This is the BEST laptop that I have ever owned. Contrary to another review, mine has a QUIET FAN and RUNS perfectly beautifully everything Blu-ray, DVD, backlit keyboard, USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0 port AND A HIGH-QUALITY LED DISPLAY with WIDE VIEWING ANGLES instead of the CHEAP TN PANEL that CHANGES AND FADES when viewing from positions other than right straight in front of it I have never had a better laptop. The other reviewer just did not do the regular Sony UPDATES which includes addressing the fan noise issue. There are inevitably some issues when a new model is introduced. That's why Sony provides eSupport with regular updates. I have seen Sony updates up to 3 years after the model was introduced. Sony's eSupport is the best, and their laptops give you more for your money, including quality programs other laptops do away with, such as a quality DVD playing program (WinDVD), audio and video editing programs, and other multi-media software and utility programs omitted by other manufacturers. Sadly, Sony has discontinued this model and no longer makes them. I highly recommend Sony laptops you get MORE VALUE per dollar it is a dollar-wise investment. Buy one before they are all gone, esp. buy one that has been checked out to have no problem, and that includes a QUIET FAN!
is the noise levels, with a cyclical hum that should never be that loud when the laptop is completely idle. This has nothing to do with the power of the laptop, when it's in idle and well designed you hardly hear anything. This laptop is not that well designed which is what I expected at this price tag. Which is also evident in the countless hours it took me to fix a major glitch in the beginning.
the laptop shut down instantly at random times in the beginning. High data loss risk. Cause unknown. Replacing the graphics driver supplied by Sony with a newer nvidia driver eventually resolved the problem. With this driver you frequently lose the ability to change the display brightness however, which is fortunately regained by opening and closing the lid of the laptop or dis/enabling the gaphics card.
the webcam also stops working at some point and completely disappears from the task manager, only complete restart brings it back
