SONY VAIO AW Series VGN-AW190JAH Intel Core 2 Duo P8600(2.40GHz) 18.4" 4GB Memory 250GB HDD BD Combo NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT NoteBook - Retail

I got exactly what I was expecting. A big display, High def, a separate number keypad and hdmi out. Gets a lot of attention at airports

Battery life, need to install different software like Powerdvd if you want to play your BR's using HDMI out to a hdtv. Lots of Sony bloatware of course, Vista

Looks really nice. The screen is the biggest "buzz" on this beast. But it pretty much ends there for me and this review

I bought 2 of these, one for me and one for my wife. She's a graphics consultant and I'm an IT consultant that plays with photoshop and 3ds max

Great prcessor, great video, Blu-Ray, Vista 64-bit, this system works great. Bought for my son Christmas 2008 and he is so happy. gaming has never been better, except he kills me in Madden 2008. Every inch a power house

As with most laptops, sound. However, we added some very small portable speakers and it was 100% better

Screen

usb device issues

High quality craftsmanship, what one would expect in a good Japanese product. Made of a very sturdy plastic. Basically what I expected performance-wise. Very nice display for a laptop. Stays cooler than I expected

Viewing angles on the display could be better, I think that it is a TN panel but as far as I know one would be hard pressed to find a laptop that had any other type of panel. The power LED is annoyingly bright

Same as on my past two reviews

None really. The more I use this baby, the more I like it

None really. The more I use this baby, the more I like it ; I still haven't found the perfect backpack for it, though, but that's the fault of the people who make the backpacks. Come on guys!!! Catch up

RAM may not be expanded beyond the stock 4GB; second hard drive may not be installable at all ; Very hard to find a backpack or case where it'll fit snugly

Elegant looking, big, nice screen with little or no glare, no backlighting issues, lightweight for size (can be transported easily enough without strain), sound quality nice, love the full keyboard, plays Blue Ray great. Handles games with no problems...

This is my second Sony and as with the first, making recovering disks is a pain. USB's quit working when doing updates. Solution: remove battery and let total power drain. Still having some issues with Bluetooth and Fingerprint reader. Lots of...
