Low battery life; Sporadic exhaust fan under stress; Hardly any gaming performance; Low contrast; Glossy display; High-toned speakers

The same hardware with better battery life for 650 Euro: Acer Aspire 5741G-334G50Mn. More 3D-performance at the same price: Sony Vaio VPC-CW2S1E/L. Great battery life but with a CULV-CPU, weaker performance: Acer Aspire 4810T. Also very pretty but made...

Good quality display ; Generous resolution ; Very good keyboard

Limited touchpad ; Disappointing sound range ; Poor horizontal viewing angles

Also included is Sony's Quick Web Access instant-on browser. It takes the web browser element from DeviceVM's Slashtop operating system, serving it up in around 25 seconds upon pressing the WEB button above the keyboard. It's the kind of useful...

Looks good

Wont last. I bought one of these laptops - big mistake! They look good but after 15 days of use the screen started having problems. Sony said the screen is cracked and not covered by the warranty!! I have not done anything to it so no idea how it...

The laptop is a great combination of size and power. If you want a laptop that is reasonable small, but packed with great specs, then this one is for you. It is stylish, quite light, has a great screen, starts fast, is packed with extra Sony Software...

Battery life...... Mmmmm. Not so great. Work on around an hour and a half to 2 hours max. Ok for me as I am usually near a plug.

Lightweight considering the size of the laptop

Ridiculously reduced battery life-loses 80% charge with half-an-hour of WLAN internet browsing! The power button is easily pressed when holding the laptop so it switches off The plastic outercasing on the lid makes it look quite cheap

not at all satisfied with the cost and the product.

Good make, lovely looking, comfortable to use,

It seems very delicate so I don't think it will survive long with my children (fell on the floor few times)

The slick design is perfect, especially for me. I look into performance and standards but the look is just as important for me. Quick access to the internet using the "WEB" button is perfect when that is all I am in need of at times. Comes with blu-ray...

Battery life is not as good as I hoped it would be, of course the battery life varies on the usage but I am a little disappointed that it's not that good. The overall performance of the system is average to maybe a little above average, as loading time...

I like the design very much...its quite compatible as well. Good feature on touch pad, hope it will get more smooth by the time.

In-spite opting for engraving, I didn't got the engraved laptop with my name on it I got i5 but the processing speed is not up-to mark, it seems I'm using i3. Are you guys sure..you gave me the right product :O Performance was the only thing which I...
