Best Buy Black Friday: Sony VAIO VGN NR110 for $399
Best Buy will sell the Sony VAIO VGN NR110 E/S notebook for $399 on Black Friday. You’ll have to get in early if you want the $350 discount since there will be as few as 15 VAIO NR110 notebooks at each Best Buy store.
The VAIO NR110 is the cheapest laptop that Sony’s ever manufactured, but it’s specs are still impressive for $399. It comes with an Intel Core Duo processor, 1GB of memory, 120GB hard drive and DVD/CD burner. It has 802.11n wireless, which is much faster than the 802.11g found on most other Black Friday laptops Update: This version of the VGN NR110 has 802.11b/g WiFi.
The VAIO NR110 comes with an Express Card slot and two USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. It is bundled with software to watch content from a Sony Location Free TV base station.

when is black friday
Michael- Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving. For 2007 Black Friday for 2007 is November 23.
I don’t think the black friday version has 802.11n
plus, it has four usb2.0 ports and a firewire (i-Link).
best buy black friday is a joke ,people instead of camping out 24hrs in advance just need to boycott this bait and switch gimmick
what is version 802.11n? if it does not have it is it upgradeable. and what would be the version from bby?
Will BEST BUY be handing out tickets for the SONY VIAO?
version 802.11n is the latest and fastest WiFi standard for connecting to the Internet wirelessly. It’s usually in higher-end notebooks or available as an add-on for some mainstream consumer notebooks.
It’s not user-upgradeable. I wouldn’t worry about it, or expect it from a $399 nootebook.
Guys, do you know, if this model can be upgraded to 2GB of memory?
it can be upgraded to 2GB, and they ARE handing out tickets.
which one should i go with I’m a college student the $229 toshiba or the $399 sony which is a better choice??
Frank- If you can get the Sony VAIO VGN-NR110 go for it. The Toshiba has a slow processor, only 512MB of RAM and Vista Home Basic.
The VAIO VGN-NR110 has a MUCH faster dual core processor, 1GB of RAM and Vista Home Premium.
Hey Mates,
From where can I buy this laptop?
Jatz, the VGN-NR110 will be available at Best Buy this Friday for $399. It is widely available at other retailers and on Sony’s web site for about $650 to $700.
God damn. What a stupid thing. For 200 bucks of discount people freeze their asses out and fight to each other just to get this stupid deal. This America. People make enough here or can make enough. This is not Africa where 200 bucks is a yearly income. God damn, what a shame to look at all this s…
Good luck anyway..
How early would i have to be at Best Buy to receive a ticket?
Do like i did last year. look for a hot sweetie there then dine her out for dinner and then pop the can i get a ticket question.
guys how early do i have to go since there is only 15 tickets? How early like 5 am?
They open at 5am…they might pass our at about 3am…my advice…skip Thanks Giving dinner and get there late Wednesday night
Which is better, the Sony VAIO VGN NR110 or Compaq Preario C712US?
So which PC is best…the toshiba, the compaq from circuit city for 299 or the vaio?
reports of 802.11n are false comes with b/g, i have a machine very simular to this but w/ better specs. it is a great buy @ 399
also to clarify its a PENTIUM duo not a core 2 duo..there is a big difference!
sony is by far the best out of the 3!
I have a beter idea. Instead of sitting in front of Best Buy for 30 hours for an item, try GETTING A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who doesnt like sitting in front of best buy?it is so much fun to tell u all…and u lazy bums!!u get a life ,coz u r gonna be the ones sleeping in the bed ,snoring all night long.Money doesnt come easy,but sleep does.so Stop criticising others!!!!!!get off your a** and save sme money!
you 2 are hilarious… and you are both right. i just bribed my daughter and her friend to get in line for me. i would have ended up giving her money for no good reason (as we moms do) and at least this way… she has earned it. still not sure which laptop to get though.
i waited in line for 10 hours and i finally got the sony!
I waited in line for 11 hours and I didn’t get shit! I’m Pissed!!!!!!!!!
just got it..its nice but you have to upgarde the memory to 2gb the Sony Control center is eating up the RAM…
Plus pick the black its nicer..I got the silver and it looks like its goin to chip off someday..
cons:
Touchpad can not comply immediately when running simultaneous programs (jre update,win update,norton update, windvd) this can be solved by adding 1GB more of RAM
-VAIO control center I dunno how to remove these its eating up so much RAM
My friend bought the HP-AMD64×2 that you can also buy from bestbuy, we compared everything the AMD won the game..perhaps AMD got it right now..but there’s also rumors that AMD boards collapse
Who’s interested in writing a review for this notebook? Email me at info@notebooks.com and we’ll pay you cash or give you a gift certificate to Best Buy.
Still need that review?
Taylor, yup you’re the first to respond. You can review it if you’d like. I’ll email you.
Can anyone tell me how and where to get extra memory for my Sony VAIO VGN NR110. Also wht type RAM and what is the maximum i can install. Thanx.
I waited for 11 hours - camped with university pals and got one. For 400 bucks getting a Vaio is neat ! Vista is hogging 700 MB of the 1 gig - which may be problematic for heavy users. The laptop is perfect for my parents who can use thisto brows, chat, voice chat and use the media players !
I JUST GOT ONE FOR 600
I am interested on writing a review..
Henry- Taylor was first to respond, but if he doesn’t email me by tomorrow night I’ll let you know.
I’m interested in writing a review as well.
I “staked out” Best Buy and got the laptop. I’ll say that this is way more computer for the money than I was expecting, and hey, you guys that got it should have gotten the 2MB upgrade for $54!
I leisurely got up friday morning at 8:00am, drove to best buy around 9:30 or so. shopped around for about an hour, asked if they had one, and haha i am typing on it right now. $399 is awesome and to get it without wasting sleep or freezing to death was even better.
I too got one from Best Buy.. sad i cannot load win XP on this :-(. Guys if there is any way, i can load Windows XP on this make please do let me know.
I too got to Best Buy at 7:45, long after all 15 tix were given for the Vaio–but they had 30 of them, and I walked up to customer service, pointed to one with no ticket number pasted on it, and bought it and the $54 1 gig memory upgrade..Outside staff had made the line-ticket phenomenon appear to be important and completed. Inside the store, they had lots of product to sell. Only thing they ran out of was the 160 gig HD version bundle with printer for $499-of which BB had only 3 as per their ad. The $399 + $54 is a better config, I believe–except now the 802.11 is behaving badly and cuts off during boot when the gadgets load. Any suggestions ?
It is a nice laptop, but it does need a little bit more ram. It has a max of 2 Gigs and DDR2 PC-5300 ram!!! BestBuy and Sony’s websites say to use PC-4200 but when I opened it up it had 2×512MB sticks in it. I recommend you put in the maximum amount of 2 GB of ram. Preferrebly a good company like corsair or kingston. I picked up to 2×1GB sticks of Kingston from Newegg.com for $40 It makes startup a whole lot quicker and helps with he touchpads responsiveness. I also recommend that you delete alot of the preloaded software that comeswith you computer that you are notgoing to use. This configuration hould work like a charm. Just remember not to delete anything that could possibly be important. If you did go to system retore and undo everything that you did.
Your work is marvelous!!l
