4 out of 5 stars Great Media laptop with all good things loaded   December 31, 2008
Roben (St. Louis, USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This laptop sizzles. Eventhough it is 16.4 inches it is not heavy at all. While closed it appears smaller than when it is opened. Windows 64 bit loads up very fast. It took a while to get used to the 16:9 wide screen. The 1080P resolution is great, the fonts are lot smaller though. The laptop comes with a bunch of Sony media software. Blu ray movies, DVD movies looks very nice on the screen and the laptop can be easily hooked up to a HDTV for 1080P output.
The battery life is not great though, maybe I need to tweak. The sound has a lot of treble but you have options to choose different equalizer. Bluetooth connections to some of nokia devices did not go through very well and is mainly due to 64 bit compatibility. VAIO media plus software overrides windows media center and it works very well as a media server.
The Internet explorer 64 bit does not support flash player. The 64 bit is a risk for the time being. More and more hardware and software will soon be compatibile hopefully.
The laptop came with Windows Live One care trail version. I uninstalled it and installed Avast and it works great. The keypad was soft and was not noisy. I did not like the 3 USB ports on the right hand side of the laptop as the external USB connections interfered with my mouse.

Overall this powerful laptop rocks if you are media savvy...
