expect to be satisfied with performance rather than blown away by it. The Vaio is a refined-looking laptop, quite elegant in design. The casing feels solid although weight might be an issue if resting on your lap for extended use.

Three USB slots is, I find, less than I need so adding an expansion hub is ...
