I have had this unit for 3 weeks now and find myself liking it more everytime I use it. Very versatile and loaded with some very nice features for the price. The display is exceptional for a notebook, no need to hook it up to my 19" Viewsonic. I was a bit worried about not having any backup/restore disks but was pleasantly surprised to find that it will make you a set if you want, on either a cd or dvd.
The only drawback is the battery life. About 1 hour is all I have been able to squeak out. But considering that I bought it for a desktop replacement, I can live with having it plugged in.
Overall, I would recommend this notebook to anyone looking for a desktop replacement in notebook form.

It does everything I needed and more. Precessor works extremely well while multi tasking (split screen DVD while browsing the web...etc) Its a bit heavy, but for large screen multimedia purposes, whose counting the ounces. Its the best laptop I've ever used. I give it a 5 star

I am happy with the performance of this notebook, but i had 2 drawbacks. one, the battery life sucks, i just recently purchased a new notebook for mobility and made this vaio a desktop basically. and two, it is bulky. i purchased it online b/c the features where appealing but when i received it was a lot bigger then i expect it. but aside from that, a very good notebook, just not mobile.

Overall, a solid mid-level notebook capable of performing a wide variety of functions and multi-media applications. Unfortunately, the down side is a pretty big one: battery life is pretty pathetic. Don't count on more than 45 to 50 minutes playing a dvd on a fully charged battery. I've also had a few intermittent problems getting it to recognize photos stored on my Sony memory sticks, which is kind of ironic considering it's Sony's own proprietary memory storage medium.

its a good lap top and i m trying to get it this month,,,but in circuit cicty its cheeper,,,,,

Overall nice machine. I get about 2.5-3 full hours battery life, even while watching a DVD. Didn't come with any disks, so make sure you make your own when you first buy. Expensive batteries and AC power supplies.. few accessories. But the sceen/display is amazing! Well built, full of built-in features, and a pleasure to use. Again, the display is truely unsurpassed.

Could be better, but not at this price.

Never trust Sony laptops, you lose functionality if you ever make the mistake of upgrading and the laptop is pretty much useless.
