I got this laptop to replace my last Sony VAIO, and I have found they have improved their range since. The touch pad is textured which makes it easier to use, the keypad is better spaced, but I feel it is lacking a 'Display Off' button, but that only affects me as I use a second screen for streaming media. It has 3 USB ports, which is ample for an mp3 player, mobile and camera at all times. The laptop is very fast, and I have so far had no problems with it. The hard drive is perfectly capable to cope with all normal needs, I have managed to put all of my thousands of songs onto my computer and the hard drive is barely touched. Also, an increase in the capacity has not slowed the computer down. It loads up in less than a minute, even with many programs on start-up.

I would recommend this to many people, unless you have a special need for a super-computer, this should work for anyone, loads of space, really fast, and enough ports for everyday use.
