Average Rating: 
Rating: - disappointment
positives:
- incredible screen
negatives:
- horrible battery life (due to incredible screen)
- often not compatible with iTunes (call SONY if you don't believe me). When i installed it, shut down would lag for more than ten minutes. SONY explained it as common problem among users due to software incompatibility and recommended that I not install iTunes. you have no idea what it's like to have a near $3,000 computer that doesn't work with my iPOD.

Rating: - VAIO's are garbage, be prepared to spend money on repairs
This is the worst computer i have ever owned. After a week of use the HD crashed on me, and i constantly get memory dump blue screen of death errors. Upon reboot i receive OS cannot be found. Save your money and the hassle, dont buy a sony! I dont know why i gave up my Thinkpad for this piece of garbage!
