 Same thing happened to me.... August 15, 2010
SW_Disappointed
Wish I had seen these reviews earlier since I purchased a 14-inch VAIO VPC-CW21/L model on Amazon in early May. Beautiful looking, and worked fine for about a month, before starting with "No Operating System Found" messages. Re-boots initially helped, but eventually not. Sony sent field service to replace hard drive (500 GB). Problems reoccurred within days, with next step re-formatting new drive. This did not help either. Now I see they evidently have known this problem existed, which frosts me even more. Still unresolved today!
The only thing these companies understand is never buying their machines again! Quality is terrible these days, too much indiscriminate cost cutting go on. So much for purchasing a "premium" laptop.
Had even worse luck with Samsung Rant mobile phones, with 3 of 6 new phones failing within 19 months! Terrible.
I Was Astounded! August 11, 2010

I loved the technical details. Then, I was intrigued by the customer reviews, i.e., a lot thought it was fab, a very few called it "junk."
I took what I thought was a common sense risk. I bought a REFURBISHED one. I figured it might have been one of the returned "lemons" which was now fixed.
Now make sure you don't miss this most important part: It came from WAREHOUSE CENTRAL.
When it arrived I plugged it in and it wouldn't even boot, greeting me with only a fatal error message!! An expert I took it to said "nothing in it recognized anything else in it"!!!
I can understand some flaw deep inside the works, but how can someone let a pc go out the door without even PLUGGING IT IN???
However, I must highly compliment Amazon.com, for they fully refunded my purchase price, immediately, before they even got the computer back!
i would say be very cautious, though, if the name WAREHOUSE CENTRAL appears ANYWHERE!
 Great functionality; Good Materials June 6, 2010

Overall, the computer is great. Windows 7 and very little crapware makes this laptop very easy to configure to your tastes. I gave this only four stars because of the build quality. The case around the CD tray is rather flimsy, so I inadvertently open the CD tray when I grab it from the side. Additionally, I cleaned the keyboard with isopropyl alcohol and the trackpad had a white haze when the alcohol evaporated. This is an indication of the plastic reacting with the chemicals in the alcohol. This is the first time I have seen this on the several laptops that I have owned, so this is an indication of a lower-grade plastic used for the trackpad.
I will never, ever buy Sony again May 23, 2010

Laptop was over $2000 when bought new. Came LLOOAADDEDD with junkware (e.g., worthless demo software). Took hours to remove all of it. So far: 1) graphics card, battery, mouse key are allll broken just after warrenty expired. All components are SUPER cheap. This laptop is the worst constructed, engineered piece of crap I've ever used and guess what, I paid premium price for it! Expect no more out of Sony.
 I love this VAIO May 5, 2010

I normally used DELL computer; have a Latitude D620 that is a great laptop and very dependable so I wasn't very convinced to change for a SONY. My father recommended, so I decide to take the risk.
I'm some kind of a demanding user, normally work with many windows open, and use a lot of application like Visio, SQL, etc., so need a very power computer.
The SONY VAIO VGN-NW330F/B gives what promise, I'm very happy with this laptop, and looks very nice. I'm happy with his 4GB of RAM and his 500GB of Hard Drive, work great feel comfortable.
I really recommend it.
