Sony VAIO Fit Series SVF14215CXB 14-Inch Core i5 Vouchers

THIS IS NOT THE VAIO FIT 14.
Perhaps due to some confusion on Amazon's end (or else deceptive practices) this product has been mislabeled as being the Vaio Fit 14-inch variant. This is actually the Vaio Fit E 14-inch variant. This E (basically for economy, or entry-level) means this is slightly fatter and made of matte plastic. This true Fit 14 laptop you'll find on Sony's website is a much more professional, thin aluminum-frame laptop. In truth, Sony should take some of the blame for naming two laptops made from totally different materials and components so similarly (Fit/Fit E) but I just wanted to warn anyone else before they purchase the incorrect laptop.

The device is amazing. It is easy to use, very lightweight, and easy transition from Mac and PC Computers. It had easy set-up instructions and I could customize it as well. Overall, two thumbs up!!!!

Got one for my daughter last July and still waiting for Sony's fix on the built-in wi-fi. Tested it in 3mbps Manila, in 100 mbps Tokyo and in 20 mbps Houston - and it just sucks everywhere! I am seriously contemplating on buying that $22 Intel WiFi Card and request Sony Service Center to replace that horrible Broadcom wi-fi chip, or perhaps I can pay a 3rd party computer shop to do it for me. Last resort, I can probably do the replacement myself with the proper tools.

I recently bought another new laptop (Toshiba) for myself and one of the main checklist items is the built-in wifi card. Thankfully, it has an Intel card and it's simply amazing! When I saw a young lady checking a Fit 14 unit intently in a major consumer electronics store, I warned her immediately about the wi-fi issue. Of all laptop functions that may not work well, this is totally unacceptable!

Perhaps one of the most stupid opinions I heard about this issue is from a Sony Store staff who said that the wi-fi issue is probably attributable to the low-power CPUs of the newer models (but then I have already tried disabling all power saving settings of the Fit 14 and the wi-fi card itself). And he further explained that he wasn't surprised at all that a 3-year old Vaio (my daughter's older laptop) running on i3 is faster than current gen Vaio i5s or i7s in terms of wi-fi. What???

Could have been 5 stars if not for this serious defect. Looks so sleek!
