CNET editors' review
- Editors' Choice: No
- Reviewed on: 07/20/2004
The VAIO VGN-A190's look is Sony through and through, with a demure gray-plastic case that has gently rounded edges and black side cutouts. All told, there are ports and inputs for every conceivable purpose: audio, FireWire, and three USB ports; slots for a PC Card, a modem, and a LAN connection; an external monitor and A/V out; and for music mavens, there's also a Memory Stick slot in the front. The VGN-A190 has a sensitive integrated 802.11b/g wireless adapter that stayed in contact with our access point for 145 feet.
With such a big case, the VAIO VGN-A190 has room for one of the notebook world's most responsive and comfortable keyboards, featuring 19.5mm-wide keys that have a generous 2.6mm of depth. Unlike any other laptop we've seen, the VAIO VGN-A190's wide-aspect touch pad is shaped to match its wide-aspect screen, but it lacks a scroll button for whizzing through long Web pages. The VAIO VGN-A190's multimedia ambitions shine through in a selection of controls for volume (plus a handy mute button), brightness, and zoom tucked underneath the screen, alongside an application-launch button.
The VAIO VGN-A190 snaps into an included port replicator, which consolidates its numerous connections, though its usefulness is somewhat limited. The replicator features excellent external speakers and a range of connectors (for external monitor, DVI-D, optical S/PDIF, Gigabit Ethernet, parallel, S-Video out, four USB 2.0 outlets, and a coaxial connector for the cable line or antenna), but unfortunately, the notebook has no internal TV tuner. You'll need to pick that up separately if you want to watch TV on the road. There are gold-plated composite audio and video plugs, but there's not enough room to connect a twist-on cable-TV connector, so you'll need to use a lower-quality slip-on plug. Although there are Sony VAIO A-series laptops with smaller screens, the VGN-A190 comes in one configuration, with a 1.7GHz second-generation Pentium M processor, 512MB of 333MHz memory, and a reasonably fast multiformat DVD+/-RW burner. The laptop's Hitachi hard drive is competent and reliable, but it's inferior to the 5,400rpm and 7,200rpm drives that come in the HP Pavilion zd7000, the Toshiba Satellite P25, and the Dell Inspiron 9100.
The VAIO VGN-A190's mammoth 17-inch screen has a 1,920x1,200 native resolution and is one of the sharpest, most brilliant displays we've seen on a laptop, but it picks up stray reflections as easily as it does dust and fingerprints. Featuring ATI's latest (as of July 2004) Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics engine, the VAIO VGN-A190's 64MB of video memory pales in comparison to the zd7000's 128MB.
For dorm-bound college students, small-apartment dwellers, or anyone else short on space, the VAIO VGN-A190 is a TV, a stereo, and a computer all rolled into one portable package. The system comes preloaded with a nice software package that includes Windows XP Professional, as well as Microsoft Works 2004 and a 90-day trial version of Norton Internet Security. Sony also throws in software that includes DVGate Plus for video editing, MoodLogic for listening to music based on mood, Click to DVD for creating DVDs, and GigaPocket for viewing and recording TV--although you'll need additional hardware to watch TV on the VAIO VGN-A190 without the port replicator. Still, GigaPocket's logical and attractive controls are superior to those of Microsoft's Media Center software. Particularly good is Zap2it, a Web site linked to GigaPocket that controls the recording process and the online TV listings. Not only can you easily scan and pick shows to record, the software features TiVo-like functionality so that you can record and watch programs simultaneously and fast-forward through commercials. There is, however, some annoying advertising, and on at least one occasion, the software failed to record the program we had selected. SysMark 2004 performance
The Sony VAIO VGN-A190's Pentium M 735 1.7GHz is the first mobile processor we've tested with SysMark 2004. Though neither office productivity nor content creation are its primary ambitions, the VGN-A190 pulled off a good performance just the same in CNET Labs' tests. It came in just 10 percent behind the HP Pavilion zd7000, which itself houses a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 desktop processor. The VGN-A190 certainly benefits from its processor's 2MB of L2 cache; the L2 cache found in the HP's processor is a fourth that size. In fact, the VGN-A190's large cache helps close the performance gap with the zd7000--a system whose processor is 50 percent faster. Though it's no performance monster, the VGN-A190 doesn't fall too short of systems equipped with higher-end desktop processors.

Unreal Tournament 2004 performance
The Sony VAIO VGN-A190, running an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 64MB graphics chip, turned in a good performance in CNET Labs' Unreal Tournament 2004 test. In fact, the VGN-A190 came in 36 percent faster than the HP Pavilion zd7000, which uses a much less powerful Nvidia GeForce FX Go5600 128MB graphics adapter. While this test usually favors the system with the faster processor, the lackluster architecture of the Nvidia GeForce FX Go5600 128MB created the bottleneck, and the zd7000's CPU hardly entered the equation. Due to a slower processor and a graphics adapter with half as much memory, the VGN-A190 came in 16 percent behind the Dell Inspiron 9100.

