![]() ![]() There isn't really an upgrade path - Windows Server 2008 is about the best OS to be running on it, except for the fact that Windows Live Essentials will refuse to install. The build quality issues could probably be addressed on a case by case basis, but their handling of drivers is just awful. The display driver has a glitch that regularly kicks it to non-Aero mode, the hard drive has some sort of fault that leads to the computer shutting off unexpectedly on me, and until I found out which program was causing it I got constant notifications that the hard drive had a critical fault in it - given what I've experienced this is probably true, although I haven't experienced any data loss.I definitely won't be buying a Sony laptop in the future. It also regularly dies on me, so I have to leave it off for a while, and eventually it'll decide it wants to turn back on. ![]() The drivers never get updated, and it's not possible to install the regular detonator drivers, nor is it possible to install 64-bit drivers, and the BlueTooth driver requires a license for Windows 7. The hinge was crappy and has snapped on one side. The headphone jack broke early on, giving me no sound at all for a while as it thought a headphone was inserted when there wasn't any at all. I'm not sure what it was as I could never narrow it down, so I just disabled system sounds. ![]() I got it for free from my brother because it had a defect that had some hardware disconnecting and reconnecting regularly and that just annoyed him to no end. Spec and feature wise, the VGN-SZ650N is pretty good. ![]()
