Purchased 1 month ago as a floor model. Saved $200 over lowest price on internet. I'm a photographer and nothing that I run seems to bother it. It's very stabile, even though I don't have much expierence with XP/MCE. This is my first Sony, usually buying Dell or Compaq in the past. The minute it causes problems, you will be the first to know. Buy it. The features are incredible and it currently seems to be crash proof.

I have had my Sony for over a year now and I love it. It's very user friendly. My Sony crashed a year ago today. I lost everything on the computer and quickly took my computer in to Circuit City as that's where I bought it and they told me that the harddrive had crashed. Then I called Sony support to see what my options were as it was still under warranty. They walked me though steps to try to fix the computer, which didn't work and then decided that I needed to reformat my harddrive and overnighted me the disks to get that taken care of. I received the disks the very next morning and of course, that didn't work either so I called them again, wierd thing is I got the exact same person I spoke with the day before! He remembered me and said he would send a tech out ASAP to look at my PC and replace what was needed. Tech dude came out and decided I needed to have my motherboard replaced as well as my hardrive, came back a couple of days later and the computer worked! I was so happy, then it crashed again about 5 min later. I again called Sony, and again, I got the exact same guy I originally spoke with! Told him what happened and he then said that my next option was to send it in, of course, like everyone else I was worried about cost, he told me not to worry about it that they were going to overnight me a empty box so that it could overnighted back to them, at no cost to me! It took them a week to take care of everything with my PC and overnight it back to me but I have had no problems since. Circuit City thinks, as I do too, that the computer was hacked into (I already knew that before it crashed) and it just killed everything in there, everything inside my computer was replaced except my disk drives. I have had no problems since so would I recommend a Sony to other people? Absolutely! Great customer service, great support, very speedy and I have had no problems at all since the crash/replacements.

Why does the top part saying this comp has 2gb RAM max, while the Specs below saying 4gb RAM max? Which one is correct?

This computer is a gamer's dream PC! Too bad it's so expensive... :(
