Title: Nice Screen; Good Features; Terrible Build Quality
Product review: I was convinced this would be a great notebook. Very good features for the price. The screen is really quite amazing. However, from the start, the computer feels a bit on the cheap side. The battery jiggles a little in its housing, giving the whole computer a somewhat ramshackle feel... as if it is about to break... and lo, it did... multiple times so far. Sony really needs to work on the build quality.I was happy for the first two weeks, then my problems began.1. 2 weeks into owning it, the computer wouldn't turn on without a reset of holding the power button for 30 seconds.2. 4 weeks in, the DVD-RW drive started to work intermittently, then not at all.3. 8 weeks in, the power gave out completely. The machine won't turn on.Sony's in-home service has been OK (will have my 3rd visit this week), but waiting 2-4 days for service has been incredibly inconvenient.
