AllQ:
I've been reading several reviews regaring problems with wifi. Is this truly a problem with the computer itself? Or could this be a problem with the users home/office/other internet connection? If it is a problem with the computer itself, has the issue been resolved? Or is Sony planning to resolve the issue? This is the main reason I have yet to go to the store and buy it.by

A:
VAIO updates is a pre-installed program that works really well to install all updates by VAIO that fix many of the issues that the reviews are talking about.If you install all of the updates through there first, then install Windows 8.1, and then install the new updates that will pop up in VAIO update, you will not have a problem at all with the touch-screen, BIOS running too high, etc.
As far as the wireless goes, I did actually have to go to the Sony Vaio support website for the PC and download it manually because it did not come in with VAIO updates automatically, but it solved all WiFi issues that I had.

I've been 2 hours on the phone with Sony about the Wi-Fi. (Otherwise, I do love this laptop.) They said it was a known issue, but not a recall issue. They sent me a Belkin N300 USB wireless network adapter to help me get by until a new driver is released. The Belkin's performance has also been pretty hit and miss lately. I spent a 3rd hour on the phone with them just today, updating the built in driver and the Belkin's driver. Still having trouble with the built in... Belkin is working again (for now?). I'm sure they will get the issue sorted, or at least they do seem to be making an effort to make it right with the free Belkin.by

Hey Jon,It's the laptop itself. Not the internet connection. The best way to know is having your old laptop next to it working perfectly.
I don't know if sony is planning on fixing. I was going to try with someone in chat and see if they can do anything. If they can, I'll come back here and let you know.
So far, I'm assuming they won't :-(
Don't go buy it yet. Do more research (I'm on my second one, thinking about returning it)

This is nice but no dvd drive though and do test its touch screen and do not hesitate to open the box in front of them when u buy it. There is a 50% chance that you'll get a defective touch screen, i've faced it and had to go back and get it exchanged. Otherwise it is a powerful windows 8 laptop.by

No, it did not come with a digitizer stylus pen, but the laptop itself is a great PC for the price if you follow the instructions on my upcoming review on how to set it up properly.The pen is well worth the extra 39.99 to spend, if you plan on using the item in tablet mode.

Q:
Have a problem that when I bought my Sony Flip 14A that it had a compatibile WiDI adapter. The follow can be found on the mail page of the laptop on bestbuy.com:Stream entertainment from your laptop to your TV
Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi) wirelessly transmits content to your HDTV* — photos, music, Web videos, Internet TV — whether on the hard drive or online.
I bought this laptop with the thinking that I would be able to use WiDi on my HDTV. I bought the Netgear Push2TV adapter. After having problems setting it up, I did a little more research into why it is not working. After looking farther into the specs of the laptop I find this:
Wireless Display No
Why would one page say something that contradicts what the other page says. There is no way to add WiDi since it has a Broadcom Wireless adapter.
Really thinking about returning this laptop since I have still in the holiday return time. I like the laptop, but am really upset that the advertisement states two different things. Just may have to give the Yoga2 a try.

A:
WiDi is not a feature that can be added in by the manufacturer. It is built into the 3rd and 4th gen Intel I5 and I7 processors. The I5-4200U does have wireless display capabilities. You may need to get the additional software from the Intel site along with the instructions on how to set it up.by

A lot of the newer laptops do not have the cd drive due to the slenderness of the build. You can purchase a separate cd drive that attaches through a port for around $40.by
