Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The laptop arrived with a non-functioning keyboard. A new laptop was sent a few days later in replacement.
I did a lot of research into laptops: I read reviews in Consumers Reports, CNET, Amazon, PC Magazine, and PC World. Consumers Report rated this Sony highly, and PC Magazine gave it an "Editor's Choice" award.
From reading reviews on this and many other brands, it looks like about 10% of all laptops arrive with problems of one sort or another, regardless of brand. So I wasn't fazed when the first Sony didn't work. To keep costs down, it looks like the manufacturers basically throw them together and hope for the best. (This is a good reason to find some way to double the manufacturer's warranty to two years, which you can do with some credit cards.)PROS:
Good keyboard
Lots of USB ports
Has Intel Wireless Display built in, to view laptop contents on your TV (requires a wireless adapter for the TV). Haven't tried this.
VGA port to show screen on a larger monitor
Not loaded with "bloatware": just a starter version of Norton Security and MS Office.
Fairly light to carry around
Does not seem to get hot
Fan is very quiet; you can hardly hear it.CONS:
Pathetic speakers (but there is a port for headphones, or external speakers can be used)
