I have tried several laptops recently and have sent them back because I can't find one that I liked, was small enough yet powerful, and had great battery life. Well, that has all changed - got the sz650n/c several days ago and it is GREAT - the speed is just amazing. The only down side is there is a lot of "third party" software on the computer slowing it down. Now, there are a lot of people who are lowing the rating they are giving because of that - but all of the laptops I have used recently have had a ton of crap installed on them but I think that is just become "standard." If you are looking for a great laptop that just flies you have found it. I have not taken it out of speed mode - as I am still getting almost four hours of battery life!

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously Unimpressive for a $2,000+ Notebook
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2007

The amount of software loaded on this computer is obscene, and this is not an exaggeration. Just to do any single task, the computer would take 60 seconds or more to respond because there is just THAT much software loaded into memory. It is insane, I am not exaggerating! Just uninstalling everything doesn't remove all the residual miscellaneous files and settings that the system must deal with in order to run regular tasks. If you buy this machine, I would suggest you use your own copy of Windows to overwrite what is there so the computer is clean and runs at optimal level. Other than though, the computer's performance had a Vista Performance Score of 3.5, but was very unimpressive when using it. Next, the video was iffy on this machine when connected to an external monitor, it was unbelieveably unstable. Lastly, when this computer is connected to its docking station, the DVD drawer dragged along the surface is is laid on meaning you have to move your mouse and mousepad completely out of the way. One last thought: It was not a sturdy machine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sony Dreamt of an Ultrabook...but created a monster.
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2012
I guess I'm lucky that it's just dying now....it it's fifth year. But actually, it started last year with the hard disk crashing and me losing a lot of data...guess I forgot about that.

For me, the death signal is the hard disk that's rattling and crashing -- along with the HOT HOT wrist supports...this pup's overheating! I now just slam the computer down on the counter to engage the HD stabilization ....it actually worked one time. I don't care.

What drove me insane with this computer, is the LONG LONG processing times to boot, to shut down...and all the bloat ware that I removed as best I could. I got so frustrated I would just cut the power off..."there ya bastud!"...but it showed me, and crashed.

But this was a pretty machine with "cutting edge" hardware when I bought it and paid a premium ($2300) at the time. My rationale...it'll last and allow me to keep pace with tech. innovation that'll leave cheaper models in the dust. I would have been accurate if the machine held up since in fact, it still looks really sharp...Sony anticipated the "Ultrabook" trend in terms of looks and some functionality...but created a monster -- a hybrid of old stuff masquerading as the future.

My new strategy...for the work I do...write and surf and watch of few news vids online...cheap is the way to go...like 400 cheap...why spend 800? 1200? unless you do tasks that really demand processing power...if it last 3 years, I'm ahead of the curve and get new hardware down the road.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great hardware, not so great software
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2007

The great part...hardware-wise, this laptop is top of the line. Fast Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram, large HDD, 8400M GS, etc. It has a BEAUTIFUL screen and is insanely light-weight. Some people do not like the feel of the casing or the keyboard, saying it feels plasticy or cheap, but honestly, I think it feels solid and durable. The keyboard is the perfect size in my opinion and the casing feels like high quality.

Now comes the not so great part. Vista! I have never used Vista before but thought that since I'm fairly good with XP, Vista shouldn't be too hard to learn. Like any new OS you play with, there will be some time spent learning where new features are and how to change this or that. I'm well aware of that. Never once did I think this would be an instantaneous transition from XP to Vista. And actually, it wasn't so much the transition that aggravated me as it was the bugginess of Vista.

I can't say for sure if it is Vista, Sony's software, or a mix, but I had to spend a good chunk of time spread over a week just to get this OS running somewhat stable. Even at this point, I'm not 100% sure all the kinks are worked out. I am sure when SP1 comes out for Vista, it will help out tremendously.

So yeah, I'm not sure how to rate this item since on one hand, I love the design/look and the hardware packed in. On the other hand, there are definitely some software issues such as Vista and all the bloat-ware installed.

If you're willing to put forth the effort to do any kind of software cleaning, then by the end, you will have one spectacularly running machine. I got this for a very reasonable price as well from Amazon, so that is another plus to this. However, if I had bought this a lot earlier when it was $2000+, I would be extremely mad to have to go through so much trouble just to get the laptop to run properly.
