N/A 11/21/2008 10:36:08 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Its ok Pros: Small, great screen, decent battery life, fairly quick. Cons: I am comparing this laptop with my old Sony (TX series). The battery life is shorter (I would guess by ~ 20% - 30%). I was surprised that the RAID 0 SSD didn't really add a measurable performance boost. Video is supper choppy, much worse than on my old Sony. I have had various problems with it from day 1, the touchpad doesn't work after it wakes up from hibernation. It also freezes up ever 2-3 days. Sometimes, I close the lid and it stays on instead of going to sleep. Sony support was worthless, their answer was to use system restore. Of course.... Other Thoughts: Overall, I had high hopes and I am somewhat disappointed. My old Sony allowed me ~ 11 hours on the extended battery working in office, this one max. of 8 hours or so. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
