Any game circa 2004 will run fine, but you shouldn't be expecting much from an on-board video card (also I stress that laptop video card upgrades typically are impossible) The Machine does have a Blu Ray drive and I'm sure Sony is more than interested in you watching their new format on it, and to be honest despite the max resolution of 1280x800 the Blu Rays really shine, they look gorgeous and clean ... the problem is there is no DVI ouput just VGA which means you will be watching them on the laptop and nothing else if you want to enjoy your Blu Ray. from Amazon.com Specifications list a high-end "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 graphics (2040 MB total shared)". NOT. The product only has the low-end "Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family". BURNED. from Amazon.com I ordered this laptop as a replacement/upgrade to my old one. I haven't found anything either wrong with it or not as described. I actually shortly after, bought a similar laptop (VGN-NS150J) for my mom as a present. Amazon had the best price I could find and free shipping was decently fast. from Amazon.com Any game circa 2004 will run fine, but you shouldn't be expecting much from an on-board video card (also I stress that laptop video card upgrades typically are impossible) The Machine does have a Blu Ray drive and I'm sure Sony is more than interested in you watching their new format on it, and to be honest despite the max resolution of 1280x800 the Blu Rays really shine, they look gorgeous and clean ... the problem is there is no DVI ouput just VGA which means you will be watching them on the laptop and nothing else if you want to enjoy your Blu Ray. from Amazon.com Great Buy, Great Product, Happy Consumer. Some boot-up hang-ups, but that could be Windows Vista 64 bit. from Amazon.com I ordered this laptop as a replacement/upgrade to my old one.

Amazon had the best price I could find and free shipping was decently fast. from Amazon.com It is a nice laptop for its price. But there is one thing that I am unable to understand: when I bought it for myself, it was 700 dollars. from Amazon.com Specifications list a high-end "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 graphics (2040 MB total shared)". NOT. The product only has the low-end "Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family". BURNED. from Amazon.com We got this vaio some months ago and we've really liked it, it is fast and comes well loaded. from Amazon.com Pros: 1) It's fast. The t6400, 4gb of ram, and Vista x64 are a great combo.2) The screen is gorgeous and BD video looks stunning on it, even outside of native 1080p resolution. As said in other reviews, the contrast ratio isn't as good as many other sony displays, but it's WELL above any other notebook in it's price range.3) The design is impeccable. The rugged, textured, thick plastic clamshell chassis is thick, stylish, durable, and minimalistic in appearance. from Newegg.com
