Laptop itself works great, however it was missing drivers and windows was not installed correctly. Tablet mode is convenient when using in my recliner but otherwise its a little big and clumsy to use for a tablet, but the touch responsive screen is as good as my galaxy s5. Key sensitivity is squishy, but yet very responsive. Display is amazingly clear in HD. Extremely fast in loading programs and managing data. Sound quality is very good, and very loud despite the speakers being hidden. Battery life is good 5-6 hours on power saver playing movies. Aluminum case is beautiful, but leaves terrible finger prints. Backlit keyboard is awesome I can write essays in a pitch black room. I am mainly disappointed in the geek squad certification. When I first got the computer the LAN card drivers were missing and what good is a computer that doesn't connect to the internet, as to how this passed geeksquad certification is beyond me, and their only solution was to return the product for a refund, so I fixed it myself.

Pros: lightweight, thin, touch screen, fast, converts to a tablet, audio volume, battery life
Possible cons: no optical drive, no number pad, availability, weaker wifi antennae
At the time I bought this, it was exactly what I was looking for. I bought the model refurbished, and while I was apprehensive it turned out to be a great choice. Couldn't beat what I was getting for the price. Windows 8.1 remains tricky, but operating system aside this performing a hundred times better than my previous laptop.

So far this is a beautiful machine! It is fast, compact (ish), has a beautiful screen and changes from laptop to tablet very easily. I didn't want a convertible that had a detachable keyboard, what would I do with it when I wasn't using it? I read and applied some common solutions so I wasn't surprised by the 'no mousepad response', 'length of time for updating' and Sony has a tutorial that helped me with navigation/gestures. No more problems noted. Love it!! Note, if you have a Google account, you can be set up and rocking along in a matter of minutes.

All in all I like this product. It is very convenient with the 2 in 1 flexibility. The display is great, keyboard is very comfortable. Also, the material is durable.
It just could have been so much better if it didn't produce fan noise from time to time even if I am just opening a few tabs. Another thing is it is kinda heavy for a 2in1 that doesn't have an optical drive.

I like the this computer and it's great for the value. Plenty of memory, touch screen is versatile and the screen flips over to use as a tablet. The battery life is also remarkable at 12 hours. The computer is great for business with 8 gig of ram but versatile enough for a student.

Cool Features, Slow Computer

This is one of the coolest laptops out there. Not only is it a laptop and a tablet, it is also a TV. Now nobody will probably use the TV feature, but it's cool to have. Performance is nothing special. It's actually rather slow. Looks amazing with the brushed steel and chrome letter look on the outside. The back lit keyboard is beautiful. The only downside is that you can't change the color of the back lighting. Overall it's a good laptop.

Pretty Good Attempt

Purchased primarily because of the flip factor but it is still too big to use regularly as a tablet. It is also slightly slow, especially for a unit with 8GB RAM. I am looking to install an SSD at some point in the not too distant future and see if that makes a difference. If I had to do it again would purchase an Ultrabook WITHOUT the Flip factor. But it is good to have the Flip option. Very nice screen.

Good value, nice computer and tablet in one. I bought 2 for my twin daughters to start college. They love the versatility of using as a laptop or a tablet. I bought the optional Sony stylus for it, it is great. Stylus is very responsive. Great for taking notes.
A:AnswerThe digitizer pen is not a supplied accessory it is sold separately. You may refer to the link below.

A:AnswerIf you run Vaio care it will pull all the updates for you. The only one you need to do manually is the screen calibration. I would do the updates in this order:
1. Run Vaio care update
2. Update Windows to 8.1
3. Run Vaio care update again
4. Run screen calibration update
A:AnswerYes and no. It. Does not come with those programs. But if you use Microsoft programs at work then ask your work it office if they have the "home computer" price package. You might get to install those programs for a good price. Otherwise you could use open office for FREE.
