I would not care if Sony sells this computer for $50, I would not buy from them. I have a laptop here that was returned to them five (5) times and on the last time they returned it it was still not repaired. I phoned them and was told that they had replaced the monitor, the mother board, and various other parts and, Warranty or No Warranty, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO SPEND ANOTHER DIME ON THE COMPUTER AND THAT IF WANTED I COULD JUST SUE THEM!!
SONY can go straight to you know where and I will never, ever, as long as I live, purchase another SONY product. Buyer Beware! You know, a few years back, their entire repair staff in Atlanta Ga was fired and they closed the facility because over $1.5 millions of product and equipment had been stolen at the facility. This entire garbage lack of character eminates from the top most reaches of this Company.
Buyer Beware! The U.S. body of this Company is headed up by a bunch of crooks!

I own a Sony GRV series notebook. Sony's support after the sale is sparse and disappointing to say the least. Personally, I would never think of buying another Sony computer.
This is the same company that has been caught loading spyware onto peoples' computers surepticiously. Why would anyone buy something from them?
Additionally, Sony's laptops are pretty cheesey and don't hold up well to travel.
Finally, as you can see from other posts here, they have a customer service ethic that is better suited to el cheapo consumer electronics than to expensive computer equipment.
I for one will not buy from Sony til they pay for repairs to my computer, which was caused by their DRM crap, tried to remove it, now my CD burner & DVD burner do not work. OS is not working correctly either, will have to reformat & reinstall.
