Amazon.com Product Description
Boasting an 18.4-inch widescreen XBRITE-FullHD display that's designed to maximize LCD space while minimizing chassis size, the Sony VAIO VGN-AW125J/H delivers vibrant colors in full 1080p high definition clarity. Weighing a little more than 8 pounds, it's ideal for multimedia enthusiasts or photographers who like to view or edit high-definition content on-the-go. An HDMI output provides single-cable full 1080 HD connectivity (audio and video) to a compatible HDTV (cable sold separately). And you'll be able to tackle virtually any graphics requirement with the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card and 512 MB of dedicated video RAM (and up to 2280 MB of total available memory.
 Equipped with an extra-wide 18.4-inch XBRITE-FullHD LCD screen, this Sony AW-Series laptop delivers vibrant colors and full HD 1080p resolution. |
It's powered by the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor--with Centrino 2 technology--which boosts speed, reduces power requirements, and saves on battery life. The 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 includes a quick 1066 MHz front-side bus and 3 MB of L2 cache, providing an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved multimedia and multitasking performance.
A built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam (with integrated microphone) lets you join in on video conferences as well as make long-distance VoIP calls. Other features include a 320 GB hard drive, 4 GB of installed RAM (maximizing capacity), ExpressCard 34 slot, quad-mode Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth connectivity (including stereo music streaming), both Memory Stick and SD card readers as well as a Compactflash slot, biometric fingerprint sensor, and pre-installed 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1).
This Sony notebook is RoHS-compliant, effectively reducing the environmental impact by restricting the use of lead, mercury and certain other hazardous substances.
Security Enhancements
This Sony VAIO AW-series notebook takes security seriously, employing a biometric fingerprint sensor and proprietary hard disk drive protection software to ensure your data is protected from unauthorized use as well as accidental damage. It also stores passwords to secure web sites you visit, so authentication and access are quick and easy--you only need your fingerprint.
The Basics
Formerly codenamed Montevina, Intel Centrino 2 processor technology improves upon every facet of a laptop's main features, including performance and battery life via new processors and chipsets, faster draft 802.11n wireless, and new business-class manageability capabilities. The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and it can run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background.

Screen, Video & Audio
Ideal for Blu-ray Disc movies, this Sony AW laptop's 18.4-inch LCD screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Since many high-definition films are shot using a 16:9 aspect ratio, the unit-s extra-wide LCD is constructed with the same dimensions, helping to minimize the black bars that typically appear and letting you view movies in their intended format. The screen's XBRITE-FullHD technology delivers dazzling colors and stunning picture clarity in full 1080p high definition. It also provides deep blacks and bright whites, true-to-life color, and razor-sharp detail. Preventing surprise at print, the Adobe RGB color compatible display ensures the most color accurate reproduction of images captured by your digital camera.
 It comes with a Blu-ray Disc optical drive for playback and recording of high-definition content, including movies in full HD 1080p resolution. |
 |
This laptop also has an integrated Intel High Definition Audio card with Dolby Digital Live, which provides real-time encoding technology that converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for transport and playback through a home theater system. It provides Dolby Digital (5.1-channel surround sound) during movie playback and gameplay, immersing players in high-quality surround sound that puts them at the center of the action. This laptop includes two built-in stereo speakers and a 2W subwoofer.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated quad-mode Intel Wireless 5100AGN Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). With the Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones as well as enjoy wireless stereo music streaming (thanks to its embedded A2DP profile).
This notebook also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 34 card slot (though no PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. Here's the full list of connectivity options:
Operating System
The 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium (with SP1) is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data.

Price is now within reason
While this is not a functional laptop due to its size it is also no desktop replacement due to its sluggishness. For someone like me who has the desire for a media based laptop and is not concerned with the weight, size or overclocking capability for gaming this is a sweet unit. I have used 64 bit ultimate vista now on both my desktop and this unit and have found it to be the best thing Mr. Gates and company have come up with; very stable and functional. The display is spectacular and the keyboard is one of the smoothest I've used. This is a very well put together machine with one of the very few drawbacks being a bunch of useless software to get rid of and I still do not understand why there is no OS disk included but I guess that is the way of the greedy corporate structure. Even though this is a discontinued model it is an excellent value for the dollar............
