This is a beautiful computer with a screen resolution typically found only in gaming laptops or for which you pay a premium. The only drawbacks to this computer are easily remedied. First the hard drive runs at a speed that is a few generations old, 4,200rpm, which is pretty slow. Most of today's laptop drives run at 5,400 and many companies are moving to 7,200rpm drives. From my experience, installing a faster hard drive makes a noticiable difference in speed. In this case in preparation for the transfer of you system from your existing drive to the new drive be aware that by simply removing one screw you have access to the hard drive BAYS (yes there are two) so you can simply insert your new 7,200rpm drive (I used a Western Digital Scorpio Black, 320 GB, 3 Gb/s, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM) and use your favorite disk imaging software to copy your system to the new drive (I used Acronis True Image Home 2009). Simply by changing my hard drive from a 4,200rpm one to a 7,200.2rpm one, at a cost of $89, I picked up a noticable increase in speed. Second I replaced the RAM and inserted two sticks for a total of 4gb of Kingston HyperX gaming memory which also impacted speed and only cost $60. After I installed the new drive I placed the old drive back into the second slot to use as a back up drive using imaging software. These two, relatively inexpensive, upgrades will have your laptop running like one costing hundreds more. If you know what you are doing I also upgraded the T7100 to a socket "P" T7500.

This is one of the best laptops I've ever earned. A great value, large HD screen. Would highly reccomend it!

This is a beautiful piece of hardware, I love it, have had no problems with it. Only regret is not buying it on Overstock as I overpaid Sony's prices.

Although this is a very good computer, it was purchased as a replacement for another VAIO. The screen colors on this computer seemed dull. Although spending a lot of time trying to make adjustments, the color richness just didn't seem right. Specifically, the whites looked gray. Raising the brightness only caused eye fatigue.

Very nice. Much more than expected........................................

I bought this laptop at the end of last month, and all I can say it wow. There is alot more features than it says on the page, which is really cool because I'm at school so I can do work on it...the only thing bad I have to say about it is the battery life, if you're on the road alot then this computer is not for you. But I love it!!! thanks so much. very fast shipping, and awesomeness in a bottle.

i just purchased this computer and could not be more satisfied. at first i had doubts about the computer mainly because of the screen size and weight. My daughter had to show me how to get on the internet i felt foolish after seeing how easy it is. I eventually learned to love the larger screen more so than the smaller screens. The features were more than i needed but im not complaining

I just purchased this laptop and am satisfied with it. when the laptop arrived i was surprised at how large it is. I thought it would be smaller but the larger size made it more practical as a private business owner because i have many windows open at once. Thanks to this large screen i can see it all. going from a 15 inch screen to a 17 inch screen is like getting a new work space.

every things good ,but didn't send recovery cd, laptop is very nice
