When typing in dim light, an LED backlight creates a pleasant glow, framing the individual keys and illuminating the lettering to make it even easier to find the right keys.

Beautiful workhorse The new i5 processor is quite strong, it handles everything im throwing at it with ease. The ram, while still a decent amount, would have been better if bumped up to 8 gig "true dual channel", although it is enough to run almost all tasks. The 1TB hard drive is more then enough space for anyone.. Only issue i really had was with Vaio Care& Update out of the box, and i finally figured out it was the preinstalled Kaspersky Internet Security causing the issue, in the Application control of Kaspersky, it was blocking these two applications from reaching destination. Other then this hang up, which was resolved, this machine is absolutely beautiful, easy to use, and extremely fast. It is one i will be holding onto for a long time. February 23, 2013
