Just gotten myself a Vaio X last week, it was love at first sight

Yes, it is true, i own cs16g which i bought it on dec 2008. Up to this moment, i had sent in for 5 times (4 of it was the fan problem). Affected model (admitted by sony) were CS1 series and CS2 series, but i saw some video from youtube that even CS3 series have the same problem.

Seriously i'm damn pissed by this, there are few forums on the net discussing about this problem, and none of them are happy with their cs. This is my first and last vaio i'm going to own

U should gather petition to against irresponsible feedback by SONY instead since it's so obvious a SONY's common defect.

Either they fix the prob, or they recall & replace with a prob-free unit.

Do tell me if u want my fren's contact. I believe she's very glad if u do that~

I've tried my very best to locate the INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY for my FW purchase in US.
But all in vain.

Seems they not include the INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY in their every sale. I wonder why is that happening to a international company?

Even an ASUS oso providing 2 yrs global warranty.

1 thing I realize, their customer service do not being helpful at all (US side).

Am I getting a VAIO without any proper warranty by the time I bring back to M'sia? It's total madness!!!

thanks for your suggestion, now my laptop is working fine, if the same problem strikes again then i'm going to do something big . About your problem, sorry i don't know anything about international warranty, maybe someone with experience here can help you

totally agree..

There is no such thing as INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY for VAIOs.

However, there are two types of warranty which covers limited countries. One is the VAIO Overseas Service (VOS) and another is the International Repair Service Program (IRSP). VOS is an optional purchase for those non IRSP models such as FW and W series. VAIO P, X, Z, SR and CW is covered with IRSP.

Check for the VOS sticker under your laptop.



If no, then so sorry. Your FW warranty will not be honored and you have to fork out extra too when you repair it.
The sticker is the mother of all proof that you have bought/been given a VOS.

I don't know how is Sony USA Ltd policies, but Sony (M) policy is that;

i) VOS cannot be purchased by models with IRSP
ii) VOS cannot be extended. Strictly one year only.
iii) Any VOS claims must be accompanied by a sticker below the laptop.

Thanks very much for sorting my question out.

Guess I'll have to see the unit when my fren bring back it.

It's a big lesson for me to learn this time.

SONY... Sigh~

er..does anyone knows when is the exact date the new p series will come up? here in Malaysia.. btw do guys think it will perform better and faster with window 7?

Its warm, not hot.

I assume its ranging 50 ~ 65 (worst case).

great, and welcome to the club

admit that it cheaper price in US, but the warranty is the drawback when using it in Malaysia, unless you are really eligible for IRSP. Gotta follow official channel.
regarding CS, i already mention that the early batch CS series tends to have fan problem.

the part inside the notebook is very unexpected to fault. this goes to TZ incident (power plug heat issue).

Hi anyone knows the difference in specs of the p25 and p35?

I tried to find x series in sony website but I could not find it....where can i see the specs n where to buy to get the best price?

Thanks....

here:
P35:
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 32-bit (English Version)
Intel® Atom™ Processor Z550 (2 GHz, HT Technology supported)

Thats it, the rest same.

as for VAIO X:

VPCX117LG/B (RM5299)
Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 32-bit (English Version)
Intel® Atom™ Processor Z550 (2 GHz, HT Technology supported)
2 GB DDR2 SDRAM (on board)
128 GB (SATA) SSD
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500
11.1" wide (WXGA: 1366 x 768) TFT colour display (VAIO Display Premium, LED backlight)
Bundled Battery: VGP-BPL19 Lithium-ion battery: up to 7.5 hours of use
Weight: 760 g (including the supplied battery)

VPCX113KG/B (RM3999)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 32-bit (English Version)
Intel® Atom™ Processor Z540 (1.86 GHz, HT Technology supported)
2 GB DDR2 SDRAM (on board)
64 GB (PATA) SSD
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500
11.1" wide (WXGA: 1366 x 768) TFT colour display (VAIO Display Premium, LED backlight)
Bundled Battery: VGP-BPS19 Lithium-ion battery: up to 3.5 hours of use

Both having same built quality (fully carbon fiber), same screen quality (screen quality as VAIO Z)
The difference between these two is the processor, ssd type and the bundled battery and weight due to battery size.

Added on November 15, 2009, 10:27 amyes, X series is like brother to the P series.
if you want wide screen visibility, carbon fibre built (instead of magnesium plastic combination material), light and slim, better battery life, go for X series.
the X series doesnt have the dvd-rom/bluray drive.

U want this? Have u seen the real product?


In US I see there's a better pouch, but with a higher price: USD24.99


Dunno which is better, though, coz I haven't seen both pouches.
