Hi Guys, wanna ask something..

Last Saturday I went to Lowyat Sony Centre to buy Vaio SR36G..
promo price RM3,299..
too bad the promoter said only SR with "pink" color available...WTF???
they mention no more stock for SR (black/gold) within entire m'sia.. is this true? pls share some info with me..

they try promote to me the CW16 (oni diff is new RAM DDR3)..but not intrested since mindset oni wanna buy SR..

what do you guys think? CW16 or SR36G??? Btw, I use vaio for working purposes & bussiness..
currently using vaio CR22 (old school)

PS: At same time saw 1 richie guy bought 3units CW16 (dealing less than 5minutes) while i spend 1/2hour there bargaining with the promoter..
feeling so binbo..haha

hi
im also planning to get SR but SR 55? u know the price for that?

anyway , i googled for sr55 on the net and found someone selling dirt cheap. so i contacted and bla bla.how do i know its genuine ( not stolen or fake etc etc ? ) . he claimed that his friend works in sony and he just get the comission.he emailed me some pics. showed the bottom of the laptop too ( for the serial and service tag but i cant really see le ). and he said it is 2 years warranty? i tot it was jsut 1?

please advise me guys!

SR 55G would cost you RM4,299 based on latest sony centre price..

better watch out for scammer..
as long the seller willing to COD, then it should be ok..
buy only when you satisfied with the units..

Good luck!!

previously someone said the price is around 3.9 k. not too sure myself.maybe on sale

weird also right? 2 years warranty? i tot standard was 1 year only?

i dont want it to be fake sony or illegal..cham lo if its stolen or black market one...

Is there a major difference in price? If not, won't be worth taking the risk if it turns out to be dodgy and you don't get a valid warranty.

1k difference

TBC

I've no news about that.

I dont think CW16 will suit your 'professional' image with the glossy and fingerprint prone surface. However, if you're really desperate for a laptop, then you may pick this since the SR is only in.... pink... >.<

BTW, is the SR36 a brand new unit or display set? Have to ask properly.


Yes. Current Vaio SR55 price has been revised to RM3,999.
Standard is 1 year warranty.

If its a brand new usnit then something fishy is going on. If it is a used unit, demand for a "SEW certificate" or "SEW receipt"

SR at 3.6k!? yikes thats cheap i might even consider pink .. wait.. no i dont think so

maybe i should pay sony centre in me place a visit, maybe theres clearance stock hiding somewhere

yup.. i don't like CW which looks shiny and easily collect finger print all over the surface..

if no SR model available..might need to consider new Vaio Z series..looks really cool with i5/i7..but only available late Feb if not mistaken..can't imagine the price for this series..rm6-7K..wah lao..

hi there, try to contact sony and ask about it. The 3 months extended warranty is only valid if you register your sony product within 7 days from the day you purchase. Just try to call them or go to sony service center and tell them your situation, i assume her laptop cant turn on? if it is motherboard kaput, try and use the fan issue to make an argument.

hey guys, i hv few questions bout vaio w series..like this http://corp.sony.com.my/vaio/vaio_w125.html

my fren just bought it last week

it come with windows 7 starter, now he wanted to upgrade it to win7 home premium..

he called sony service centre to ask on how to upgrade it to win7 starter to home premium, and the operator said he can't, and he also said that win7 starter is design for vaio w series, and if any attempt to upgrade the os will result in possible problems, error,unstable,blablabla and will void warranty..

is it true guys? simply put, can we upgrade win7 starter to premium for w series vaio without those problems mentions above and also without voiding the warranty?

hope anyone will respond to my question..

why he need Win 7 Home Premium in the first place?

The operator is only right at certain part. If the upgrade isn't done correctly, it will result in problems such as some buttons not working and wireless not working. Sometimes it might also make the whole system goes haywire (random BSOD).

However, it certainly won't void the warranty.

If we register the product within 7 days, would that mean we have 15 months of warranty in total?

When I bought my Vaio, I plainly ask the guy about upgrading the OS ( mine was loaded with win7hp). He just told me to buy the CD and install.

Forgive if this is a noob opinion, but I believe we have to clean install our version of Win before installing a new one, no?

Yupz I think so, you have to register as a premier member at Sony.com. W/o a purchase you can only register as a regular member (aka savvy member)

"Sorry, the individual warranty is 1year after you register the serial
number online. You can call customer service (number attach on
warranty card) for more info.

Accessories warranty 90days.
"

this is what the seller ( i found in google and offering cheaper 1k for sony sr55 )

is this true

how can i judge if th elaptop is fake or stolen?

Obviously that guy knows very little about Vaio. After installing a fresh copy of Windows (not the Windows came together with Vaio), one have to download drivers for his/her specific model from sony-asia.com. By drivers, that doesn't mean a single file or two but A LOT.

Here's an example for Vaio SR43G:

Yes, you're indeed right.

See got "VAIO Official Warranty" sticker on the box and on the laptop or not.

Yes. 1 year warranty for the laptop and 3 months warranty for supplied accessories (battery and adapter)

Maybe u're right.

I will inform her this way =)

U're CS user too ya, I remember...

are u kidding me? for real 3 months only for the battery ar?????

See got "VAIO Official Warranty" sticker on the box and on the laptop or not. << the only way to determine?

the pics he send to me :

sony

sony2

sony3

so guys please help me see if i can trust this guy??

and another thing. if i send for warranty claim or repair in australia. will they need the receipt? must it be sony's receipt only? and must the warranty is 1 year from the receipt or? if i managed to ask the guy to "delay" my warranty date ( better if unfilled ) ??
