My New PINK Sony VAIO

18 January 2009 8,384 views 12 Comments

This is the 4th time that I’ve put my laptop in my suitcase, only to turn it on when I arrived back in Hong Kong to find that the back light had been shot. I can still use it, but I can barely see and need to look at it from an angle with the correct lighting – which is still a good because my data is accessible. The laptop was only 3 years old! I hope to run more mileage out of these things. Anyways, after consulting SONY in HK, they estimated a repair cost of $1800 HKD (!? Might as well buy a new one). So I bought a new one!

I’m pretty shocked at myself for choosing an ALL PINK laptop, but truth be told, it looks HOT. It’s sleek and powerful (compared to what I was using before) and it’s completely eye-catching and does not speak Lisa. Check out some shots of it below:

So let me tell you about this Sony VAIO CS series laptop.

It’s completely pink, even the keyboard (and I’m getting a bluetooth PINK mouse that matches to boot)
The keyboard types really nice – each key is rounded and perfect perfect perfect
It’s decked with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM (can’t go any faster than that)
It’s running a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor at P8400 (which is 2.26 GHz)
It’s got off board GForce Video Card (if I rethink about installing World of Warcraft again)
I’m going to use ALL 250 GB hard drive of space just because I have it
Built in camera and microphone for communicating with the parents and friends back in TO
Total cost of just above $10,000 HKD – not bad considering the specs
Free PINK blue tooth mouse
Free carrying case
Local warranty of 1 year
Free extended warranty of 3 months (still better than nothing)

So if you’re in the market for a new laptop – consider the CS series – it comes in White, Black, Sports Car Red, Fabulous Pink and a special edition Brown (I think). But, I would suggest getting it at the Sony Store itself, or you don’t get all the freebies.

This is why I’ve been off line for so long (yes, a whole 2 days, but it seemed like an eternity). It’s because I was without the hardware – but now I’m back and decked in pink and loving it.

Hey I’m about to buy the Sony CS but I’m really worried about the famous horror sound the fan makes..Does yours make that sound? Like everytime the fan turns on and off it makes this tiny motor sound or even a clicking? Thanks for the input hopefully! ‘Cause I really love the look and specs and SONY but I’m wondering if other people are easily annoyed by small sounds? Thank you! =] Hope to get the CS in like a month or two!

My old sony used to make a whrrring sound. I have gone through about 4 different VAIOs in the past 5 years and only that one made a sound. This new CS one doesn’t make that sound and it’s wonderful! It’s very quiet and the fan is on the left hand side, so for those of us who are right hand users and need a mouse on the right hand side, it’s perfect and doesn’t burn your hand!

I love the keyboard, I love how it types, I love the screen and I especially love the colour. A truly satisfied and happy customer!!

what is the exact model of your laptop? VGN-CS?

Yes VGN-CS – however that is now a historic laptop. The computer keeps rebooting itself for no apparent reason, so I off loaded and sold it as soon as possible to buy a new one. I am now using an E-Series from Sony. Pretty good thus far – but note to self always is to back everything up. ALWAYS. Lisa
