teach me how to overclock! lol

It is a BIOS MOD.

Need to flash your BIOS.

Quite risky if you don't know what you are doing though.

saw any deal breaking promo for vaio S in pc fair?

im not using my vaio for games so i dont mind running it on stock.... (in short...i dont know how to so better not...might brick my unit )

Went to PC Fair and got myself a S-series instead. It is a White SVS13116fbg....

Btw, yesterday when I started to use more of it, I notice the big touchpad is not really even. Can feel it sink in abit on the left side and jerk-up abit on the right side. What can I do? Can I demand for a new set due to manufacturing defect? If I send it for fixing I worry once they open up the notebook for this small imperfect issue, will then even cause more major issue in the future.

Any advice on how to "care" for this white color S-series? I worry it will becoming like my white macbook, after a few years of use. Any special cloth or liquid to clean the white surface?

Thank you.

Cheers//KH

@vaio2kh congrats on your purchase!

the only thing that i guess i dont really like is that all the connections are on the right side and that when i connect stuff it gets in the way of my mouse...haha! guess i have to use the mouse a bit farther..

Yes, I was also wondering why the designer put all ports at one side only. The only logical explanation I could give myself is that to cater for situation when you have a tight working desk. So only 1 side with all the usb flash stick!

I also notice the memory usage is getting very high. Easily over 2.5GB is used up. Fortunately this model allow 8GB memory module, which would have 12GB in total for my VMWares stuff. I already disable some programs from starting up auto. Also use Windows Security Essential instead of Trend Micro Anti-virus. Now it is around 1.9GB used when startup.

Just get yourself a wireless mouse then done ~

Good suggestion!

Btw, can I uninstall Trend Micro, instead of disabling it from startup?

You can uninstall if you want.

im using a bluetooth mouse...however, once i connect my external hard drive...i have to position my mouse a bit farther than the usual...



i removed trend micro and install avast free...

Do you all have problem getting the Vaio Manual? I tried clicking on the Vaio Manual but nothing loaded. Instead redirect me to a website.

Any comments about vaio E series SVE14A15G and S series SVS13116FGP
I m planning to buy one but not sure which one is better coz the specs almost the same.

however, the s series is rm200 more expensive than the E series.
The E series looked very nice!!!

Then better not.
I'm not saying that the possibility of bricking it is high.
But, since you don't play games much, stock should be good enough.

Congrats bro!

I think mine also like yours, the touchpad doesn't seems flat.

So, do you play games?

It can be a vicious one once awaken(GT650M DDR3 performance).
