PERFECT!.......2002-07-26

I just picked up this computer (refurbished) off of ubid.com. I picked it up for 600 bucks and I was a bit aprehensive. It came proffessionally packed and even smelled new! I fired it up and I have to say this thing is fast, easy to use, and forgiving considering I have not owned a computer in over 4 years! Pick yourself up one! Its totally worth it! And oh yeah, I also picked up a 17" monitor off of ubid.com for 75 bucks...the whole system shipping included in under 900 bucks! Not bad eh? -jewels

Very Nice Machine.......2002-05-09

I bought this PC for my mother, (her first one) and was looking for something that was easy to use and she wouldn't have to upgrade for a long time. I have to say that this machine is one of the best I demo'd (and I looked at alot before decideing). I agree with everything the others have written about this machine, but would like to add one thing. The speakers with this PC were awesome!! When I first checked it out, I kinda thought they sounded pretty good, but then listening to all the other systems, I realized they were far better then anything else I'd looked at. Just to see i went over to where they sold Addon speakers and started playing some. Forget about... [expensive] speakers, this machine blew them away right out of the box... If this is going to be your first PC or your just looking for a good next one. For the price you will not be disappointed.

Plenty of everything.......2002-05-09

Awesome system! I was happy with my PentiumII 500Mhz 128MB RAM system for most everything, but I use Cakewalk digital recording software which can become quite a memory hog and very processor-intensive when running over 8-tracks with intense effects processing. This Sony system lets me push it to the limit. I've run over 16-tracks with lots of effects processing, and the Cakewalk software hardly shows any signs of lagging. Best thing is, I've experienced no dropouts at all. And of course, the speedy CD recorder is heaven as I burn and copy my audio CDs quite often. I definitely recommend this system.

Super fast and way better than I expected.......2002-04-09

My jaw dropped after plugging this one in. I can't believe how fast it is. For once, I don't even know how I'm going to come close to maxing out the capabilities of a computer. The built in DVD ROM is outstanding, and the CD Burner, as others have mentioned, may be the fastest I've ever seen. It used to take me close to 30 minutes to burn a full CD on my old setup, and 5 minutes is pretty standard here. The Windows XP that's bundled with it works flawlessly, and it's a super quiet unit, as well. Hats off to Sony for making a great computer that I'm 100% happy with.

A Power Packed PC! Awesome!!!.......2002-04-04

Sony PC's are getting better all the time. The 650 is very fast and i'm happy to say that the windows XP operating system is working very well. The software suite is most impressive. If you are interested in working with photos and video, this is the machine to have. I own many Sony products from digital cameras to clock radios and I'll admit that the horror stories about Tech Support are mostly true. However, most Sony gear works so well you rarely need it. The Vaio series, and digital studio line in particular have all the features you could need in a stable and solid system. Go buy one!!
