I love my first notebook! It was a cinch to set up, has all the features I want, and the price was great. I was a little concerned about the VAIO being a refurb, but that concern has been erased by the excellent performance and condition of the computer. Downloading & opening large files are done in a flash-- unbelievable speed. The only drawback I've found is the short battery life-- hence the 4 stars for performance. Other than that, this is a terrific purchase. Thanks Overstock!
