It took me several months of looking locally and on the internet to find a computer with all the bells and whistles that this machine has. I have tried making DVD's and this machine does a great job. I can't think of a better machine for the money.

I went for this laptop after months of searching for one. If you are familiar and look at specific components (processor, graphic card, DRAM density, BD burn-in, high-resolution screen,...) used in this laptop then the price it is selling for is a very good if not excellent deal. The computer has enough power to perform any task you may have including playing games. I have used it for about a week now and i am very pleased with it. It's like you have a portable desktop with you. I have played or burned BD so I won't be able to comment on that. The only thing I want to point it out here is that if you look for a laptop that you can easily carry around then you may want to look for something else because this piece is heavy and it's not all convinient to carry around.

What a deal on this laptop, not sure why it was discounted so much since it is everything it is cracked up to be and worth the actual asking price. So far so good after a few weeks. Not sure about the battery life since I use it as a desktop omost of the time, but it is listed as having a shorter life due to features such as great video memory.
Good Buy

I spent a really long time shopping for laptops and finally decided on this Sony. I am happy with my purchase. After you install all of the Windows updates and tweak the display settings, the machine performs very well. I have tested the Blu-ray driver and it works very well. It has more than enough power to handle everything I need it for. The laptop is built very well. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to anyone shopping for a new laptop.

About ENERGY STAR ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping
us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient
products and practices.
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR,
saved enough energy in 2007 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions
equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on
their utility bills.
ENERGY STAR
Qualified Products
Products in more than 50 categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR. They
use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Ask for the
ENERGY STAR. Energy efficient choices can save families and
businesses about a third on their
energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without
sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the
energy efficient choice. If looking for new household products, look for ones that have
earned the ENERGY STAR. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines
set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.
What Is A Cell? It's a
battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a
single energy cell a battery as well.
In
electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical
Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in
the form of electricity. The battery cells combine to produce more energy
(voltage or amps) than a cell by itself. When joined in this way, it is a
battery of cells. Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells -
rechargeable or disposable. The more cells, the more energy available -
meaning more hours of use usually.
In Notebook computers, the battery case usually
holds three or more cells. 3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3
hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop. 6 cell (or
more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use. This
can be good or bad! More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!
So remember to always check for the number of
cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.
Battery Trivia:
The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta! The first known usage of the battery (as we know it
today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills.

Recovery Media
Most computer systems no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or CDs used to restore your computer system to it's factory shipped state). Many do not even include Operating System disks.
This is not specific to systems purchased from any one company, but now standard practice throughout the entire industry.
However, many manufacturers include software on the hard drive that creates recovery media for you. This allows burning your own set of recovery CDs or DVDs - all you need is the blank media.
Inclusion of such a recovery utility varies by manufacturer and model; not all manufactures and models include such a utility. For those that include such a utility we recommend you create your own set of recovery media after completing the Windows installation. In other words, right after you start using your PC!
If you fail to do this and encounter a difficulty in the future you may not be able to properly restore your computer.
Some manufacturers may have physical recovery media available separately for purchase; consult your owner’s manual support information section for additional information. Systems that do not come with a CD/DVD burner may still include Recovery Disks - please check the manufacturer's specs.
Contents of package may vary from those pictured and stated here,
due to changes in manufacturer's specifications or merchandising.
Please check the product information carefully, items not included
may no longer be required.
