I upgraded to this computer from a Dell. I absolutely LOVE this thing!!! The screen width is amazing and it's so clear and crisp. The size of the keyboard and the amount of space between the keys makes typing a breeze, and I absolutely love the number pad. The mouse pad itself isn't as sensitive as I'm used to but the texture is really nice, it's going to take a lil getting used to on my part.
The set up was extremely easy just a few "next" buttons and it was done, my husband could have done it which is saying something lol.
The different things you can do with personalization is fantastic! I love being able to personalize anything I have and this computer just has so many options including pre installed themes that you can edit or make your own.
The speed is unbelievable, it's just been smooth sailing ever since I turned it on.
The shipping was extremly fast, as always.
Maybe I love it so much because it's such a nice extreme upgrade from my Dell, either way I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price I paid. I know some other customers were able to get it even cheaper then I did, I would consider that an absolute steal!
All in all, if you want a nice sleek looking laptop thats easy to use and fast, this is it!

Great Value for the Money

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is my second Sony Vaio laptop. I also have a Sony Vaio All-in-one desktop. They are both solid computers for what I mainly use them for, internet and occasional document creation. The older laptop had poor speaker volume and about two years into usage, the keyboard started malfunctioning. As with most laptops, the battery died about 1.5 years into usage. Purchased a non-Sony battery on-line to save money. That one died in about 4 months and I could only used the laptop when plugged-in. This new laptop is only one month old and functions well. The speaker volume issue seems to have been corrected. Only time will tell about the keyboard and battery life. Would've given this laptop 5 stars if it were not for the over-use of plastic. Everything is made of a cheap plastic to save money and it gives the laptop a flimsy feel compared to other laptops I've used.

Overpriced. Like everything with a SONY logo on it.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2012

I was very excited. So much I paid to have it prime shipped to me overnight. I did quite a bit of research on it. If you visit Newegg.com this laptop has a very bad rating. 1 star out of 5. I could not believe it. Then I visited the official Sony site and Amazon and the reviews were very good. What ultimately led me to buy this laptop was the cosmetic design but this laptop is not worth $400 or more. This laptop is slower than my old HP laptop which only has 80GB of memory and runs 2gb RAM. You can fix it by buying an 8GB DDR3 Kit from Crucial for about $65.00 for the best pair. The software is good as expected, you get a lot of Sony branded apps to use. The screen is bright but I've owned Acer laptops with even brighter screens. If you're looking for a notebook or netbook I suggest you look at some of Acer's "Super Netbooks". The 2012 models have dual-cores, LED displays, 4GB of RAM, Windows Home Premium, 7hrs of battery and retail for $379.99-$399.99. They don't have DVD drives but they make an awesome portable pc. This Sony laptop is neither a netbook or notebook. It is big, bulky and does not run the way a 15.6 inch laptop should.

Sony support is epic fail

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2012

I bought my daughter a Sony Vaio (not this exact model) and it got so hot that it melted her school id and gave her a minor burn on her leg. Before calling support, I googled it and found out it had been recalled for this very reason. I was on the phone for 50 minutes with a gentleman that would ask me my name, then say "hold on" and go away for 10 minutes, come back and say, sorry, I was entering the data. After 50 minutes, I had given him nothing but my name and address, and never did he mention that the product had been recalled. Now he wanted a credit card number. After some screaming (and perhaps cursing), he agreed to send out a box to send the laptop in for repair. A month later I called back, they had me in the system, but it was put in incorrectly, so they now asked me for a credit card again (which again I did not provide) and in fact did send out the box. As soon as they got it, they called to say they were fixing the problem, but there were other (phantom) problems that would cost $400 to repair and I would need to provide a credit card. I told them just to fix the original problem. They were pushed in jacks (that weren't in that condition when I put it in the special shipping box), the jacks still worked when we got it back, they'd just curiously been pushed in. I found it interesting that while trying to get a recalled product fixed, three times they tried to get me to provide a credit card number...talk about trying to make lemonade out of lemons. And low and behold, the laptop still had the overheating problem. Unfortunately I have neither the time or energy to fight a giant company that is intent on screwing their customers, so I bought her a new one of a different brand.

Great laptop

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2012

So this is a great laptop because:
1.It has a really really cool design and textured cover and touchpad,and this is very confortable.But if u buy this laptop don't forget that you'll get something really big,because it really is.I was expecting at something smaller,but is perfect
2.It has a great price.In my country,I have seen this laptop and it was about 1000$,so if you are from another country,buy this.And thrust me,even if you have to pay the shipping,it's a better deal than if u buy it from another country.
3.The camera has some fun apps.
4.It comes with 30 free days of Norton Antivirus Security
5.If you don't have a tv in ur room,you can connect to a wireless and watch some good movies or even online tv

SO BUY THIS ONE,BECAUSE IS ALMOST PERFECT!!!
