Sony Vaio VPC-EC1S1E/BJ

It has the right looks for me, good size and weight, great 17:3 inch screen size being full HD 1080 (1920x1080) and ALL of my modern gadgets software will work now and it has a nice kinda shiny look. Thankfully none of my modern PC games like Resident...

Not a verry long battery life.

Size of screen. HDD capacity

Vaio Care stopped working after an update, never worked since. Some key depressions cause cursor to jump backwards eg. c, b, v followed by some vowels cause this. Very irritating to find text - if you can find it - part word, line or paragraph above...

Screen quality is very good. The processor and graphics have been able to cope with everything I have thrown at it so far.

The location of the USB ports are too near the front. After just over one year the USB/headphone socket stopped working and I have had to replace the board. Adding a second drive after purchase it proving to be very difficult as the connector is not...

Great Design and usability. Any laptop with the Numeric Pad on its keyboard layout is always a plus in my book as it grants better userability as it feels just like a normal PC keyboard. You dont have much downtime when waiting for something to load,...

The i5 processor can somtimes hang and not load some (not many) program as quickly as I would expect an i5 to take, if this happens, dont keep trying to open the same program over and over, as this WILL cause the system to slow as you will be...

Fast, great for watching blurays in the bath.

Textured mousepad doesn't suit me. 'Bouncing bar' was annoying before I worked out how to turn it off.

Beautiful screen, keyboard is like a dream, very powerful (not one hang since i bought it), beautifully made.

the usb sockets are all on the right hand side, very close to the user which can make it quite hard to use a mouse instead of the touchpad. The blu-ray playing feature of the laptop is a bit lacklustre, as although it will play them without trouble,...

Has a quality look and feel. Works fast. Good solid keyboard.

The free McAfee trial didn't work. A bit too much pre-installed software that I'm unlikely to use, some of which I have uninstalled.

The cheapest laptop I could find anywhere with what I needed - high screen resolution, big screen, fast chip and gaming graphics. I was worried that the graphics card wouldn't be adequate for shifting all those pixels around, but it's certainly doing...

Set aside an hour or maybe two to uninstall all the junk that Sony preinstall. It'll be less time if you just uninstall everything, but I searched around to find what was necessary to keep.

Fully loaded laptop with 1920 x 1080 screen, Blu Ray player, HD 5650 ATI card. Plays all the latest games, most at max settings. Easy to work with and fairly light too. Smart looking with an easy design!

Chucks out heat from side vent like no ones busniness! (too hot for laps when gaiming!) and battery don't last long at all.
