Sony Vaio VGN-FW48E

 

The screen is clear

Battery life is diabolically short (drains overnight): sound is poor: slower than my previous 3 years old laptop when opening applications: I'm sick of being asked to register it, despite having done so on the day I bought it: intrusive google software...