Sony VAIO AW
The computer arrived in two days and exactly as advertised.
I have spent the weeks since delivery learning the features of both the Sony and Vista Home Premium. To say there is a lot to learn would be a gross understatement. It will take several more weeks to get completly comfortable.
One point I would suggest long term mouse users consider is that you order a mouse with the computer. I found it very difficult to get used to the mouse surface even after several adjustments.
The screen is incredible and I have decided not to buy a seperate monitor.
It has been very easy to set up wireless networking both at home and on the road at various airports. However, the size of this computer makes it difficult to travel with (it dosen't fit under a airplane seat and cannot be opened for use unless you are in first class).
All-in-all I would definitely recommend this computer as a desk top/side replacement.
Machine and OS from Hell
I have had nothing but grief from this purchase. Several times a day it goes into a state where programs wont load or wont close. Sometimes it just hangs up forever. I have to reboot several times a day and restore the system a couple of times a week. The warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Do not buy this product!

Great laptop
I loved this laptop. I bought to replace my desktop. I do basically word processing, spreadsheet calculation, and Powerpoint presentations. However, I wanted a machine to play blu-ray, but able to output through an HDMI port. At the same time, I wanted the S-video port to plug into TV sets without HDMI and a firewire to transfer my movies from the camcorder. The DV7 series does not have a firewire or S-video. The Vaio models with BD-ROM does not have HDMI or the numeric keypad in the models below $1,000.
The laptop is not a powerhouse. It does not come with bluetooth, wireless N, and e-Sata connector. I checked the HP's website looking for the manual and specifications before buy it. Unfortunately, the PDF that I downloaded from the website had some mistakes or were not precise in the information. Since you have many configurations possible, it turned to be a nightmare to understand the specification tables. Neither the pictures in the Amazon's website is accurate. What you get is: 4 USB ports, 1 firewire, 1 memory card reader (it does not support CF), 1 HDMI, 1 RJ-11, 1 RJ-45, 1 Expansion port, 1 VGA, 1 S-video, 1 BD-ROM/DVD-multirecorder/CD-RW/DVD-RW with DL support (no lightscribe), PC Card Express 34/54, 2 mini-jack for earphones, and 1 mini-jack for microphone. It supports wireless B and G. The webcam does not tilt (it is indeed a bit inclined) and there are two microphones next to the webcam. There is room for a second hard drive, but you must buy the brackets to install it. I bought mine at eBay. Much cheaper than HP's store. The laptop does support larger hard drivers than 250 GB. I installed a 320 GB 7,200 rpm. The laptop does not get hotter. I don't know how much it affected the battery performance since I use my laptop always plugged.
About the software, it does come with Vista 64. You have to update the BD player online in order to play smoothly HD. After the update, I was able to watch movies without problem. The processor is fast enough to play HD and it ran cool. The graphic card is also good enough for HD decoding. BTW, even when the fan is running faster, it is not that noisy. The enclosed microphones have good quality. I was able to use them with Skype.
Overall, a great laptop for a good price. I forgot to mention, but check HP's website to see if you have any rebate on this model. I got a $50 one on mine by the time I bought it.
Addendum: The S/P DIF output is a coaxial digital output, not optical. The HP's support gave me this link: http://genioushelp.googlepages.com/spdif. They don't have the information in the manual. BTW, I noticed the picture in this link shows an "audio output" in the receiver. Anyway, I tried to connect my laptop through a TOS Link cable and it didn't work.
Addendum 2: When I bought this laptop, it was $899. Although it is a good laptop, I would not pay more than $1,000 for this one.
A Reasonable Desktop Replacement
In short, this machine is a great desktop replacement with a fantastic display and lots of functionality.
While I got off to a less than optimal start with this machine, with the first one being dead on arrival, then Beach taking a rather leisurely approach to shipping my replacement order, I've been pretty pleased with it. Its purpose is essentially a desktop replacement for home use so I've been using it for surfing the web, audio video use, not very taxing spreadsheet and word processing. No gaming yet but it's a possibility.
