Sony - VAIO Laptop / Intel® Core™ i5 Processor / 13.1" Display / 4GB Memory / 128GB Solid State Drive - Black

I purchased this coputer in August '10. The hard drive crashed in late November. I phoned Sony, was on hold for 18 minutes. The technician tried to walk me through a fix, which failed. He promised an on-site tech would contact me within 48 hours. After a week, the Sony on-line website did not have my Event number, so I waited on hold for another 25 minutes. I was told by the service person that they did not have the replacement hard drive, they did not know when it would be available, and if I wanted an update, I could call in again. My experience with the Sony service program was disappointing, considering that I paid more for this product than a Mac. The notebooks are manufactured locally, and I still was routed overseas for my service calls. I rely on my computer for my business, and being "down" for over a week with no promised resolution in sight, makes me warn potential Sony Vaio customers to think twice!

Great size and cool graphics in an extremely portable, lightweight package make this my new favorite laptop.

This laptop rocks. i had purchased a vaio about ten years ago and it just died so i grabbed this one as soon as i could. The price is a bit high, but it is well worth it.
