"Does what it says on the box"
What I like:
Nice size screen, good graphics, like the built in cam. Sony very helpful if you need to know something.
What I don't like:
Its heavy. I've had mine for six months had to send it back for repair twice for the same thing with in seven weeks of first repair, the black coating keeps on peeling off where the wi-fi and bluetooth lights are, im not very happy at the moment as this computer is not at all cheap, im in the process of trying to get my money back or an exchange, has any one else got this comp and has had the same trouble if so would you please let me know so i can take this further with sony many thanks Bob, my contact is robert.chipchase*at*sky.com, cheers
Review:
I do like the computer, only for as i mentioned the coating coming off from front,it seems to be a really bad design fault, that i am taken up at the moment with Sony.
