Great screen, keyboard is really nice. Doesn’t run extremely hot. I recommend it to anyone.

Negative:
-the light on the screen is ‘bleeding’ through on the bottom. The colors are then lighter towards the bottom then on the top.
- the sound is awful. That cheap laptop I had before had loudspeakers on the top of the lid and then on the bottom part too. The Sony just has those awful sounding (first I thought I have to remove a cover somewhere for better quality but no, that’s it). The laptop is more one for work or office use (exactly what i use it for) and less for multimedia. Doesnt sony call the laptop a business solution?
- the power adopter was defective when i got it. I dont understand that, dont they test at all at Sony? How can they deliver a defective power adopter? Sony send me a new adopter in just two days. Maybe they only test every other unit?
- The software CD or DVD is missing. Well, i formatted and installed my own stuff anyway so it doesnt bother me much.
- The connector on the laptop where the power supply goes really sucks. Why dont they have that magnet solution like those from Apple? (or something similar?) I bet that this will be the first to break for me.
- the webcam is not that great. The picture quality is so blurred, the colors are to colorful and just not good.
overall, i wish they would have spend a little more money on the camera, the sound and the power connector to the laptop. That would have been like another 30$ and would result in something really great.
Postive
- it really is a master piece. So beautiful (after removing all those stickers). The product is high quality.
- Sony is very responsive. They even wanted to pick up the laptop for repair but i found out already that the power adopter that came with laptop was defective.
- the screen is just great!!! very bright, nice colors and big too. I wish there would be even one thats bigger.
- I like the keyboard. I think there will be not much stuff falling into the cracks.
- I like the mechanism of how the laptop closes. I hope the plastic will not crack and break all over like all the other laptops always do.
The laptop is heavy. But what would you expect? It is a big laptop and you will trade off size and power for weight. There are no miracles like that.

I love this laptop! It is great for watching movies as well as all the other stuff I do. I am selling all my other pcs, this one will do all I need.

its the perfect machine, other than the 1 hour battery life, and its weight. this could be the best laptop ever.
perfect screen, perfect keyboard. and the vaio support is just unbelievable. good for watching movies, games, and pics.
if i needed to buy a laptop, i would go for this one again and again.
