This is my 2nd Vaio, I bought it because of the great form factor (weight, size, etc). My first Vaio (an older model) worked very well. This one is just plain awful.The key problem with the laptop is the _basics_ just don't work. The webcam freezes. The wireless configuration disappears. The sound output stops through multiple reboots. Don't even bother with the fingerprint sensor.In my first 45 days I've re-installed Vista once, and have spent no less than 5 hours on the phone with tech support.Don't buy it.
