message: The articles states that the screen is not so great outside due to excess reflections. I have a new-generation X-Black screen (Superceding X-Brite), and it has a purple sheen when light hits it, minimising reflections - should this be reflected (ba-dum pish!) in the article's content? Just a thought. User:83.67.3.25 Midnight, 12 July 2006(UTC)
:Thanks for taking an interest in improving the article. Basically, any additions that you can support with a reference from a reliable source are most welcome. To many new contributors, this seems an onerous requirement, but it is necessary to keep up the quality of articles, and allow visitors to verify that the information is accurate. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 23:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Screen Reflectivity?

message: Anyone got experience with the SZ2VP yet? I know it has only been out for sale 6 weeks... I've ordered mine and it is on it's way to me now. Should be here any time now!
However it wasn't easy to obtain one for me.  
Vaios are not for sale in Norway and Sony UK didn't care to ship it directly to me, so I had to order mine through a independent 3rd party company in the UK.
I choose a SZ2VP because:
* It's portable and easy to bring along anywhere, anytime
* It looks great
* I prefer quality and durability
I will use my SZ2VP for:
* Firm related management & tasks
* Assignments at the college university
* Storage space for files and management of my PSP
* Sofa surfing
Best regards,

message: Would people please stop changing the acronym for VAIO! Look under Naming Concept under Origin and Philosophy of VAIO at the Sony Global Website. VAIO stands for Video Audio Integrated Operation. Don't touch it.

message: Hey, I've got a VAIO VGN-FS550 (Amazon detailed specs), and not a single FS model is mentioned!  I don't know much about them, so I'm not going to go and add the section, but as far as I know they're a line of slim, widescreen notebooks, with an Intel Centrino processor and a WXGA/XBRITE monitor (around 14-15 in.). -Matt 01:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a matter of fact, according to the Sony page (Flash warning) for the VAIOs, the FS is the last model they've released so far (in 2005) in the notebook market. -Matt 01:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: The problem with this page is that somebody decided to list all the available default configurations of only the current models of VAIOs offered by Sony. What we should do is get rid of the different configurations of the same series and replace them with a list of all the series ever made, with short descriptions of each.(Myscrnnm 07:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Most of the pop culture references sound more like product placements to me. I wonder if the list should be trimmed or removed entirely as it is quite uncommon to see a Pop culture references section for notebooks anyway. --Cyhawk 17:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Hello, I agree with you. There are some models which are part of Sony's line that are not even mentioned on this page, I think this is very outdated. What do you guys think about including this in the products section? As of 2013, Sony counted on a extent range of VAIO products, with 7 different lines of products. The most basic are the models contemplated in the E, T and S series. The most prestigious laptop series is the Z Series. Sony also has a range of hybrid notebooks with touchscreen features, with models called Vaio Duo 11 and Vaio Tap 20, as well as a desktop model under the L series. All this information can be verified on Sony's website, which includes the most updated list of product range for VAIO: http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/vaio-laptops Please let me know what you think.

message: Many reports online of Vaio DVD drives simply not working. Including mine. As Wikipedia is among the first point of reference for many potential buyers, is this worth a mention? --91.106.255.79 (talk) 21:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: if you can find a verifiable reliable, third-party source that has published regarding this, then yeah, by all means --Kaini (talk) 22:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

text: its unlikely, dropping the drive or general wear and tear would degrade operation but typically the drives are just like in any other laptop. Remember that VAIO power management can turn off the drive in reduced power modes Saticon (talk) 08:07, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Some of the Sony VAIO series have their own wiki-pages, but most do not.  Since the Sony VAIO brand name has expanded, it may be time to restructure this page to a Sony VAIO brand portal, with sub-pages for Sony VAIO notebooks (laptops), subnotebooks (netbooks?), desktop and media centres ... with lists of the main series released by Sony ... some of which already have their own Wiki-pages.

message: Please can someone more knowledgeable fix the bad link in VAIO#Current models to show what the EC Series replaced (probably AR or CW series)?  Thanks. Certes (talk) 13:40, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What did EC series replace? 

message: In the first sentence, it says "Vaio is a sub-brand used for many of Sony's computer products". I think this should be changed, because it seems that all of Sony's desktops and laptops today are manufactured under that brand. You can read this on Sony's wiki article, only earlier was there other brands used instead of Vaio. However, tablets and smartphones are considered computers too, but they use the Xperia brand instead. --PWNGWN (talk) 22:08, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi PWNGWN! I was reading your comment, but I am not sure if I agree... The sentence is not generalizing, it says it is used for 'many of Sony's computer products', not all of them. What do you propose to change? Thanks! Cheers, Zalunardo8 (talk) 10:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The article states that the notebooks currently ship with Win8. Looking at , I see this is no longer true and Win10 is now on the machines. I didn't want to make this edit myself because I am employed by Sony -- although I have no insider connection to Vaio, it might seem like bias.

text: I missed the third and latest move request about the same thing as it wasn't mentioned in the RM banner at the top. Things do have changed though. VAIO is its own corporation now. The naming convention works for VARTA. Because we are supposed to write things correctly, and not just copy others' mistakes and laziness, right? If not, can it at least be titled correctly as VAIO and then be treated the lazy way and be referred to as Vaio in the text? --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 15:44, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
