   I bought a Sony VAIO VGN-FW280J/H 16.4-Inch Laptop (2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 7200 RPM 320 GB Hard Drive, BD-RW, Vista Premium) Gray, in May 2009 for the good price of USD 999.99. I didn’t open the box for about one month, because I have 2 other Laptops an Apple and a HP.
   
   Then I used this Sony for about 2 months as a desktop, but not that much, so I didn’t move or bring this Sony on th go. Then for somehow it builds moisture inside the LCD, I believe due to the hot weather, I contacted Sony Support, they asked me to send the unit to Sony Repair in San Diego which I did and they received the unit on 10.05.2009. Yesterday on 10.20.2009 at 8 pm I got an email saying that the repair estimate is USD 699.99 plus tax, whaaaaaat?…I called right away asked them to send it back, this is crazy…
   
   I just can not believe that this is a SONY, one of the biggest company in electronics/multimedia/movie industry.
   
   I will never ever buy a sony anymore…
   
   Below is the email that I got from Sony Repair:

   I would agree with the most of the reviews before me, it’s just a nice pc and I love it. I don’t want to go into specifics but I’ll tell you that every time I use it, I discover something new that I like it.
   
   About the battery life so what, this is a big laptop, it’s not made to be carryed around, so if you are looking for battery life buy a little netbook, it will last 10 hours they say,

   Anyway, to me its a great buy and I enjoy it a lot.

   I purchased an FW laptop in November 2008 and the keyboard failed in August 2009. Service was responsive and replaced it. In January 2010., keyboard failed again and Sony will not cover since the computer is “out of warranty”. I have another brand that is still working after 8 years. One year life is outrageous!

   I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate ($238 upgrade) so I could use the XP mode to use an xp business software that I have. Then I found out the processor in this machine does not support something call Virtual Technology and won’t run the XP mode without it. So I’m screwed with a $1000 computer that isn’t much use to me and now I have to buy another one. I hope this saves someone a headache.
