Bought this summer of 2010 and have overall been very happy with the computer.I use this computer mostly for internet browsing and watching Netflix/Hulu. I cut the cable cord and use this and my Xbox for my TV watching, so the HDMI out is great for hooking up to the TV for Hulu. I don't do much gaming, but this does fine for the basic games that I play.
The only problems I have had with the computer have been:
1.Getting used to the offset keyboard. It is great having a number pad, but that comes at the price of getting used to the keyboard not being in the center of the computer.
2.When I first got the laptop, the wireless would constantly drop - which is REALLY annoying. That went on for a couple of weeks, but an update from Sony took care of that.
3.The speakers are no good. I love watching Cnet podcasts and videos. The volume to begin with is kind of low, so I have to turn the speakers up all the way, and if there is any other noise in the room, I can't hear the show. I had to purchase a small set of speakers to remedy this problem.
Overall this is a great laptop that has (almost) all the things I need!
