Excellent Sony Laptop. Bit expensive but well worth it
For me there is no bad points its an excellent alround pc just what you would expect from sony.

This is a beatiful looking laptop, with loads of good features including the fingerprint recognitiion, and the touch keys above the keyboard, these operate your music player. Large screen and nice keyboard.

A little heavy, but if you want this size of screen thats to be expected

So far so good...
So far this laptop is as good as one could reasonably expect of an up-market Sony product. I'm still appraising it but I can say that the Blu-Ray recorder works a treat and the visual presentation is quite stunning. I'm used to a desktop and in fact bought this machine as a desktop replacement. It's a bit heavy but it's unlikely that I would ever use it as a portable - I have another, smaller laptop for that purpose. It's doing a grand job so far.
