This is a great computer. I have had my sony vaio for almost three years and I have never had a problem with it. It still runs as well today as the day I bought it and I use it for work for about 7 hours a day. As long as proper upkeep is done regualarly you should have no problems at all with this computer. It is easy to use, easy to transport, and very sleep. I love the silver cover on mine. I love the widescreen and the vivacious colors that come across. It has great programs and the keyboard is so easy to use. I wish that it had a number pad as so many laptops do now as hopefully in the future...
