Sony Vaio VGC-LT25E 22" PC/TV All-in-One

Was very nervous ordering such an expensive computer on line, but after reading all the reviews and then going to other sites to read reviews, I felt better about trying it. When delivered, the outer Amazon Box was very loose, but secure enough to hold the inner more solid and secure Sony Vaio box. The computer unpacked easily and was in excellent condition. Everything I needed to know I was able to easily find on line in the Computer's on-line help guide. I just plugged this baby in and was good to go! I have to say I was both relieved and impressed at how easy this all was. The computer is a pretty machine too. The 22" screen is a nice addition to my desk and I love that there are less wires and peices hanging around. I've heard so many horror stories about the Vista operatng system, I was nervous about adding my older HP printer, but with the assurance from the Sony online guides it was another easy, "just plug it in" and I was ready to go!

What a computer!

What sold me on this computer was the Blu Ray player (it plays beautifully Blu Ray pre-recorded DVDs) and recorder. I got a 50GB rewritable disc, which is expensive but it holds 50GB of information!! I remember back when a standard DVD costs quite a bit and they only hold 7.4GB. I plan on downloading and editing video from my Canon HD camera and then burning the results out to Blu Ray Discs. Full 1080. That's another reason that the 500GB hard drive is useful. There is an upgrade model that offers a double sized hard drive. I'll follow up if there are any problems.

There's been a lot of talk about the negatives of the Vista operating system. I have had absolutely no problem with it, especially after downloading the Windows updates. This is a large corporation, They're going to fix any problems

But this computer... A 22" brilliant screen with a 500GB hard drive and 3GB of RAM!

There was no manual included with my computer and I think that this was just an oversight. I didn't  more

It Isn't What Sony Says It Is!

This is advertised as "It's a VAIO PC. It's an HDTV. It's all-in-one." (From the SONY brochure). The TV cable input iscoaxial cable only! Itcan not handle HDTV. SONY says HDTV can be conected thru the USB port. But COMCAST uses a MOTOROLA HDTV box in which the USB is not enabled. Nor is itin any of Motorola's boxes. Nor does Comcast know on anyone who uses a HDTV box that has USB enabled. SONY says we must buy a TV aerial so we can access the user's guide which will tell us something. SONY refuses to have their technician talk to COMCast's technician to try to resolve the problem. So much for SONY's product support - or lack of it! It all adds up to false advertising. What can I do but return it?
