Of course, the problem is easily solved by purchasing an external USB mouse, I just wonder how could a giant like sony produce such a dumb design and tout it as an innovation? sometimes we just need things that work, if you innovate by breaking existing functionality, it's only gonna frustrate users.

and I love it. I have had many laptops, from just about every manufacturer, including HP / Compaq, Gateway, Apple, Dell, and Toshiba. I am hard on my laptops. I have high expectations for them... not only do I do basic computing on them, like web browsing and e-mail, but I also tend to play games on them. A lot.This Vaio, even though it only has HD 3000 graphics, has run Guild Wars 2, Fallout New Vegas, World of Warcraft, and Skyrim very well. Granted, it will not perform like an i7 with 8 gigs of RAM backed up by a 1 gig Radeon HD 6770, but I maintain 30 fps on Guild Wars 2 in the larger battles.
Heat is rarely an issue. I have monitored the temperature of the laptop and it has reached a max. temp of 68 degrees Celsius thus far during heavy gaming.
The sleep ---> wake cycle is really fast, and I am happy with the battery life (~3 hours if I don't do anything crazy with it). I have gotten compliments on it (Mostly that it looks like a MacBook pro... At a fraction of the cost, LOL). The chiclet keyboard is very much like the keyboard on my old MBP, and I like it quite a lot. I can't speak to others' concerns about the trackpad as I always use a Micro USB wireless Darkfield mouse but the few times I have used the trackpad, it hasn't been something where I was like, "Oh man, this is horrible!" So... if a track pad is really that important to you, I guess you can look elsewhere?
Anyway, for the money, this is a solid performer that not only runs well, but also LOOKS good, and really, when it comes down to brass tacks... we all like a stylish product.

`+Previous laptop Toshiba Satellite 2.1ghz m305d 14" 2008(1) Resolution is Gorgeous for Movies and Photos (I was worried B4 purchases b/c i use to have ATI Radeon graphics card)
(2) Not to heavy, Thin but lengthy so I can not slip it my Purse
(3) Keys feel great, Normal. The number pad on the side is heaven. But The keys sit on cheap plastic material. If i press down to hard i feel like ill break it. NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MOUSE. Very Normal with option of clicking. (Loud clicker)
(4) Looks Gorgeous, Love the style
(5) Sounds good. I dont blast it, but music is good sound for me. wouldnt recommend it for musician. Very quiet machine and doesnt get hot in my lap.
Cons
(1) Might just be windows 7, but I keep getting pop-ups
(2) Comes with NO decent software and barely any Sony Software
(3) Start up time is nearly 1 Minute upon purchase.. hhhmmmm weird b/c I thought you were the competitor of MAC
(4) Loud mouse clicker, but other mouse settings are easily adjustable
I give it 3.5 stars just because its a bang for your buck 549.00
