Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not all that exciting.... and not too terribly robust.
It's a PC after all. Anyway, a bit on the slow side, but used it from time to time to do things that were not supported via Mac.
Worked pretty OK. Until today. The Ethernet connection no longer works... no matter what I plug into it, it does not recognize anything as being plugged in.
Probably used it all of 80 hours, maybe... Pretty cr***y, if you ask me.
(Personally never had anything so significant fail on any of my Macs.)
Rating:  - VAIO VGN FS760
Great screen and decent keyboard. The battery life is pretty good for me, I've gotten 3 hours out of it if wlan is off and I'm only running Word or Excell. What keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the software bundle (no nero burning rom, and roxio sucks) and the graphics card. Dedicated or not, 128 or not, virtually no ATI products, including tv tuners work with this machine. I'm not sure if this is ATI's fault or Nvida's but I'm still stuck with my TV Wonder USB 2 and I can't get it to work.
Rating: - Good Laptop (last you a few years at least)
The Sony FS760 is a solid laptop that also has a dedicated video card which is why I bought it. It may only be a Geforce Go 6400 but at least it's something. The machine is plenty powerful w/ a 1.86 Ghz Pentium M (Centrino) processor. The 512 MB of ram may be upgraded in the future but the dedicated video and strong processor keep me from doing it in such a hurry. I love this computer except for the fact I am a moron and dropped it. It's what I'm using right now. The top metal latch is loose but ... Read More

I always look at the reviews, but I never write one...so here goes.
First of all, I bought this 12/28/05 at best buy for 1099. Great sale.
Pros:
The Screen. It's the reason I bought it. I was sold on the xbrite technology and since I'm a developer and stare at the screen for 10+ hours a day, it was a must (I have a 19" LCD Viewsonic for my desktop, and it looks like the Viewsonic is running about 1/2 power next to the Sony laptop).
The design: I hate ... Read More