For me, the biggest pro is that it works. I really dreaded the thought of having another Vista machine since my home desktop HP with Vista is slow and hangs up quite a bit, even though it's got a hot processor and plenty of RAM. However, this machine runs most applications well and loads them quickly. The biggest plus is the huge display that provides a great picture. I can't say I've done a ton of 'heavy' entertainment video applications but it was more than adequate for two weeks in Germany where I had downloaded a number of TV shows, knowing English programming would be scarce. The speakers are better than most laptops I've owned but they are still limited by their size.
Unfortunately, the quick play buttons on top and the buttons on the remote only work with a few applications (not iTunes for example) but I somewhat expected that to be the case. One of the other drawbacks is the really bad battery life. Even on 'HP Recommended' power settings, I watched a 1 hour 15 minute TV show on the return flight from Germany and that completely exhausted the battery. The large screen and full size keyboard is great but it also creates the laptop's other big problem, which is size and weight. It's a BIG machine that you definitely wouldn't want to lug around if you're a road warrior.
In a nutshell, for those that didn't feel like reading my verbose review above:
Overall Pros:
- It Works with very few hiccups
- Nice sized interface/keyboard
- Great screen both quality and size
- Lots of features
Overall Cons:
- It's a BIG machine - too big to lug around a great deal
- Quickplay buttons don't work on all applications
- Battery life is horrible
A beast of a high def laptop
I was very pleased with how quiet this thing runs, compared to the old 17 inch media laptop I had from HP. Blu-ray player, great features, works wonderfully. I just wish it wasn't a 64-bit operating system, kind of spoils alot of my plans for it, as many of my apps require 32 bit vista. I would install another version but then support goes out the window.

too many problems with it!
I'm not sure if it's just mine or all the line's like that. The problems include:
- the terrible sound (some kind of mechanical noises)
- failing of switching from headphones to speakers
- failing to charge the battery
- the touchable buttons at the front don't work from time to time.
I have already changed one for the same new, but the problems continue to appear.
Really nice!!!
I bought this laptop recently and have to say it rocks!! I like the built in webcam and the remote control that comes with it. It even works awesome for gaming! It has the biggest hard drive available for a notebook (320 GB) so I can store movies, games, and even my entire music library! It's fast and stable too. It's definitely the best bang for your buck.
Very portable laptop
Good laptop. The only thing missing is a blue ray dvd rom and bluetooth to make it worthwhile.

Gateway will not support you
We bought a Gateway at Office Depot, then a year later Windows crashed. Tried restoring it from the hard drive, but that restore partition was hosed. Get this-if you don't buy it from their website, you have to call a toll number for help, not the toll free number! WTF!? Then they charged me $20 for a stupid restore disk, which they burned on a CDR! Later they wouldn't even talk to me unless I paid them money. These people suck. Do yourself a favor and get a Mac.
Nice Laptop
Although the last guy seems to feel that all Gatway computers are crap since he had a bad experience with another unit. I can say that the T1630 that we own has been nothing but perfect. We have had this computer for about 9 months and purchsed it from Best Buy. The speed is very good, out last Dell was faster but we paid for that upgrade in speed. We have always been Dell or HP owners, this is our first Gateway but will not be the last.
Disappointed in Gateway
We bought a similar model Gateway MT3422 9 months ago. About 5 weeks ago it just stopped working. It was a nice computer while it worked but then it just stopped. Gateway has had the computer for 5 weeks, trying different repairs, without success. They refuse to replace it or refund our money. They win this battle but I will never buy another Gateway again.

Nice little computer
I ordered one of these from Dell sight unseen. I ordered the Ubuntu Linux version customized with an 8gb SSD, 1gb of RAM, no Bluetooth and no Webcam. it's a great little computer. I mostly got it for checking email, surfing the web and making Skype calls while I'm traveling. Small size and light weight were the main features I was looking for. The Mini 9 is half the size and weight of my full size laptop.
