I was wondering since the type S has been out for a little while…I was wondering how you guys ended up liking them…I know with me…I get very excited when I get something new…Now for most of you its not that new…So I am hopping to get a un bias opionion….

1. did it meet your expectations?

2. If you could go back would you purchase it again?

3. Are there any major problems that have occured?

4.  What is your overall thought on how much you like it in the begging and how much you like it now?  Is it the same, more or less?

1) Yes, most definitely. I have yet to think “if only…” with regards to my S.
2) Yup - no worries.
3) Well, I exchanged it twice, and this third machine is marvellous - i’m sure you’re all bored of my musings over the last couple of months regarding my S experiences, so I won’t repeat them here.
4) I am totally satisfied with my S series - it’s probably the best laptop I have owned - even whips my Toshiba 5200 in to shape!

Luckily I received a recovery disc with my S. I have also upgraded the hard drive to an 80gb 5400 rpm model and its great.
My TR is still in use - I tend to use the S for entertainment and general work, and the TR is used for meetings and music so I’m happy all round!

Well, I am very happy with the Type S. Its the first VAIO laptop I ever owned. I was first put off by the super high prices that Sony set for their Vaios, so I got for myself a Dell 600m. It was only after 3 months of usage that I felt that Sony VAIOs are “the” machines for me. I was totally captivated by their designs and incidentally, put off by the price too. Well, the S has been serving me well ever since, lightweight, speedy, enough juice to keep running without the need to plug in, beefed up like my previous Dell 600m; a lot lighter as compared to my Dell Brick… I am a student, so I would want something that I can type on for extended hours without too much strain on my eyes while I am in campus; thats what made me choose the S over the TR. I feel that the S is more cut out for work; the looks and everything, not as beautiful as the TR, but then, good enough for me. Any of my future upgrades will definitely be a VAIO; at least for now.

I’m extremely happy with my S. The upgrading capabilities are impressive, and the performance is much better than the T or TR.. The size difference is not that noticable in my opinion.. I never notice that it is slightly heavier, it’s just as easy to carry around.

european version are released and sold with the recovery discs ... so no screwing around for european users :mrgreen:

Thanks for everyones replies! :D   It seems like you all really like your S very much…Thats good to hear…I think its the best in its class…And would like to have one…

Hmmm…maybe I’ll get one…But, I just got a T so I’ll have to wait a little while so I don’t give my wife a heart attack…

Thanks
