I’m a professional photographer and I was looking for a laptop with a big good screen for photo & video retouching. I’ve read bad reviews but considered them inappropriate. I’ve left a comment there. It’s just been a bad copy which happens no doubt or might been a virus. This laptop is fast, has amazing full HD screen, a very good sound to watch movies (if you enable a Dolby function). Very comfortable. Internet button is awesome, opens your home page in a half second. Matte finish and anti blink screen are amazing. Overall it worth the money 100%. Would definitely recommend it for purchase.

One of the best laptops I`ve ever used

This laptop computer definitely worth its value. It has a super core i7 processor with 6 gigs (I myself am going to upgrade it to 8 gigs). The performance is just wonderful and vaio`s design and keyboard are exceptional.

I strongly recommend anyone to buy this laptop. It is just a dream.

Excellent

I could not be happier with my purchase of the Sony Vaio. I do have to say it is pretty big, but that is something I can live with when I am watching a Blu-ray and it is super crisp. It is a beast though when streaming videos and downloading multiple applications. Excellent computer!

Great Rig w/a Slight Reservation

I’ve had the Vaio for more than a month now, so the “Oh boy, a new computer!” thing has worn off and I know it’s strengths and weaknesses. It works fine. It’s excellent: fast, plenty of power for anything I want to run, and as many things as I want to run, even with Norton droning away in the background sucking up system resources. The keyboard layout is fine and the action is fast and light. If you’re a fast typist, you’ll like it.

The screen is the only problem I’ve had. It looks great on the windows-supplied images such as wallpapers. But when I watch some movies, stream TV programs or visit some websites, it looks like crap (blindingly bright, greenish tinge, blues and reds over-saturated). Then other movies, streamed content and web pages look wonderful. Like HD even when the content isn’t HD. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what’s going to look good and what isn’t. I finally gave up trying to calibrate the screen, restored it to the factory setting and got used to it. Now I hardly notice it.

It’s a physically heavy rig. I wouldn’t buy this thing to lug around unless you’ve got your own personal roadie. Think of this one as a desktop replacement, which is what I think Sony intended it to be

Note: if you’re having trouble with the cursor and the trackpad, adjust it. You can use it just like your smartphone, but I found the cursor got easily confused and moved unpredictably with all that on. So I shut off all the two-finger operations, in fact, I shut off everything that wasn’t strictly move and tap. I also adjusted the sensitivity so it doesn’t have such a hair-trigger. Now it works fine.

Overall, a great computer, once you get used to the screen thing.
