I do carry two laptops and a tablet most places when I travel.. Both my laptops weigh 5-7kg so the tablet is what I use for watching movies at night..

My laptop (and PC) get hardly any use now thanks to the iPad, Nexus and smartphone. The laptop is not very cost effective either.As for the OP it's probably got a dud system fan and overheating. But yeah...send her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my aim is to get it free and if its just a matter of formatting it and it runs better than awesome.. Already have a 1st gen iPad and that is annoying as it doesnt support all videos on some sites.Putting in an SSD would be awesome but cbf spending anything on it.. Dandy market $10 windows 7 or 8 cd is where I draw the line lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kyle Get It To Wheelspin Uncontrolably Then Give It Another 5 Pounds Cruise Control 2,697 Member For: 14y 19d Gender: Male Location: Work Posted 07/03/13 03:58 AM Author Share Posted 07/03/13 03:58 AM I have a gen 3 iPad. It's handy, but doesn't come close to a laptop when researching things, typing emails, and video support. Or web page support for that matter. Yes an android is better for previous comment, but I much prefer having an actual keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,927 Member For: 16y 6m 30d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/03/13 02:48 PM Share Posted 08/03/13 02:48 PM Mike, set back to factory default (follow restore procedure), uninstall ALL of the Sony software (you don't need ANY of it, it slows down all even reasonably new VAIO's to an unusable level). Then install the stuff you need (firefox/chrome etc) and go nuts! Well my aim is to get it free and if its just a matter of formatting it and it runs better than awesome..
