Sony VAIO PCV-W30 Desktop (2.0-GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just picked my Vaio W30 up a few days ago and it is great.I think it is being marketed as a PC for people who don't know much about computers but as someone who is familiar with computers and technology, I really loved the size, the look, the functionality and the price.At 1600 dollars this is a gerat deal.Only drawback is that it does not come packaged with Office or anything which kind of sucks if you don't own Office already and have to pay another 400 bucks for it (like I do).Basically I use my personal computer for music, movies, iPod, digital camera, internet, Word and Excel.This is ample computer for that.512 MB of RAM...as an average computer user you can't possibly need more than that.2GHz processor, there are faster computers out there but really ask yourself if you need it.You probably don't unless you're doing graphic design or lots of intense digital movie editing.The screen is gorgeous and I am very pleasantly surprised by the speaker quality.Although I am hooking mine up to different speakers, these speakers are more than sufficient for a casual user.This is, as advertised, easy to set up.Plug in the mouse, plug in the computer and you're all set.My favorite aspect is the fact that on the side you have 2 USB 2.0 ports (there is a separate mouse port), 2 FireWire connections, a digital memory stick...this computer is made for the person with lots of gadgets.
I'd say the pros are all listed above (price, small size, functionality) and the cons are: inability to upgrade this (although for a casual user or a college student, etc. this will last for several years) and the lack of quality bundled software.
I truly recommend this for different types of people.It is great for young people who want a hip looking multi-media capable computer.It is great for first-time PC users b/c of it's simple design and streamlined approach.Sony is a good company (I'd buy from them directly though rather than here and get the 2 year warranty) and they've made a great computer.Buy it knowing you are getting a wonderful computer for a tremendous price.
