I will never buy sony again – Steve Smithwick – london uk
I have always liked vaios and bought a viao z to replace my trusty old 10″ screen vaio tr.
It worked fine apart from the scratches on the lcd caused by the keyboard and after 10 months the unit failed. Fair enough they do that, my Toshiba quosmio has been repaired 3 times.
Sony however is different, the only way you can contact them is by phone and on a long automated option that left me on hold for 40 minutes at a time.
My case was complicated in that I bought my vaio while working in San francisco and moved back to the UK with it. Sony Europe would not honour a US garrantee and so I was forced to send it at my expense to San Diego repair centre.
So far I was not really upset, I thought it would return quickly, and I should not have bought such a portable world wide item in the wrong market, obviously you are not meant to travel with it.
This is when Sony became a faceless uncaring organisation. Who would have thought a high tech compoany was unable to email its customer, or track its own records?
In the mean time my quosmio went off to have a hard drive replaced no problem and returned.
Still no word from Sony, After lots of phonecalls through their intermnible auto system and the 40 minute hold times i was told it was about to be estimated.
after still more calls and hold times I was told that there would be a 824 dollar bill for non guaranteed repairs.
The fault i reported was a failed hard drive!
I was promised email contact but none ever came and I still do not have my 2000 dollar laptop back.
Stick to Toshiba they care
Don’t trust Sony – George – Rockville, MD USA
Computers bought between June 26, 2009, and January 31, 2010 were supposed to be given a free upgrade to Windows 7. The purpose of this arrangement was to encourage people to buy computers right away rather than having them wait for the release of the new operating system.
Sony now says that it will only provide the upgrade for “selected” models, and I’m out of luck. I will not buy another computer from Sony. You can learn a lot about a company by how they treat people who already bought their products. Don’t be stupid. Stay away from Sony.
