I have recently purchased a Sony Multi Flip 15 and despite looking really good the WiFi connection quality is absolutely dismal.
I called Sony Customer Service (who are pretty rude) and they gave me a driver update, which didn't work, and now I have been sent a Belkin Dongle to help improve the connection. This seems to have worked so far, but can you imagine paying £2000 for a computer and having to have a dongle sticking out of the side of it?!
Unbelievable!
Sony say they are working on a solution, but do not have a time frame for fixing the problem.
I thought Sony had a great reputation as a leading technology company, yet can't build a machine that connects to the internet half as fast as my 5 year old HP.
Can you imagine Apple doing the same thing? Having a dongle hanging out of the side of your Mac because the WiFi doesn't work?? I don't think so.
I bought the computer because the flip function meets my work needs. But the product (and the 'product experience') has really been let down by such a ridiculous problem that Sony can't seem to get a handle on.
So I would suggest to anyone considering this product to really think about a different product, and probably a different brand. The thing that worries me is what else can go wrong a few months down the line if they can't get the basics right.
Very very poor.
