suddenly gone quiet...busy?

How's your laptop? Got SSD already?
Howbout the pouch you're looking for?

no ssd yet...maybe a few months time...i don't think 512 would be enough for me...haha! but then again...i dont have enough money yet for the upgrade... i've bought a crumpler sleeve to carry my notebook around. still on the look out for a slim and light weight bag that will fit the notebook with the power brick and wires... too bad the thinktank is just a few cm short...would have been my first choice...

guys,
quick question and opinion
came across one model SVE14A16FG
quite a good spec
core i7 3612,750gb,radeon 7670,1600 x 900 resolution
a friend of mine wanted to sell me at rm 2450..one week old
btw..vietnam unit...
is it worth it?

yeah, 512GB might filled up on mine as well if I create multiple Virtual Machines.

My friend bought a samsonite sleeve for his Acer S3. Quite nice.

I'm using a backpack though.


Should be worth it if you ask me.

The nearest spec compared to it in Malaysia is the SVE14A15FGB, which cost RM3,099 here in Malaysia.

Difference between SVE14A15FGB and SVE14A16FG is the CPU(i7 3612QM vs i5 2450M) , HDD(750GB vs 640GB), and RAM (1600 vs 1333).

Means that the laptop your friend is selling is better than the one in Malaysia, while cheaper.

Not sure about the warranty though.

I'm seriously tempted! Other than from Sony Center or from Sony Store online, where else can I get the S13 Premium? Any recommended place?

I think only these 2 place you can get or else you can try to get it from me. My price is cheaper than Sony Center or Sony Store by 2% only

thanks for your info....

the laptop price is it based on the receipt that i bought?

got mine from sony center in mid valley

Hey guys. I'd like to ask about Sony Vaio S base model display. Is it at least of similar quality compared to the Macbook Pro's one?

Sorry bro...don't have time to really sit down n test the GPU OC. Been busy with work & travels. I'll update you guys once I've tested it myself.

Based on the baseline model shown here...I would say that the Vaio S base model has a better display compared to the Mac equivalent. Vaio S has anti-reflective coating whereas the Macbook Pro has a glossy screen.

hi guys,
need help..try to goole around but still no solution

got vaio SVE14A16FG today
everything fine untill..I decided to swap with corsair force 3 ssd
did clean installation of windows but the problem sometime when retart after vaio logo
there was a message..operating system not found
need to restart couple of times

You install it on Legacy Mode or UEFI Mode?

Have you check that in BIOS whether it's the right mode?

legacy...if under UEFI totally cannot boot

hmmm... thats why if ever i would change to ssd...i would just clone my existing...dont want to risk problems to arise. since i've already removed some items that i dont like from the base pre-installed programs... though, boot up time on my S13 is still ok using the stock installation with the stock hdd... average 50 sec boot time is not an issue for me... though of course opening apps would be a diff story...

Hmmm.. it happened on mine once, but I'm on UEFI.
It cannot boot or detect the SSD. Thought my SSD already dead.
So, I just leave the laptop with the word 'operating system not found' for quite a while coz I was doing something.
I try reboot again, then it works. Until now, never face any issue when booting.

But yours a bit different, after restart couple of times then it works, but sometimes it happened again. Is that right?

Howbout a firmware update?

already on latest firmware..5.02
right now u are running on uefi or legacy?

if i shutdown no issue...its only on restart
it look like ssd not ready

I'm running on uefi, migrated from the original HDD.

If you put back the original HDD, all is well back again is it?

Really not sure there, maybe you can try migrate everything from the original HDD, see if that work.
If it works, then its either your fresh installation went wrong, or you're missing some drivers, which i kind of doubt.

So, when you restart your laptop, did you try have a look at the BIOS whether it can see the SSD?

thanks..problem solved
put back original hdd
create recovery disc image (4 disc)
put back ssd and install from recovery image under uefi
no problem at all..running fine
the bad thing..the recovery disc created hidden recovery partition in the ssd about 16gb
ssd after boot up left 53gb free space only
