Sony Vaio VPC-F12S1E

Solid build, nice screen. Stops paper blowing away in a stiff breeze.

I've found the performance to be abysmal, even after a factory restore. Must be a lemon, but there's nothing I can do about it. Too much software loaded that's useless with no way to easily remove it. Fan very hot and loud - wouldn't mind if there was...

Great looking laptop and the screen clarity and size of screen is superb, love the matte finish. Motion eye camera is really good, sharp images. It is pretty fast carrying out most tasks although it is an i7. Nicely laid out and the build quality is...

Runs hot, fan is always running at variable speeds but this is an i7 quad core so i expect this. Battery life is dismal (again i am aware of the reason) and takes forever to charge. Heavy so is not a portable laptop in the slightest. Had it for 18...

JUST BATTERY

everything not bad :)

very good screen, power

2 usb ports only

Good, beefy machine with great performance, good screen and good build quality in general - it has a sturdy feel to it and despite having a plastic casing, it doesn't feel cheap. It's not quite a 17inch machine, making it a bit more portable. It's...

With ~2 hours, the battery life is not too great for the use of the go - but it's a bit too big for that anyway.
