[Gllug] Sony Vaio on Death Row - Low Battery Warning

[Axel Segebrecht]

Hi Drew,

I just wanted to make you aware of the fact that
Sony Vaio batteries run flat after less than 30min.
Their tech rep told me that the pack supplied with
their FX405s is a 'light' battery and only supposed
to last 40min (idle)!

My old Tosh' batteries lasted longer for longer and
it doesn't even have Li-Ion technology.

Their rep also told me I could sent in an official
complaint which would probably go nowhere. How helpfull.

Apart from the battery Sony also refuses to supply
drivers for Win98 (or any other version of Windoze that
is not XP for that matter). Not to mention the complete
absense of *nix knowledge ("Linux? Is that a Windows add-on?").

I recommend not to buy any Sony VAIO products! It's bad
for your health and customer relationships.

PS: I hope to catch some Vaio rep at the CeBIT and
will kick some butt. Maybe this helps.

Regards,
Axel Segebrecht
