I'll preface this review with the fact that I own a Vaio desktop and a Vaio laptop and have been very pleased with both. Being a fan of the Sony Vaio series I sought out a new one and purchased this one. It was a mistake.
Immediately upon arrival the wifi would continuiously disconnect and reconnect. It was a pervasive issue on numerous networks so a little online research revealed that hundreds of people were having this same problem with this same machine. Sony support indicated they were aware and had been working (for months, apparently) to resolve the issue without success.
If that wasn't bad enough, the laptop suddenly developed the nasty habit of rapidly losing power and turning off. I don't mean "turning off" in the sense of performing a normal shutdown. I mean "turning off" in the sense of a rapid power outage and everything going black and losing any data one was working on.
This was unbearable, and combined the the wifi failures, prompted me to immediately return the machine. I would not recommend anyone else purchase this product.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program On first glance, this is a beautiful machine. It is sleek and thin. The keyboard is very nice with a blue backlight and the screen picture is gorgeous. If only it performed as well as it looked. I have had the same issues with this laptop as others have with my net connection going out and then not being able to be found. It has happened enough to make it using this laptop a laborious task. Also, this was my first experience with Windows 8 and I am not impressed. It is not intuitive and I much prefer older versions of Windows. Windows 8 would be better on a touch-screen laptop, which this one isn't. The mouse pad controls are neat but don't make up for the lack of a touch-screen.Overall, I love the looks of this laptop but haven't liked using it much, particularly due to the net connection problems. I was hoping it would replace my old desktop but I am finding myself preferring to use my old clunker because it has Windows Vista and no internet connectivity issues.

This, aesthetically, is a beautiful machine, but, after setting it up, began freezing regularly. A patch was recommended (I've never had a laptop where in day two it required a patch) and still the problem persist. I should have got the HP Envy after all, but was sold on this because it was newer. Also, when I purchased this it was advertised as having a touch screen. There are two models I now know. The Fit and the Fit E, which is the one I wanted.If this machine didn't have that freeze problem, I'm certain I would be quite happy.
