Advantages: Compact and Powerful. Like having a PC in your pocket

Disadvantages: Needs a few more plug-in slots/connections

I bought mine about 18 months ago at a Duty-Free shop at Gatwick Airport as I was leaving the UK to work abroad. The Laptop was easy to use but the size took a little getting used to.
I was able to log on to WiFi hotspots and plug into the internet via a cable as well. Wonderful stuff. A Bulgarian colleague was amazed that he could see the internet on screen but no cables. The look on his face was amazing.
All my colleagues were impressed with both the compact size and features, especially females as they likes the style and the light weight.
The hard-drive did pack up after only a few months. I'm not sure if this was a fault or the fact that the cleaner in my accomodation rough-handled the Laptop when I left it out one day. Getting a replacement wasn't easy and I didn;t use the Warranty as the country I was in made it likely I would never see the computer again. I now have a 40 gig h/d instead of a 30 gig.
I've used it for all kinds of work and plugged it into a projector for presentations. All worked well.
I would like to see at least one more USB slot and a connector similar to the additional monitor slot but the other way round, if you know what I mean.
I'm more than happy with my Sony and hope to get a few more years use from it before it become an antique.

Summary: A PC in my pocket, totally adaptable and allows seamless transition between office and home systems.
