Hey everybody, what’s happening

Been a lurker for a couple months now as I awaited the day I was going to purchase my VAIO.  Today is that day!  Thought I’d join the fun here and be part of the club.

In case you’re wondering, I have the S360.. an amazing machine.

Sony rules!

Welcome “back” to the community then. Congrats on your purchase of the S, its a great machine to have. I own one too, and I am enjoying every moment I spend on it in college. 

You know when you have that feeling that someone is watching you :ph34r:

Welcome to the S crowd! As always, this forum welcomes all lurkers-turned-members.  :wink:

Hello. You’ll enjoy this forum to bits, its a great place. Congratulations on your new purchase. I know that feeling as soon as you open the box, that smell of your brand new machine, and the sheer power you feel. Or may be just im really trying to get to my 700.

Thanks guys!

I’ve already had my first heart attack with my baby…

Was moving it around last night and the thing would just keep shutting down… It even shut down once just when I pulled out the AC adapter from the computer. I thought something was terrribly wrong.

Then I realized the battery wasn’t locked in position. I guess jerking it around a little bit was unconnecting the battery and the laptop would just shut down because of lack of power.

Simple, but until I realized what it was, I thought she was already broken!

First impressions:

Great screen, although it’s a little dim in the bottom right hand corner.. not sure why.

Amazing keyboard.  I’ve used a lot of my friends’ laptops, my parents’s etc., and one of the things I noticed about the S was the firmness and quality feel of the keyboard.  Not loose or spongy or anything.  You get what you pay for.

Fan noise.  At first I noticed the fan would always come on, but after a little tweaking with the power settings, it was an easy fix.

I can’t wait to take it out on the road.. it’s show-off time

Yeah, the loose battery is annoying. I’ve inserted a shim (aka a club flyer folded in half) to keep it from jiggling and it’s a perfect fit now.

Hey! mine still smells like brand new.. because after I’m done with it I put it back in the box… NOT!! 

Hey congrats MacGarnicle..  BTW I had that same problem on the battery part where I turned it on and it won’t.. Make sure you put some sticky side-soft rubber or something in the inside plastic of your battery against the inside walling of the battery compartment so it won’t rattle..  :idea:

good suggestions guys, thanks.. the S feels super solid now.. just trying to look for a nice case to hold her in.. don’t want any scratches.
