  • Pros
    Sexy body and performance
  • Cons
    Fan Noise

I got to agree the fan noise is RIDICULOUSLY LOUD, i am using this laptop in a quiet room and when doing a few simple stuff, the fan noise just went very loud. However Sony has done a good job on the performance of the laptop, i would still recommend this laptop if you do not mind the fan noise.

The fan noise is RIDICULOUSLY LOUD in a quiet room. Just using email and wifi with a dim screen and the fan still runs NON-STOP... What a moronic design to place it the way they did. After about 8-9 Sony Vaio notebooks over the years, this is my LAST SONY computer ever. I am THAT effin annoyed. Sony went from making some of the best stuff ever to pure stinking garbage.

  • Pros
    speed, battery, weight
  • Cons
    Keys on left hand side rattle, no support for two external screens, biometric reader is a pain in the rear

I think Sony needs to lift its game at QA
Also stop loading the machine with all the Sony bloatware.

I am giving a 4 because the keyboard rattling noise is very annoying, the screen falls forward when lying in bed, the fingerprint reader is not aligned properly and there is no support for dual screens.
