"Great machine. Best of 12 machines I have owned." on by MikonCons
Pros: FAR less costly than a Mac. Very fast with the i7 Intel quad processor when running multiple real-time streaming data programs.
Outstanding self-maintenance
High quality of customer service
Great display
HDMI and double monitor features a plus.Cons: After one month of use, I had an intermittent touchpad problem. Sony support went through troubleshooting with me in real time on the phone. Ultimately replaced the touchpad AND the motherboard... it was an interface chip problem to the touchpad.
Summary: Great machine for fast and trouble-free multitasking.
Well built machine, good for traveling.
Cost approximately HALF of an equivalent Mac performance.
Had since March 2011... still running strong.
Will definitely buy Sony again. -

"Great at home... Good on the road" on by sheriff8287
Pros: Solid built,good display,great keyboard,bright back lighting, wifi & 4G connect,USB 2.0,3.0 & HDMI Fan is very quiet. Pad is sensitive but I use a bluetooth mouse. Sound is good for day to day. for movies or music I use cyber accoustic 3 at home.
Cons: This power house sucks the battery dry fast. 4G connect is rendered usless by a lack of coverage(Best Buy Connect/Clear) If they doubble the network coverage it would go from very bad to poor. It is a little heavy to carry around all day.
Summary: This my first laptop and it has better performance then my 4yr old HP media center did when it was new and working. Stream movies in HD,play Blu ray disc,edit photos and movies or game play at home and on the road with this great performing laptop. Good wifi connecting and 4G connect works well if you can find a coverage area... GOOD LUCK! I love being able to take a great PC with me when out of town shooting photos. Love the screen size and 1080p for editing or showing of my photos and no need for external drive with 750GB hard drive.
