sony vaio fw series user here..vgn-fw55gf..it is a nice and durable laptop ever use..keke..quite satisfied it..already using it for almost 1year

Jus bought the Sony Vaio Ea16

Would like to ask, is it necessary to use all the software installed by Sony?

DOes it make my notebook lag?

I find the startup time slower than my company's dell notebook wo...

Not compulsory to use. disable if you know which you dont use and not important. some services running to enable the power profile and Fn key.
not really, other non sony may cause it sometime. you can google any running service name which you want to know anyway.

theres clean install guide at notebookreview forum. google it out. or you can use the same clean install guide as CW series....they should be the same

i juz bought vaio E series a week ago, i found out there's a dead pixel.. can i ask for 1 to 1 exchange?

NO

Anyone know if i should buy the Vaio Z now or wait till august?

Does Sony have any special promotion in august since the month is the merdeka month?

Just noticed that the cheapest Z doesnt have ODD but oh well, I can live without it...

SO.. how's your EA16..? manage to get any discount..?


not necessary to use all software.. in fact.. you can uninstall all bloatware...

Bite the bullet and bought the vaio z115gg today... got 50% off the extended warrany after signing up for the free sony style membership...

liking it so far.

feel the carbon fibre and you will know that every single cent you spent is worth it.

i wanna know that does any sony center or sony style sell the silicon protector for S series??

glad you finally decide what to buy. Z is seriously great innovation from sony. welcome to the club

the kb protector? only know about E series. well, you can just buy the customize kb protector.

hi all.. been mia from this thread.

i bought a sony s series in feb 2010,
so now..i think got virus or smtg...for my hardisk and backup partition...usually got alot of space ( blue bar ) but recently it keeps on being "full" and turns red...i didnt download anything that will make it grow that fast..both c and d disk.
when i watch movie.. it will be like tersekat sekat..
and when i on my pc..it will say smtg .dll missing bla bla..

so i dont think i've ever done a backup/reformat cd ( dumb me i know for procrastinate it )
how do i go about it???? i mean i dont have any cd with me now?

oh my, what have you done?
you dont have the recovery disc (which require to be create manually)? you can try accessing VAIO Recovery Center and select which appropriate to your task.


[Direct to VAIO Recovery Partition]Keep pressing F10 after reboot/on power your notebook.
[Windows: Advanced Boot Option]the other way, restart the notebook, and keep pressing F8. ( more info: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsi...200%2082716684 )


** Before trying the two above, try access the VAIO Recovery Center by selecting it All Programs > VAIO Recovery Center.

if you can still create recovery disk, try create one. insert the disc and reboot.

recovery disk means like a brand new pc right? with windows and others?
and i should have backup my other files i presume ? hehe..
thanks

keyboard protector ah?

yup, going to factory state.
backup your data first.

Woohoo! I'm now a proud owner of a Z116GG, this is my 5th VAIO already, I'm addicted to it.

Can anyone advise what softwares i can remove from my Z? Since it's a 128GB SSD, i have limited space, so need to make more room.
