Good: It Simply Does Everything You Want It To Do

Bad: Nothing, I Cant Think Of Anything

Comment: I love this laptop, its the best electrical gadget/computer I ever bought. As i said before it simply does everything you can think of and it also looks amazing. There are more expensive laptops availble, BUT this will do everything they do too.

Good: Like the screen and performance but that no good it its dead !

Bad: Unreliable ! andtakes 2 days to get back !

Comment: Its a large but powerful beats with a SUPERB screen, BUT - it went wrong 4 months into buying it, collection from France flawed, but got back finally but totally wiped back to original settings! As I was on dial-up this took ages with all the downloads to update, let alone install my added software. You say it has 2 hard drives - I decided to accept all the default locations, and everything was wiped by the repairer. Now 13 months on (typically out of guarantee) its stopped DEAD - wont power up and clicks and clunks inside. Draedful - and to imaging that they cant guarantee to keep the hard disk, so even if its an electrical fault, I loose again !

3 USB ports is too few. Only one at the back and 2 at the side. The 2 at the side are so close together that you cant get 2 USB drives in side by side.

Mike good - didnt (I was going to sat Dont !) use in built camera and TV connection - but useful ..

I have had Sony for 10 years now but this has put me off completely - think I will move to Apple !
