I don't know why the other 2 reviewers had problems, but this is the best touch screen laptop for the $$$ bar none. I rate it above my MacBook pro due to the superior ports and power and the high resolution touch screen. If you want a great deal on a powerful touchscreen laptop, get this one before someone at SONY or BB wakes up and raises the price!
The touch screen is nice, the battery is up to 4 hours actual time...overall is really nice laptopReally good laptop. My last laptop that I purchased was also a Sony Vaio. After about 4 years of service, it finally gave out on me. I bought this one this year, and I must say I love it. The programs that come with it are awesome. I love the touchscreen. Very intuitive. The processor doesn't skip a beat, and the graphics are handled very well. I haven't used it for much other than mundane internet practices yet, but playing movies looks great on it, and I love the connectivity to my Xbox with the smartglass app.I was really excited to buy this, but am so disappointed because the touchpad/mouse malfunctioned on me within 30 days of buying it. It started acting up a few days prior (the cursor would get stuck for a few seconds, then catch up with where I had wanted to move it). Then it got worse and worse. I tried turning off the touchpad function completely a few times, but the only thing that would cure it was to restart or shut down altogether. Then, the left-click function stopped working completely. No matter where I placed my finger, it would result in bringing up the menu when you right-click. I could not select, highlight, or click on anything without resorting to the touchscreen. It was very frustrating and although I could remedy the situation by just using a real mouse, I did not intend to spend over $1000 on a laptop that has parts breaking within 30 days of buying it. Who knows what else would break down in the future. Definitely returned this and would not recommend to anyone.Review: It works.
The touch screen works out of the box, xubuntu 13.4.
working :
touch screen
touch pad
bluetooth
wireless
kvm should work but I will report back.
Do you want me to post my install notes?
Note: I purchased this laptop at best buy. They helped me find the bios key for sony vaio SVE14A27CXH / sve14ae13l.
F2 not working. ( turn off. press the red assist key to boot)
Please note: I do not run windows and I did not make the recovery disk. The uefi bios is on the hard disk and should be saved. Make your recovery disks before you play.