I chose Dell over Asus and Acer because I think Dell makes better quality products. The Asus eeePC looks kind of cheaply made. I didn't order the Acer, because I've had hardware problems with Acers in the past and Acer tech support pissed me off. The HP netbooks look good, but I've been a bid Dell fan for years. Dell is also the only manufacturer that ships netbook computers with Ubuntu, the most popular Linux operating system. I am switching to Linux because Microsoft pissed me off with Windows Vista. I switched to Ubuntu Linux on my full size old Dell laptop as well.
So here is my review. This little computer is very solid and well built. I think it will last for years, like the other Dell products I've owned in the past. The battery life is good. It's rated at 4 hrs, but other reviewers claim 3 1/2 hours. That's still pretty good. The card reader slot is a nice feature. I picked up a 4gb SD card from Amazon for $10 for extra storage. Some XP users even get a 16gb SD card and move their My Documents folder to it do save hard drive space. The 8.9 inch 1024x600 screen is very sharp. It's a great quality screen, but it is kind of small. Oldsters will need to get out their reading glasses to use it. I think any computer this small would have the same problem though. I would give this computer 5 stars, but the keyboard takes some getting used to. Some of the keys like ' are hard to find and the shift key is small. I find myself hitting the touchpad while typing and it makes the cursor jump all around. Now I use a USB mouse instead of the touchpad. It works a lot better that way. I can live with the small keyboard. It's just a compromise for the small size, weight and portability.
Take it everywhere!
When I saw the Eee PC's, I knew I would eventually get one, or some other kind of netbook. This Dell is a dream, and it does the basic stuff I want-- email, web, video playback, iTunes, and word processing. This is not a gaming PC, something for graphics or modeling software, not for any kind of software that takes up a lot of RAM and processing power, and it's probably not suitable as a main PC for most people. It's a glorified PDA for people who want something more than a PDA, but love the portability. That said, if this is making your mouth water and doesn't sound like a step backward in technology, you've come to the right place.
I looked into the Dell Mini 12s, but decided against one because they're simply not as portable. The Mini 12 has a bigger screen, keyboard and hard drive space, but that also makes the PC bigger and less portable. The Mini 9's smaller keyboard will require a bit of adjustment, epecially if you use the F keys very much since they're integrated with the second row of letter keys. I don't have a problem with the size of the screen, but I can see how some might. Try to look at one of these in person before you buy if you think it might be an issue.
The Mini 9 will handle 2GB of RAM, but it can only be shipped with up to 1GB because of the software license with Windows XP. Thank you Miscrosoft for another slap in the face! I mean, anything's better than getting a machine with Vista on it, but REALLY. Dell also put the RAM cap on the Mini9s with Ubuntu, which really makes no sense... Anyway, it's nothing to pop open the cover, put in your extra GB of RAM, close it, and have the zippiest little netbook around. (I think it will handle a 4GB stick, but then you're looking at power and heat issues.) When you turn it on, it's ready to go in no time, even without a memory upgrade! Also, decompress the drive. Compression doesn't save that much space and it runs better. If hard drive space is an issue, add an external drive, thumb drive or SD card.
It doesn't come with a DVD drive, but how often do you really use one? I only use mine to install software and to rip my CDs to iTunes. I don't do either of those things when I'm out and about, and remember, it's all about that portability! Eventually you will need to buy a DVD drive, but you might not need one right away. Also plan on investing in an external mouse if you don't like touchpads. This one is particularly irritating because it's so small. I can't really comment on how this or anything else affects battery life, since I rarely run on the battery. The speakers are really small, so have some headphones on hand if sound is a problem for you.
I got it and immediately covered it with one of those sticker skins later to keep it from getting scratched. It's a glossy finish that you just know is going to get sandpapered if you carry other stuff in your bag. (And who doesn't?) I also got the webcam and bluetooth options, even though I have no use for either of them. That was because hubby will eventually inherit this when I buy something else, so I wanted him to be able to expand this however he would need.
My only other gripe is that when you use this in public, you get a lot of people coming up to interrupt you to talk about it. It's not Dell's fault, but if you need to get something done, don't do it in Starbucks where you'll be interrupted about every 30 seconds. Come on, it's the 21st century! It's difficult to accomplish anything in an environment like that. I had the same problem with my PDA and folding keyboard, and when it started to happen again, I wanted to cry... but my Mini won't let me.
