Pros: I have had this laptop for around a month and a half, and I love it! Full HD Screen is amazing! It makes most other laptop screens look aweful. It is so bright, that when in a dark room it almost hurts your eyes! I didn't know if I would like the keyboard, but it is great! The screen size and overall size of the pc is perfect for me. It is very thin and fairly light for the size. The hard drive is very quiet! The speed of the computer is phenomenal. My other computer is around 10 years old, and it was getting so slow that it would tick me off just getting on the internet. Now I can actually use the power of our cable modem to load the web pages almost instantly. I did download the demo version of COD 4 to see what it looked like. It looked great, but there were times when play would get hitchy. I had everything on automatic, so I probably need to take a couple of the settings down. The finish of the computer is great! It doesn't show fingerprints that bad.

Cons: The battery is a little loose. The battery only seems to last for 2-3 hours. It does seem to run a little hot, but not extremely hot. A couple of the keys were squeaking for a week or so, but they don't anymore. The scrolling feature on the touchpad doesn't always seem to work the way I want it to. It seems like the pc takes FOREVER to start up. The screen size is great, but it really takes away from the battery life. The laptop would really benefit from a built in subwoofer like the 18'' Sony has. The speakers just aren't enough to make it sound good. There is a lot of pre-installed software, but most of it is useful. It just seems like some programs are just copies of windows programs that are already on the laptop.

Overall Review: I had a problem with the laptop at startup after a week of having the laptop. A window would pop up saying that a program had to shut down. I called Sony and the tech was VERY helpful. I gave him access to my computer and he found that somehow malware was on my computer. He got rid of it and talked me through everything he tried/did. It gave me a better idea of how Vista worked since I was new to it, and he showed me a couple tricks to help it start faster.
