacing components than this is a great laptop, looks nice and performs well. I'd would definitely recommend it.

I was able to snap this up for $800 at the Microsoft store though they no longer have it in stock. This Amazon version looks to be the same and I think even for $1100 is a pretty competitive laptop. On pros and cons I won't repeat the specs much since you can read those elsewhere...I'll just note my experiences in the first 2 weeks of ownership.

Pros:

Relatively thin and light considering it packs a DVD drive and discrete graphics card

14 inch screen in a 13 inch laptop form factor

Nice screen, though viewing angles could be a bit better but are definitely acceptable unless you are super nitpicky on this.

Keyboard is nice and backlighting works well

Matte screen and brushed aluminum minimizes fingerprints

Seems pretty fast though I haven't run any benchmarks. Most programs launch fairly quickly though surprisingly Samsung's EasySettings program takes a good 10-15 seconds to launch.

Battery life is reasonable, though not exceptional (probably averaging around 4 hours, using Samsung's recommended battery lifetime extending 80% charge setting.

Fast boot time....about 25-30 seconds and about 2 seconds resume from sleep. Ironically, resume from hibernate seems to take as long...maybe longer than a complete boot.

WiFi seems good. Have read other complaints of this but have no issues.

Cons:

Most annoying is the Samsung software suite that launches at startup...this is fine if you're using an admin account but if you run as a standard user it gives you 3 or 4 Windows UAC prompts at startup so these programs will run. I finally had to remove these from startup using Task Scheduler to avoid this annoyance.

Volume, keyboard brightness and screen brightness are controlled via function keys but require toggling them on using the Fn button. There is a Fn Lock button but this must be reset at every restart. Also when function keys are locked, the delete key becomes the DVD eject key. Fine until you happen to be text editing...then it is annoying to have to toggle this back off.

Some have complained about the Elan touchpad. I find it to be acceptable, though I wouldn't call it stellar. For me the only real issue is that without the physical click buttons it is easy to sometimes right click when wanting to left click.

Bottom plastic seems a little flimsy. Not really problematic but a bit out of step with the notebook's overall quality.

Too many stupid stickers to peel off including some that are paper based and have to betaken off with alcohol.

Mine was a "Microsoft Signature PC" since it was bought from Microsoft, so essentially this means it was pretty much bloat ware free. I can't speak to the Amazon version.

Also one final note on the fan. Typically it is very unobtrusive but tonight I watched a few hours of video and it did cycle on fairly loudly for a few minutes every 10 minutes or so.

Conclusion: a nicely designed, good looking, relatively thin and lit feature packed PC. I don't think you will go wrong with this if you bear in mind the few "cons" above.

This laptop is "almost there" is so many ways. The resolution of the screen is truly high definition, but the viewing angle is very limited before detail and color becomes distorted.

The "easy settings" have many features and presets, but it seems to be a common problem that the user defined settings are not initially kept after shutdown.

There is no number pad! There is not even an option to use the common "Fn+alt" to modify alphabet keys to function as a keypad. You must use an external keypad for alt codes /ascii characters, and there are only two usb ports on this laptop, on the left side. and one of those is constantly occupied by my usb wifi adapter that replaces the inferior internal broadcom adapter.

At the time of this writing, this laptop still does not have a support page on Samsung's website. The laptop has been available for purchase for over 6 months.

The solid pros about this laptop are the battery life and the speed. The claim of 9 hours of battery time under in conservative use settings is genuine, and it really does take less than 2 seconds to wake up from sleep mode. The only time this computer started to slow down was when I gave the norton software that was bundled with it a chance. Uninstall that immediately.
