Good: Big screen-should be for £900+ Graphics are OK!
Bad: crashes if you play to hard on it- not good for gaming- small processor etc
Comment: it really depends what you and your computer get up to in a day. If you travel a lot this is not the computer for you, try something a lot smaller and lighter. Its good at sitting on a desk, (a big one at that!!) being used for long periods of time-but not overused, by that I mean don't play computer games on it for long periods of time otherwise it will crash mine does (did, as I got rid of it!) and you can loose all your data when the HDD fails-mine did that 3 times in 2 and a half years even with anti virus, PC doctor and the rest!! I have to say its great for watching your blue ray DVD's on. The 16.4 inch screen really comes into play!- one point to mention is that you MUST be near a power supply as watching films and other high screen activity programs really does drain the power in less than 2 hours even in power save mode. Watch out for the 10% warning flasher thing on the right, maybe if they made it stop flashing you could watch a further 10 minuets of your film! I am sure Sony are working on that! I conclude that this is not the computer for the traveling person or someone with a small desk! but for one who likes movies and is always near power! In my opinion you may as well just get a computer with a tower and screen + put 400 quid back into your pocket!! Hope I haven't wasted 8 minuets of your life!! Ed
