Hello, I just bought the brand new sony vaio s (i5 sandy bridge, amd/intel swithable graphics, 4gb ram, 320gb hard drive) for 3300rm a week ago. Everthing about the laptop is fantastic (screen, touch pad, keyboard, build quality, performance...), only there is one huge problem : the heat and noise when I watch hd videos or game. So I complained to the sony store and they replaced my laptop (on Wednesday). But the same problem persists : heat and noise.

Now I am desperate to get rid of the laptop and buy another model. What should I do ?




So don't buy a sony vaio S

My fren tell me not to buy Vaio cos Sony not famous for their lappy, Vaio is due to marketing branding by Sony itself. Fast fast sell it off if unhappy.

Thanks for sharing

actually not only S model got the heat problem..
almost all of vaio's have the same problem frm the previous till the recent models..
n if u dont believe me u can try 2 google it..
n i thnk yeah, u should replace it wth a new 1 other than vaio..

Please help me

why people buy vaio?

so overpriced =/

NOOOOOOO !!! Everything but that ! I don't wanna sell my laptop for a bargain price.

Is it possible to get something like 3000 rm cash out of it ? If it's possible, then I would do it NOW !

@fo-fo-fo-fo, can show some HWMonitor and GPU-Z screenshot during gaming ? Curious about its temp..

seems like he is very desperate to sell off his laptop...but then u will lose alot worh

No, as the asus u36jc comes with old specs, no dvd drive and costs 3000rm. I think that the sony vaio s seemed like a good deal considering the specs, the battery life, the build quality, the design and weight, the screen...

can i hav the specs of sony vaio S?

ah! so ur selling it off

im no selling expert but isnt it a bad move to sell something with this kinda thread around?

HOT and NOISY.

i think he is being honest...if u really wana sell n cant sell off?jus sell to shops??but then u will encounter big loss

oops !

I feel like I have been tricked in to buying some crap for $$$

by who?@@

your answer are subjective.

need a data to analyze.

yea fo 4x .. clam down.. n get those temp reading n post it up

plus we also dunno what kinda surrounding ure when the hair blowing start. maybe poor ventilation? did u use cooler pad?

first thing first. get the temp readings

Seem like Sony choose to use low quality fan onto SB series which is loud like hell.

@fofofofo, if u use stamina mode (with HD3000) to play, is the fan still as loud as performance mode?
