It's sony, love it:) Is black now, more updated and much easier to use. Love it since it doesn't get that dirt compared to the one I had before:Ppapermariofan57

I like Sony products, built to last long, as it is my old pc is sony but currently Out of order more so from OS errors. Otherwise, it's still strong like an ox!

However, sony computers are expensive. I would rather have a toshiba laptop, like the one I'm using right now. :P

What kind of antivirus if you don't mind me asking and as for the "guaranty" or waranty most would say, was that purchased because last I remember Sony only has a given 1 year waranty unless extra waranty was purchased along with it.

Norton I think, I Have to call to install the other one. The waranty is one year with the store I brought it and two years with Sony. Had to pay like 99 extra dollars, which are included in the 830.

Don't use, Norton, that is just a power hogger with very basic security. I would recommend get avast! Free, way less of a power hog and much better than Norton by a long shot.

Ah, alright, just making sure. You could have just said don't want to 2 extra years of the warranty and paid less but, oh well.

Ah, well if that's case then.

Also saying it again, don't use Norton, avast! free version is much, much better by lightyears.

It's okay that you like it, just it has been proven the Norton and McAfee are pointless resource hoggers.

No blue screen of death, which sort of shocked me. Nah, it just loads up to some almost bios screen and has some error for no partition. Whatever.

I'm using windows 7 X64, and it's great. I also had Vista installed for about a year and it ran without any problems. I don't get why so many people hate it? Actually, the only difference i saw when i switched to W7 was the UI..

Using Windows 7 at the moment. Have backup computers running on Vista and XP.ff7fan2
Just remembered that the computer running on Vista is actually dual-booting with that and Ubuntu 10.04. It takes about 5 minutes for it to shut down when running Vista and approximately 20 seconds to shut down when running Ubuntu.

Whenever possible I want to get Windows 7, should I get the upgrade version or stand alone?
