"Light, fast, great screen and battery, bad speakers"
on by LuckyRyderPros I have had the prior Z also, which this thing blows away in most regards. Lighter, faster, longer battery life. Solid built and stable design.
Cons I have had some difficulty getting the blueray disk working properly, hangs when unplugged without going through the shutdown procedure. Speakers not really usable for Skype without additional hardware.
Summary The machine is an amazing piece of technology. Not having "real" speakers for skype is a significant drag and the blueray/external video card dock is a little clumsy. That said, the chip set is on fire, fast fast fast given the power profile. It sips. It handles process intensive rendering in real time pretty well.

"Poor Design and ALWAYS breaking, Warranty means NOTHING"
on by Jomile88Pros On paper looks like a decent (overpriced) computer (which is false)
Cons Always some design flaw leading to something breaking. Sony refuses to fix the problems and I spend 90% of the time on the phone arguing with customer service reps.
** Sony repair center is designed NOT to fix your computer and you will end up paying fSummary I have had nothing but problems with this computer. I thought it was just me but after looking through the forums this is just standard Sony. There are many documented problems with this unit including the screen, touchpad, and power connector. For the price you pay, one would expect a great computer but due to the poor design and TERRIBLE service center I will never buy again a Sony product.

"very good - better than something like a macbook pro."
on by ryallenPros Weight (2.57 lbs) beats every 13incher in existence, display does too (1920x1080), good battery, unbelievable if you get the sheet battery, keyboard is fantastic, more ports than other 13 inchers, and the media dock is very useful. ssd is great.
Cons expensive, but not for what youre getting, a little wide, sharp corners, but at least the whole thing isnt sharp like a macbook..., only one of the 2 usb ports is usb 3...
Summary If you choose a macbook pro or air over this, you just havent looked at the specs or seen one in real life. take it from someone who has one. it costs a lot, but thats how much it costs to have a 3+ GHZ quad core processor,1080p display, hdmi, vga, sd, usb 3, and ehternet ports in something that is thinner and lighter than the 13 inch macbook pro. its not overpriced - its just that nobody else tried making something this impressive before.

"Screen broke in 2 months"
on by Guppies1Pros Light weight
Cons Nothing but bad bad bad
Summary Screen broke in 2 months. Took 2 weeks to repair come back cover a lot of scratches. Wait for another 2 months now still no part to replace the cover. Send the same review to Sony.ca...lol
They don't even post my review on their site. I guess is a bad review that why. -
"After two failed repairs, returned it for a refund."
on by Flimzy3141Pros Fast, lightweight, high-resolution screen (1920x1080 on my model).
Cons Terrible technical support/customer service experience. Keyboard is poorly designed, and they were unable to resolve the problem after two attempts.
Touchpad has very poor Linux support.
