So, I bought this laptop two months ago. I ended up getting a pretty good deal on it (better than this specific item. On the whole, I am very satisfied with my purchase (aside from a few minor things: read further).Pros:
The processor is fast, the harddrive is big enough, and there is plenty of ram. And, Windows 7 is a nice upgrade from Vista. It stays cool in your lap, even with moderate to high use (although can heat up if you're using video and don't have a standalone graphics card, which I don't). The display is pretty, and the 14" is plenty for me to do most things. The laptop on the whole looks very nice (particularly the keyboard) and is very portable and pretty light.
Cons:
I spent the first day trying out the TONS of software that came preloaded onto the computer. By try out, I mean uninstall/disable.
Sony loaded up this computer w/ a lot of bloaty bloat software that really just didn't need to be there. I ended up just going through the msconfig services menu and disabling everything to do w/ Sony: mostly because some of them were just using up ~5% of my CPU for nothing (particularly the sony media center).
Secondly, the speakers aren't amazing. In fact, they're pretty disappointing. Definitely rock the headphones for this one, or external speakers.
Summary:
Good computer (i3 kills it), decent price, good performance besides the bloatware and speaker issues.
