Summary: Best Vaio ever?
Review: I bought this cool notebook (...) about two weeks ago and so far, it is trouble free. Crispy, bright screen with powerful graphic card makes it even cooler. You can update the system (...) and they'll take care every problem you have. This notebook easily surpass the Dell and Compaq when it comes to same specs. I recommend this product to anyone.

Summary: Great Package
Review: I bought this model about 1 week ago. It is a great system with a clear, bright and colorfull screen. I have XP Pro on it right now and it is flawless. The video card is pretty good too as it has 16 MB with 3D MDAC engine, I belive. Fifa 2001 runs smooth on it, although to get fast non choppy play I have to cut the rendering in half. It still looks killer with the DDR video memory though. I am sure that with an additionanl 256 (for a total of 512) MB of ram, it would perform much better. The 15 inch screen is impecable as sony always is. Loaded with features it is an expensive piece of hardware, but well worth it depending on your profession. I am an Application developer and have put this baby to work with no problems. I did notice one bad thing, but this could be the norm for laptops. It takes about 10 minutes to copy 500MB from one partition to the other. Weird. ---- UPDATE ----
The system comes pre loaded with Trend Micro's PC Cillin antivirus. The real time virus protection was causing the copy to slow down and even bring the computer to its knees. After turning the real time file scan off, it worked like a charm. ---- UPDATE ----
I added 256MB More to the laptop. Now it has 512MB of Ram and the system is working better and faster. It has not crashed on me once. The book runs very cool. It heats up just enough to let you know it is alive. I took out the hard drive and it is an IBM 4200 rpm drive. I had a Thinkpad T21 Pent III 750 with a 14' screen before. This Sony Vaio beats the heck out of the T21, let me tell you that right now. If you decide that this is your system, enjoy it!! All in all I rate it a 4+ With the added Memory it is a 5 star product. :)

Review: I HAVE BEEN USING THE NOTEBOOK FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND FOUND IT TO BE 'EXCELLENT' IN TERMS OF ITS OUTPUT.SONY COULD HAVE ADDED THE 'FLOPPY DRIVE' OR THE 'WIRELESS CONNECTION',THE BATTERY LID IS BIT LOOSE, BUT ANYWAY UPTILL NOW IT'S MONEY'S WORTH.OVERALL GOOD BLENDING OF' DESIGN' AND 'SOFTWARE'COLLECTIONS PRE-INSTALLED BY 'SONY'.

Summary: Great Notebook for today!!!
Review: I just purchased this Sony Vaio PCG-GR370 about 3 weeks ago, and everything is really great. This model is nice when you see or compare with other brand styles such as Compaq, Dell, or so on. Also, I upgraded memory to 512MB that makes me satisfied with its speed when I am running many programs in the same time. LCD is clear when you watch DVD or playing the Game. If you are looking for the portable laptop, this is the one of your choice for today and long terms.

Summary: Terrific machine but not so all inclusive
Review: This Vaio is a terrific machine whose screen brightness surpasses all the other model of its same level as Compaq 2715, Tosh 5000 and HPzt series. Its major drawbacks are the lack of floppy disk inside (you have to use an USB drive), and the modem is quite cheapy (I had to write an extra string to connect at 50k).
Overall performance insuperable, nice design, 3 USB ports, end even a slot for MS of Clie Handheld. Keyboard almost as good as the one of IBM Thinkpad. Sound very good. Should have at least 512mb of RAM. Battery, an acceptable 2:45 h.
I would give 4 stars and a half.