Overall, this is 4 1/2 stars, but the drawbacks are nothing when I can put this in my purse, go to Borders, do my thing, and get out without the achy shoulder. I always wanted a small laptop like this, light enough to carry around, small, with PC power and feel. Now that I have one, the sky is clear, birds are singing and velvet ropes have parted-- well, not really, but this is about as close as I can get.
Battery failed
I ordered my Dell Mini 9 on 9/20/08. The battery has failed and won't charge. I wish I had checked other brands before I ordered this one. The hard drive is small and there is no CD/DVD drive. I purchased an external drive (Targus) and found that I had to purchase software to support the DVD drive. Very disappointed.

Sadly Disappointed
After opening the box, my first impression was that it was a very nicely packaged unit with slim lines and weighed hardly anything at all. The keyboard was small, but I expected that from a little netbook. After awhile I got used to the size and being without a left shift key. I was excited to try out the Ubuntu Remix that I heard so much about. After booting up, I had no trouble navigating around but found that after about an hour of getting to know this netbook, it just froze up. After rebooting, it would work for another 15 minutes then freeze up again. Attempting to connect to my wireless router proved to be a challenge. It constantly dropped the signal and everytime I closed and came back to use the internet, I had to re-install it to the wireless. There were no instructions other than a brief pamphlet guiding you through the quick start set-up which was no help at all. When going to the Ubuntu site on my PC, I felt at a loss as the procedures for trouble shooting and setting up was beyond my technical abilities and comprehension.
After many attempts it finally did work fine until 2 weeks later when I took it on a business trip (the reason why it was purchased in the first place). After initially connecting to my hotel wi-fi, I had the same problem of the dropped connections and re-installing every time I turned the computer back on. Freezing as soon as I logged on and error messages got me so frustrated that I took it down to the neighborhood electronic superstore for technical help. Unfortunately, after the techician's attempts at trouble shooting it, he found that it was the Ubuntu OS that was causing the problem. Not being too techinically literate and not having much time since I was late for my meeting, I could not understand the problem so I gave it up for loss. I decided to take a quick look around the store and see what they had to offer, being that I needed a computer desperately. I hurriedly purchased another well-known brand with the choice of Ubuntu or Windows XP. Needless to say, I purchased the familiar XP which to this date has given me no problems after almost a month.
Granted, Ubuntu Remix may be a great system for some but I'm sorry that it did not work for me. I was very excited to be able to change over from windows because of all the good reviews that I've read and would have loved for it to work out. I've decided to keep the little Sylvania and install the Windows XP on it for my niece.
Now yellow means anything but caution.
The color is what any New Yorker would recognize as taxi-cab yellow, though this time you don't have to keep watching the meter, because the battery has plenty of juice -- mine goes for a few hours and then some, and that's with Wifi on the entire time. (Granted, that's not as impressive as the eight hours claimed by some netbooks, but that is one of very few shortcomings of this unit.)
This was the fifth netbook I've tried -- returned all four others due to technical problems, ranging from non-responsive trackpads (an Asus and an Aspire) to sudden shut-downs -- and after weeks of use, I've found the Sylvania G Meso to be the highest quality product of the lot.
The clicker buttons on the trackpad are far easier to press than the ones on the Asus and Aspire One -- boy, were those stiff and impossible! -- but to be thorough, I should mention that the HP Mini-note's buttons are easier still, though the HP's higher price and lower specs don't make it a contender.
Internet speed on the Meso is good, but even though I'm in love with this machine, I have to admit there are times when it seems just a tad slow. I'm no computer geek, but my gut tells me there may be some tweaking that could speed things up -- one reviewer said that installing the regular Ubuntu (versus the Remix that comes installed) could help, and I have a feeling some security software I added could be slowing things down. But to be clear, this is a FAST computer for the most part, and web pages load effortlessly most if not all of the time.
Screen images are crisp and clear, and the soothing non-glare finish is so easy on the eyes, I didn't experience the eyestrain I might have expected from an 8.9-inch screen.
And the best thing: this taxi-cab yellow computer costs so little, it won't be the end of the world if you end up leaving it in the backseat on an actual taxi.
