Sony VAIO VGN-SZ450N/C PC Notebook Review

I have been using my VAIO SZ for about 4 years now. I dont play games or do anything too intensive on the computer.  Photoshop is probably as hardcore as I get.  So I think my computer is not as abused as others out there.  So potential buyers, keep this in mind when I say that my VAIO SZ runs pretty smoothly and fast.  My friend has a similar one and she really dislikes it because it hangs all the time.  She was really disappointed because the laptop unit is so expensive! But then again, she drags her computer to class and plops it down every which way so that might be the reason why it hangs all the time.  Mine will hand if it gets knocked particularly hard, but since I dont really take it around it does not bother me at all. I think though that if my dad did not buy this for me, I would not have gone out to get it myself simply because it is too expensive if your just an email/google/cnn person like myself.