Performance analysis written by CNET Labs assistant lab manager Eric Franklin.
System configurations:
Dell Inspiron 9100
Windows XP Home; 3.2GHz Intel Pentium 4; 512MB DDR SDRAM 400MHz; ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 128MB; Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 60GB 7,200rpm
HP Pavilion zd7000
Windows XP Media Center; 3.2GHz Intel Pentium 4; 512MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz; NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600 128MB; Hitachi Travelstar 80GN 60GB 4,200rpm
Sony VAIO VGN-A190
Windows XP Home; 1.7GHz Intel Pentium M 735; 512MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz; ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 64MB; Hitachi Travelstar 80GN 80GB 4,200rpm Like other VAIO notebooks, the VGN-A190 comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor, but you need to ship the machine to one of its repair depots (Sony pays for shipping). Upping the coverage to three years costs a reasonable $200.
Sony's online support has it all: software updates and drivers, downloadable manuals, a thorough and searchable knowledge base, tips for setting up the computer, and more. The Web site chat section is a great way for technicians and users to resolve detailed problems, and the discussions are accessible to benefit other users, too. Sony provides toll-free phone support for one year, but it costs $20 each time you use it thereafter. You can e-mail a question or a problem to a technician at any point during the life of the product.
When we put in a test call to Sony's phone-support line, we spent 2 minutes, 45 seconds negotiating with the annoying automatic response system, after which we were greeted by a real person who dealt with our problem quickly and efficiently.

I loved this monster!
Pros: Superb, full hi-def display before anyone even cared about 1920 x 1200. Reasonably stable. Useful docking station/media port included. Screen went kaput after four years.
Cons: XP Home. Awful proprietary Sony software, zero battery life, HEAVY, huge, limited connection options, sometimes up and disconnects from docked speakers. MSRP is ludicrous. Screen went kaput after four years. TV tuner in dock and not computer.
The included docking station and media center is interesting, and works reasonably well. I was never able to get the TV tuner working, which wasn't really the end of the world. The docking station also comes bundled with some decent-sounding, but forgettable speakers that are powered from the station itself. Dock also has RCA in/out, S-video, and an optical out, which I found interesting but never used.
The lid alone comprises nearly half the weight of the thing. It's just a monster. Desktop replacement in every way. There is really no sense in buying it because it offers next to zero functionality as a notebook.
The screen just up and fizzled out after a few years, which was disappointing. I was able to run it through an external display for awhile, but eventually wound up buying a new dell.
She served me well.

Not for heavy users
Pros: Screen, dock station
Cons: Stability, size of AC, Software, bluetooth, wi-fi, customer service, remote,dvd
It looks great and the screen is amazing but...
System stability is terrible. Freezes often.
Before buying check out the size of the AC adapter, you will notice that it's almost heavier than the laptop... why? because usually you wait until you are home to see it so you think the system is kind of light.
The media software is just horrible. Sonic stage is very inreliable and slow. while dvd software is worse (upgrades, reduce the number of options so that you have to get OEM)
Software updates are miserable. There is no update for bluetooth XP2 meaning you can't use both.
The DVD is blocked to certain regions... what sense does that make in a laptop. If you travel you are not able to watch a dvd from a different region.
The remote control only works with the Sony software.
I wouldn't buy it again!!!

Great all around notebook bundle
Pros: Solid feel, unbelievable screen, good battery life (2-3 hours for something this big is very good.); the bundle is great, the speakers are decent, the dock rocks, the remote is cool. RAM is OK but needs 1GB (which is 80 bucks), and now that the 7200 rpm
Cons: The remote software SUCKS. It is not even set to use hotkeys. If you buy this laptop, go purchase a copy of girder. I also cannot believe that sony put the IR reciever on the speakers instead of the laptop, but they did find room for a modem and memory

Big screen, great features
Pros: After having a really BAAAAD experience trying to buy the HP 7000 series with the 17" screen, this proved to be better by a mile. Great features, well integrated. I have found Sony support to be VERY helpful and prompt. Couldn't ask for more in the way
Cons: Sure, the Mac is lighter and cooler-looking, but if you're buying a 17", you're probably not travelling all that much, so it doesn't matter.

VGN-A17GP Overheats and you can feel it
Pros: The screen is the biggest sell for this computer, no doubt about it. And it's better looking than most other non-Apple notebooks out there.
Cons: I have found that after just about half and hour of use it begins to overheat and you can feel the heat through to the keypad and my left palm can feel it as i type which is quite disconcerting. Sony singapore said they played a dvd and found the heating
