Comments about Sony VAIO EG2 VPCEG26FX/B 14" Notebook Computer (Black):
Have only had this Sony VAIO for a couple weeks, but it has worked perfectly so far. I like the chiclet-style keyboard. The Intel i5 processor and 4 GB RAM are plenty fast for our home use which includes email, word processing, image and video handling. One of it's regular uses is for video Skyping with distant family members - the screen image is perfectly acceptable and built-in webcam works very well. Speakers are good for a laptop.

The Laptop reached on time in UPS ground without any Damage. Really I was happy about the product. I was having Sony Vaio for the last 3 years and no issues that is the reason I bought this for my Brother.
Good Value and nice deal!

Comments about Sony VAIO EG2 VPCEG26FX/B 14" Notebook Computer (Black):
I can honestly say it feels good to have a quality laptop again. My old one broke on me one day in a crucial area, and I left it behind with this model. Sony's VAIO line has good customer service and the shovelware on this hasn't been nearly as bad as on other laptop brands. So far it's been reliable, sturdy and quiet, although I notice some double-lettering with the keyboard. It's unclear to me if that's due to the design or my getting used to a new keyboard though. I've got no complaints!

Comments about Sony VAIO EG2 VPCEG26FX/B 14" Notebook Computer (Black):
The product arrived on time and excellent customer service provided by B&H, they were referred by one my friends. The product is quite amazing, there is nothing i dint like about it. The quality of the speaker is good but not sound, when you connect it to the speakers it is very sweet to hear. well designed. Before i ordered wit B&H i checked the price with Sony, [@], [@], etc., there was a price difference of 60-100$. I should say, i saved a minimum of 60$, the best part is there is no tax and shipping charge. Full marks to B&H. Will surely recommend to my friends. Will buy from you in future.
