Vaio S series is worth it. Just don't compare with Acer/Dell/HP/Asus/Lenovo lah based on price.. Except of course Alienware.. tongue.gif
And please don't compare to a Mac, if you're thinking Mac, you're posting in the wrong thread.

The keyboard is nice, the construction is very nice. Backlight keyboards so useful in the dark. If you peel off all those stupid stickers (showing AMD, Intel, Win7) then your lappy becomes super classy.

I own the SB16, can play Crysis2, Fallout3. So performance wise no prob lah. But fan noise is loud under stress. Does it bother you? It not bother me cos I use headphones for games. And your right palm will get warm cos HDD and processors and RAM are below it. if you play FPS then lagi no prob cos your left hand only touching the keyboard as your right is for fragging and headshots! smile.gif

But the lappie cools very effectively to the back under the LCD.

oh ok.i might buy SB19 in a few days.Still considering my options tho.
I used 5750G before but my sister buy it from me.Considering a smaller lappy for mobility and performance.
So far, SB19 is my favorite.Mac is troublesome as im not very familiar with OS Lion.lol
SB19 have backlit keyboard right?
I rarely use my lappy for gaming. Sometimes only play DOTA with friends lol.

When you buy,please ask for more free gift or discount. Mostly the plaza low yat sony centre at ground floor can give more freegift compare to 1st floor sony centre. If you need further discount but don't want free gift then let me know. As I know maximum discount those ppl can give without free gift is 2% off only. I believe I can get more. but you cannot tongue.gif

Yeah, too bad. Well, nowadays the Sony didn't really give a customer a vaio bag anymore. So always think this " SOny no longer giving laptop bag , if they mentioned is free, they using their own money to pay the bag so the customer won't run away " laugh.gif

its on the store not from Sony as part of the laptop itself eh?
I hope its the original Sony bag tho not some cap ayam one.hahaha
BTW,shud i extend the warranty to 3 years?costs rm350 if im not mistaken

Sony Centre I can see,they paying for the Sony VAIO bag because Sony Malaysia no longer give them the vaio bag,the reseller want then have to buy it. If got VAIO logo on the bag then don't worry.
To me I won't extend it.

not worth it to extend the warranty eh?

Hi, i'm a new VPCSB26FG user, pls add me! smile.gif

I guess it's tru what people say abt Sony, the customer service is kind a bad. I'm having truble to register my warranty at Sony website, no idea why it keeps showing "pls make sure yr product info is correct" for thousand times+the product key for MS Offfice provided at the back of lappy is shown to be invalid. Called The Curve, no action was taken. Called that pathetic customer service line, it keeps on saying "pls call during working hrs". what the hell...luckily the perf+design is nice, if not i would've sold it thru mudah.com...

any help guys? blink.gif

Email the customer service to register ur product.they can register it for u.Got MS Office key?its not Student version ka?with limited view on Word and Excel
