 Good product but.. Jan 21, 2010
In general works great, but last week appears small lines in the lowest part of the screen. Reading on Internet it seems that this is common and you have to change a flex cable.

 Annoying sounds Dec 06, 2009
I bought this laptop(white one) in January... i really liked it at first but after a few months it started making sounds .. its really annnoying !!!
 POS Sep 03, 2009
I have the white version of this product(Vaio VGN-CS215J)
Pros: pretty to look at
Cons:
1. uneven or wobbly base. At first, I thought it was one of those rubber feet on the bottom that's sticking out too much, but upon careful inspection, I find that the entire plastic casing is warped. It's a flaw in their production process; it's cheaply made, so to speak, not of good build quality, although the pretty surface would give you an otherwise impression. I then went to my local Fry's and Best Buy's that carry this product and found that ALL of them have this wobbly base. In fact, not only the CS 215 series, but the entire CS series MIGHT have this wobbly base problem. Check your product to see if it has an uneven or wobbly base.
You'll have to check carefully to find this problem. I tried it on different table surfaces, even including a piece of thick glass. The result is the same, however: the base is uneven. To remedy the wobbly base, I am using a piece of paper, folded several times, and tucking it underneath one corner to make it even, when I type.
2. glossy display. I didn't discover this problem until about two days ago, when I started to use it heavily in a branch of Los Angeles Public Library. Under those bright florecent lights overhead in the library, it is very difficult--and uncomfortable--to see the text on the screen. Even in a not well-lit setting, like right now, in a Starbucks Coffee, during the day time, the objects behind me are being reflected on the screen, interfering with the text displayed on the screen! It's a very dissatisfying experience!!!
I bought the laptop this past February from Best Buy. I did not use it that much, because I was living in a house and was using my desktop mainly. I noticed the glossy display problem only about two or three days ago, when I started to use the laptop heavily, as my main comp. This is a huge problem for me, to be honest, because I have to do a lot of work in the library. Called Sony support; they said they could not do much; they advised me to send the unit to their service center to let them have a look see. I told them I do not believe their so-called service center, and I would be inconvenienced with the down time of sending the unit to them and waiting for the unit to be returned to me. And most importantly, the glossy display and the warped casing are not something that their service center could correct. They are design flaws. So to wrap it up, Sony has basically told me that I am screwed, because I bought their shoddy product!
Check your unit, seriously, see if it has a wobbly base, and if the glossy display interferes with your reading underneath a bright light. If you find these problems, call Sony support, let them know this problem. If they are rude to you, maybe we can start a class action suit against them. As consumers, we have certain rights, too, right?

 So Far, So Good! Jul 15, 2009
After researching the best pink laptop for a couple of months, I chose this Sony. This is my first laptop and I am a very basic computer user. It contains all but 1 of the best options I wanted. The color is beautiful and it operates great. I have purchased numerous items from the Internet and this is one of the top items I am very pleased with. I read numerous reviews like this to assist me in my decision and purchase.
Excelent computer Jun 09, 2009
This is a very nice computer and it works perfectly. Very easy to use and keep updated and get support. I am very satisfied. It also looks great on the photos and once you have it in front of you, it does look great, not just on the photos.
