2 things wrong My kids love it!! So easy to use for them and me. Love windows 8! You can pick it up and move it. It's like a huge iPad! However for what I paid I wish I would have been told there is NOT a disc drive and speakers are in the back. You have to turn up the volume super loud and the only person that can hear it, is the person who is watching TV and not using the computer. March 20, 2013
Best Computer ever Frankly the best computer purchased, ever. .No joke, my 7 year old got the machine using, while I was still reading the manual, and playing a game when I was still figuring out windows 8 how to work. Fantastic design. If you love your iPad you love this one February 1, 2013
Ferrari of computers I researched this product for a few months and looked at other desktops and by far Sony was the best choice. i am extremely happy with my new Sony Vaio Tap. December 28, 2012