Splendiferously GOOD!!
It took a while to get my new Meso G netbook (I don't think they can make them fast enough!!). First I couldn't believe how cheap it was but when I fired it up I was seriously impressed. The screen quality is superb, crisp, bright clear graphics but with hardly any reflections like you get on some laptops. The build quality of the netbook is outstanding. It appears very well built.
I did have to run the firmware update from Sylvania's web site to get the wireless working properly. I got the Ubuntu version (absolutely brilliant - no "Windows tax", no viruses, no malware, no adware, very fast and TONS of FREE software you can install at will to do just about anything!!). I did however update the system to the latest regular version of Ubuntu - which also made the wireless much much faster!
The keyboard is a little small (like all netbooks) but it didn't take long for me to get used to it. I bought the smallest laptop bag I could find for it. The meso fits in one of the "half" pockets inside the bag!!! Also, when in the bag with power supply, etc. it still feels like the bag is empty. This is going to be a dream for traveling!
I have one of those Cricket broadband USB modems. I was amazed that it simply worked as soon as I plugged it in. No messing around at all.
I keep all my major files (music, photos, etc.) on a remote server. I've set up my Meso so I can mount the remote disks via sshfs at will. For example, I can now play and organize my music using Rhythmbox (the free Linux iTunes type app) seamlessly without having to keep any files on the netbook. It also works great with my iPod.
If you want a small, portable, lightweight yet very powerful machine for email, web surfing, etc. then I would definitely recommend the G meso!!!

Toshiba is junk
I've bought two Satellite laptops, and both have had their batteries fail within two years. One of them won't keep a charge for more than a few minutes, and sometimes powers off when you disconnect the AC power; the other sometimes just shuts down at the slightest movement. When we called the tech support, they didn't mention that the batteries were subject to recall; now I just found out, and Toshiba won't process the recall. I don't know if the problems are battery related, since it'll cost $500 to have Toshiba diagnose the problem. That's right, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS once it's out of warranty.
The screen on the newer laptop - just two years old - has gone funky, with some horizontal lines.
They both run somewhat warm, with the fan going nonstop.
As you can tell, these are my last Toshiba laptop purchases. It's great value for the first year, so enjoy!
sweet little computer....
I wanted to find a smaller computer when I finally got tired of lugging my 17" Gateway laptop around. I originally wanted the Sony Vaio, but there was no way I was spending the $2600 to buy a computer slower than this one...so, I bought it because it was a great deal. I have been very happy with this machine, though there are a couple drawback...
1. The heat. Others have talked about it, and if you are working on your lap, um, like you would occassionally do with a, um, laptop...you can get really uncomfortable. I have actually burned myself when I rested the computer on my bare leg while wearing shorts. I have a monitor for this thing and I use a cooling pad with it when it is on my desk, and I have a mini cooling fan that also tilts the computer at an angle more conducive to typing...so, overall, I only worry that it may shorten the life of the computer.
2. Not crazy about Vista, but getting used to it. Was REALLY ticked that the Mcfee security software is set up so you cannot just uninstall it easily, like any normal program. You have to hunt through the drives and erase individual folders, which was too much hassle for me an I just paid for the software...which is what they intended, I am sure. Still, it is kind of like blackmail. I have some programs that I could not download on the computer due to Vista and some of my writing programs I have to right click on the icon and open as an administrator, just to get the Vista to allow the program to run.
As far as anything else...I have not really noticed a short battery issue, because I always carry the cord with me...so, I cannot speak to that. I did buy a screen protector...(they sell them here on Amazon for 12.1" laptop screens)...and that has helped with the glare issue. The computer is fast and has been no trouble for over a year now. I would recommend it if you want to get something that has the size and speed to do almost all home and business applications while remaining remarkably portable.
If you wanted something more portable, I would check out the Acer EEE machines, I love mine, but it is not really something you can do work on...
Toshiba Satellite Laptop
This laptop fit the bill. I had a Libretto before but needed to update. This laptop filled the bill. Small, lightweight and fast. I liked it so well I bought one for my girlfriend, who is now my wife, so she must have liked her's as well.
