I got a pretty good deal for this model and the timing was right for me to buy a laptop so I got it. I cant find any reviews for this model so I wanted to know if anyone has their opinions. So far i am very impressed by what i got for my money.
P4 2.66
512 Ram
ATI graphics with 64 Ram
40GB hard drive
DVD-RW/CD-RW combo
all this for 1500.00
The only thing im very very disappointed with is battery life. I got less than two hours with the laptop just sitting there. Is this typical for this type/brand laptop?
-
That battery time is not atypical, you should crank down the screen brightness to save the battery as it is often the #1 drain.

Do you still like the laptop (Sony Vaio Frv35)??
Just wondering where you bought it for such a good price. Was it in US dollars and did it include taxes??

Seems like a nice laptop, a bit heavy though. Also hope to get more tthen 2 hrs out of the battery. Paid 1299.97 at costco.

I am also interested on the use of this model after a bit of use ..... i have just sent in my Sony PCG-GRZ630 for the 4th time ... problems overheating & shutting down - fan running like abanchie 100% of the time .... Sony's service & customer service is terrible.
They have offered to replace it with the FRV35.
anyone got any feedback ? -
Do you know whether I can install a second harddrive in this machine...?
Also which F key is to access the bios...?
Thank you.....
I too had a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive quit is this machine, and any diagnostic information you have would be immensively appreciated..
