I have returned this system to Amazon. However, after doing their recommendations the situation was worse. I called Sony's help desk and they gave me what they said was a work-around.
Unfortunately, the reviewers were not accurate on their assessment of this system. This became an on-going problem with this computer. After doing a considerable amount of research, I purchased this computer.
It would give me the blue screen then lock up. Their reposnse has so far been excellent. It was a very handsome system and would have met most of my computing needs.Problems began immediately.
In trying to download the most current upgrades from Microsoft, the computer gave me a blue screen then locked up.
Two days later I stopped by my local Best Buy and found out the silver one was on sale for $999($1081 including tax). I hooked it up to a Sony Bluetooth mouse and it works great.
There are a few items that I wish Sony would of included with the computer, like a bigger screen, HDMI hookups and a TV tuner. I was also able to listen to my music or audio through my Sony receiver wirelessly(bluetooth) through a option on the Sony receiver called DIMPORT.
I purchased the black version about 2 weeks before Christmas $1199 and a week later I found the the original silver color was on sale for $1129. I love the Blu Ray and bluetooth capabilities.
But then again their more expensive line has all that. I plead with Amazon for a price adjustment, but they would not budge.
I know it was my fault and only wish I would of waited a week before making the purchase.Overall I love the computer and setup was a breeze.
I chose the Vaio over the 20" iMac because it seemed to me you get more computer for the money: a 500 GB HD, 4 GB RAM, and a Blu-ray drive. This is an attractive PC.I find this machine to be extremely responsive running under Vista, and the 20.1" glossy display is a joy to look at.
Even though I got the machine up and running within minutes, I did spend some time removing unwanted software, which I understand is pretty typical for Sony products. I also like the plentiful I/O ports that are conveniently positioned on the left side of the display.(Including SD and Sony memory stick slots).
I brought the JS160 (Silver) home yesterday and am so far very pleased with the purchase. The angled foot in the back of the monitor has just enough tension in it toprovide continuously adjustable tilt of the screen by simply moving it to the desired position-- a very nice design.
I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a space-saving family PC that looks great and performs well. I wanted an all-in-one PC to replace our aged family computer, while at the same time reducing the clutter of the old system.
The JS160 is extremely easy to set up, and the design is elegant.
