Sony Vaio S Series SVS1511AGXB

Powerful, thin, and reasonably lightweight, the Sony Vaio S includes a quad-core CPU, a Blu-ray player, and a good package of preinstalled software.

This is still an expensive laptop that's caught in the middle, with other premium laptops outperforming it and less expensive ones catching up in terms of design. Also, the touch pad felt especially finicky.

The 15-inch Sony Vaio S does gaming, Blu-ray, and a lot more, all while keeping the design thin and light.

1. Design (Sleek design)

1. Mr.Dan Ackerman mentioned that this notebook is expensive

Asus, Toshiba, Samsung, Lenovo all have similar laptops w/ the same specs for maybe $100 cheaper, but this one is by far the lightest! I bought it cuz it's under 5 lbs. Thin and sleek, plus a lot of viewing screen when set to 1920 x 1080.

For a 3rd-gen i7, it feels a little slow, prob due to the bloatware. Other laptops have a GTX vid card as opposed to 640GT on the VAIO, but the GTX adds MUCH more weight. Only other things to note are the wobbly screen & finicky mouse pad.

1920x1080 Hi-Res IPS panel display

Very poor sound quality AND volume level
