fs195xp

[Blob]

I've had my FS195XP since mid Feb 05 and already the lettering on the keyboard (letter A in particular) has started to erode, as have other letters to a lesser degree. This is not promising !

I had a cheap keyboard that cost £4 and it didn't wear out

It's not what you should expect from Sony. It's a real bummer infact because I paid good money for my machine (as did everyone else) only to find that some bits are cheap and nasty.

Little things like this changes my perception of Sony.

I thought the brand represented 'Quality':smileysad:

Absolutely TR, they should do better with the old keys.

Lol Seb. I was implying that it's starting to become normal for Sony.

Except my laptop is in pretty much constant use, and the keyboard is in immaculate condition, although it was replaced after 6 months. I've had the new one just as long though, and it's looking great. Wonder if they have just been cost-cutting lately, that's what it sounds like from various things we hear.

The GRX keyboard wasn't good, and that was 2 years ago.

Ahhrg, slow but continuously I think the same. God, I'm happy that my VAIO makes no problems.

Well I recall posting some observations about the latest K series model, they had cut down the features it came with, whilst giving it a higher model number and keeping the price the same. I can't remember offhand what they did, I think they removed wireless LAN as standard and cut the size of the HD.

[kee-lo_]

Wireless LAN should be on there as standard now....
Even Acer do that on their £500 laptops

You are right TT.

K315S without WLAN
K415S with 60GB HDD and WLAN


Graphicscard and RAM is the same since K115S.

LOL, a similar thing with my PCG-FR315. They have only changed the 2,66GHz CPU with a 2,8GHz CPU and called that FR-415S.
