VGC M1 help needed

I just bought a VGC m1 today and must say I have been dissapointed so far with it, first of all because I am getting a rattling noise whenever a loud noise is made, and second of all because when small pictures are coming up on the internet, they are a bit blurry and have some sort of weird outline around people's heads and things.

I wish to know id this can be fixed and also if I can upgrade the measly radeon 9200 graphics card it has on board, are there pci slots inside the machine or is it all on board??

Please help me , I feel as though I have just wasted over 800 pounds.

Sounds that the Speaker quality is poor.:smileysad:

Maybe it's a Browser problem.

I don't know if you could upgrade the graphicscard, but you need a AGP slot for this.

But you say you have bought it today, if you are unhappy then take it back.

I would definately swap it, there are some nice RS desktops for that price range

Hello,
i bought a vgc-m1 about 3 mouths ago and i can tell you that i don't have the deasegrement you have with yours.
First i was surprised because it's noiseless compare to a tradional desktop (big case). No problem with pictures or videos anymore, the screen with x-black LCD technology it's a very good thing.
Speakers and integrated subwoofer are great too with a correct sound definition.( more power will be appreciate, but ...)
From my point of view, apparently the only foible point it's the graphic card, and i say apparently because i didn't test it yet with an exited game.
It's my point of view ....:smileygrin:
Welcome to the vaio world and be objective, maybe you have one with troubles .... don't waste time for your guarantee ...:smileyconfused:

Hello seb21,

I didn't understand this ..... you make me a little bit unconfortable ... :thermometer_face:
Am i the one and the only one happy with my vaio ???? Please give me another good point of view, vaiomen and vaiogirls help me, and tell me that i'm not alone !!!!!!:smileyhypnotized:

To be sure there's sometimes strange things with vaio but i think it's an informatic rule .... not a sony speciality ??!!:smileydevil:

No, I'm happy with my VAIO too. Because I have no problems since I have bought it. There is only the point, that Software and Driver updates are coming really late. And the Sony costumer support lacks.:smileysad:

I hope you are right.
