This sony vaio performs to expectations but has some flaws.
I owned this laptop for 8 months before I got a new one and it was good while it lasted. It had a snappy processor, good amount of ram, screen size was perfect for me, and a great resolution. But, the battery life was too short for my liking and I also had a problem with the battery connector and it would only charge at a specific angle, which was when I decided to upgrade to a new laptop because I did not want to hassle with repairs. Most of the time, sony's quality is higher than other brands, which is why they are sold at higher prices, but in this case, quality was an issue. I own two sony Vaios and this one does get a little warm. The bottom of my other Vaio is always cool and the fan is virtually silent. This thing's fan is too loud and it does not really help with the heating issue. I hear there is a BIOS updtae that fixes this issue but i dont think it has to do with the BIOS but the actual build itself.
