light weight

power socket design - 2nd laptop i have had where the central plastic pin in the power supply socket o the laptiop has broken off in normal use. this is a design fault but Sony would not repair under warranty. As a resukt i will not buy another sony...

Slim, light weight, good performance have all wireless connection i need such as bluetooth, 3G...

LCD is scratched by the edge between the key board and the trackpad. Battery life is not as long as 5h30 the label show. i can only use my Vaio 2h30 at Speed and more than 3h30 at Stamina with 80% lcd brightness 2 usb ports is a little weak point,...

Super light & compact Fully featured High-res screen DVD-RW 3G Fast processor

No iluminated keyboard Screen gets damaged by keyboad and case Dual graphics not supported in Linux Edges of case damage easily Green power led is way too bright

Gorgeous!!! Small, Lightweight. Screen is adorable.....

Battery life not as good as it is suggested!

The performance & design is pretty good.

It's larger & heavier than I wanted as I have previously used the TZ model Vaio but Sony no longer make a small powerful laptop (which I think is a huge mistake)!

The screen is very clear. The battery lasts longer than previous models. The design is light and very good

Number of ports has obviously been traded for light design but at least an extra USB port or putting something in the laptop box that it came with e.g. multiple USB connector would have been wise

Great speed and battery life. Portable and looks good

Screen flexes a bit more than you would expect. Screen is a bit small for that resolution and can be difficult to read.

excellent screen, good keyboard. Battery life can be very good - as long as only one application is running.

does not have all the features that were advertised! Eg finger-swipe for secure log-in Machine locks up completely when being used on battery and hte mains charger is connected. Needs battery removal to restart! Windows 7 still locks up too often...

Feels sturdy (a previous VAIO I had was flimsy but this one is good).

Battery life is about 2 hrs.
