Sony VAIO S Series 13.3-Inch LED backlit-8GB RAM-750+4GB Hybrid HHD (7200rpm) DDR3-2nd GEN i5-2450M

Could not find user or technical reviews on this model, so took a chance. Glad I did.

PROS:

Fast Multitasking with several applications is no problem (8 gig RAM must help); Beautiful low-glare screen with good viewing angles; Good (not great) 5-hour battery; Quick startup; LOVE the keyboard; 3 USBs with one always powered; R/W Blu-ray drive; Nice looking brushed silver case that doesn't show fingerprints; 3.5 pounds very acceptable given optical drive included; 2-year support from Sony.

Con:

Sound disappointing.
