vaios are meant to be very good and high spec like the auction says i have no idea when it comes to fixing electronics, maybe ask cycovision, seems like a good price and if you can fix it then you could make a decent profit i suppose.

Personally I'd keep it, I think you would get a bit more for it than you paid but not a huge amount. It's a good laptop but it's not great by todays standards.
Still a bargain at that price though

@copper, who said that? (referring to your first post)
Vaio's are generally crap, you wouldn't find someone in Japan with a Vaio (well you could, but it would be like finding someone in the UK with a Hitachi laptop)
Sony are known for taking other companies stuff and cramming them into a nice design. I would trust a vaio when it comes to longevity.
A Mac? A Toshiba? A Sharp? Yes, but a Vaio, no.
@original poster
However overall, I think you did get a good deal. (if he's telling the truth)
Might be that the graphics card needs to be inserted properly, or a good old update.

@amnesia
Just general people i have spoken to who own them are perfectly happy with them, however it is all down to personal taste.
I do not like pc's at all i would never go back, just depends on what you like.
One thing i like about sony are there designs.
Everything electrical i own is sony apart from my laptop!

but somebody who bought a vaio would obviously say it's great since they own it.
And Sony fans are just like Apple fans, they'll defend them adamantly.
A Japanese person will tell you that Sony do MP3 players and some cams the best.
It just comes down to reliability and service, and sadly they're nice until you've bought the item.
you should read the amazing amount of horror stories that people have had.
