High performing, good quality Vaio! So I really do love this laptop. Except there is one little flaw. I have a stuck pixel on my screen. I've done some research though which showed me that all LCD monitors have a chance at getting these stuck pixels. I am however getting this screen replaced. I am extremely happy with this purchase, and Dell computer are so expensive when it comes to the blu ray player/burner. Sony makes that feature real cheap which is the main reason why I bought from them. If you are a gamer and/or video editor consider this laptop, it's rendering speeds are incredible. I do however recommend getting the Core I7 840qm processor. It is a little expensive but I had extra money and I might as well get the extra performance for video editing and such. Enjoy then Vaio!

VPCF13AFX/B BOUGHT AS A GIFT FOR MY WIFE. . 2ND VAIO. HALF AS MUCH AS MY ORIGINAL COMPUTER AND MOSTLY THE SAME FEATURES EXCEPT MISSING VOLUME CONTROL BUTTONS WHICH ARE NEED ON THIS MODEL. ALSO MISSING PICTURE CONTROL BUTTONS... ON THE WHOLE RATE IT A 9 OUT OF 10... WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN February 9, 2011
pretty good computer sound could be better for the price, hd is great, pretty good product for the price. January 21, 2011
Good BIG and Powerful laptop This laptop it's a great desktop replacement, I got the HD display and I love it! Battery life (for this BIG machine) is not bad, it doesn't get too hot either and the keyboard you got to love it! the HD is fast too. Wireless works GREAT also very fast! it comes with 2 USB 3 ports and 1 eSATA, so if you have to transfer big heavy files you'll be ok. For the money SONY could do a way better job with the finish, the plastic looks and feels cheap. Other than that its all good... December 15, 2010
