Pros: This computer has been running smoothly from the start.. It's only been a week but absolutely no problems yet. The battery lasts well over two hours.

Cons: It doesn't get too hot but it's almost always warm--warmer than others I've used (even my alienware that began overheating: it runs cool and then overheats--that's why I got this vaio)

Overall Review: Careful.. the mouse touchpad doesn't turn off :P I definitely recommend this computer to any college student/light gamer.

Pros: Huge space, low price.

Cons: Slow. Unusable. I bought a 2tb HD because I need the space and I need to transfer files to it frequently. It would take more than 1 week of constant transferring to move 500gb. My average speed is below 3MB/s but it gets progressively slower until its almost frozen (ie 10ish kb/s). My WD 500g HD that is 4 years old is more than 10x faster. Very disappointing. Not sure what to do about this.

Pros: Comfortable, several preset options

Cons: Right click stuck down/broken after 1year of light gaming. Frequently jumps around the screen (my other mice do not do this with my mouse pad). Hits invisible walls regularly (i.e. the mouse will not move past a certain point on the screen or it is unable to move in a particular direction for a few seconds).

Overall Review: Not worth the money....I upgraded to a more reliable Logitech mouse hoping that I won't need to buy a gaming mouse every year...
