Had this laptop for a week, and I am extremely satisfied with it. The price, in my opinion is totally justified because this laptop truly is an exquisite piece of technology. It looks awesome and is a headturner. The high resolution screen is a pleasure to look at, the touchpad is different from most other laptops, in that the surface is rough, but I love it now. The speakers aren’t the best but I have a decent speaker system to plug it into anyways, but my absolute favourite thing about this laptop is the keyboard. It is probably one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used, it’s just like the Mac one that Apple nicked off Sony Vaio and it’s still probably the best keyboard. Also, unlike most other laptops of this size it possesses a number pad, a nice extra bonus! The instant web feature is also really useful. After a week and after adding 90 gigs of memory off my old desktop to it it’s still super fast and hasn’t slowed in the slightest but you might want to remove Vaio Gate because that is the one application that is really slow, otherwise everything is extremely fast! The HDMI is a nice addition and has been really useful. Looks great on the plasma! Oh, and Windows 7 works extremely well with the specs and operating system. Would definitely recommend, very happy with it, will update if anything goes seriously wrong with it in the future.
Pros:
-The screen is bright and colourful and very nice to look at
-instant web feature is very useful to get surfing in around 30 seconds
-best keyboard I’ve ever used + number pad
-looks absolutely fantastic!
-doesn’t burn your lap like a acer, and doesn’t really heat up at all except for slight above room temperature at the vent
-completely silent
Cons:
-Battery life isn’t the best, lasting about 3 hours tops
-speakers aren’t the best but probably a bit louder than a macbook
If you’re looking for a new laptop and £500 is your budget, I couldn’t recommend a better buy!

Very impressed with this Vaio. Normal Amazon fast delivery. Very quick to boot up and an instant on web browser that does not require the computer to boot up. No idea how they do that but it works well. Lovely keyboard, with a number pad – unusual in a laptop. Crystal clear screen. The only down side is the mostly usless software that Sony loads onto its machines. Highly recommended!

Got the laptop 2 days ago…To be honest I was expecting the laptop to be full white, but actually the lid is silver…Also I was expecting the laptop to be more slim…
I will explain the pros and cons, in my opinion.
Pros:
Sony brand
Core i3
Silent
Nice keeyboard
HDMI
Interesting touch pad
The lid with the logo
Good price
Cons:
The screen is not LED which is a major drawback in my opinion
The graphic card is quite low, the videos are not that great on the laptop
I was expecting the laptop to be a bit more slim
Battery life is not that great
Don’t be scared about the cons, I actually didn’t buy the laptop with the purpose of replacing my desktop…I bought it mainly for quick internet use, presentation, office use…so for that it’s really great machine, but if you want it as a desktop replacement maybe you can consider also some other options.
In terms of power, it quite ok, but as I already mentioned, the graphic card is not that great. The windows experience index score shows a base score of 4.0
I will still come back along the way with some extra details about the laptop but since I own it only for 2 days, these are the only things that I can highlight right now.

I have had this laptop for a couple of weeks now and have been very happy with it.
I think it looks absolutely fantastic and seems very very fast.
Windows 7 is definitely a great improvement on vista and I see the AC adaptors have changed to a smaller model.
The new straight to web feature is fantastic and saves so much time!
My only gripe is the mouse being on the left confuses me a little sometimes as does the keyboard!
A must buy!
