What's great about it: Design and features
What's not so great: WiFi and hard drive
This is a beautifully designed Sony laptop with a terrific screen. This is my fifth Sony Vaio in ten years but as with all Vaio PC's it comes up short in one or two areas. This laptop could have been truly elegant but for the stock Broadcom WiFi card and the 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive. There are over 1200 complaints on the Vaio forum regarding the WiFi connectivity for this model and Sony has not satisfactorily addressed them.
The WiFi connection frequently cuts off and unless the laptop is in very close proximity to the router, the signal strength drops dramatically. I replaced the Broadcom WiFi card with a $30 Intel 7260 Dual Band WiFi card and it works perfectly. The WiFi connection now is instantaneous, strong and full. I've voided my warrantee by modifying the PC but it's a risk that I'll take.
There's no excuse for Sony to use a 5400 RPM HD in a laptop which costs $900; a 7200 RPM hybrid HD would provide an improvement which wouldn't significantly add to the cost. I replaced the stock HD with a Samsung 500G Solid State HD ($235) and the laptop is now what it should have been in the first place. Startup time went from 88 seconds with the stock HD, down to 23 seconds after installing the SSD. Programs, even the notoriously slow-opening Outlook 2013, now start up instantly.
I bought my 14" FIT as an open box item which provided a $100 discount. The modifications increased my cost by about $165 and while I like the laptop, I would only recommend it to someone if they were willing to make similar performance mods to the machine.
One minor criticism is, while the brushed aluminum case is attractive, it's a finger print magnet. I put a vinyl skin on mine and while that added another $35 to my cost, it's not a necessity.
This product is... Good sound quality, A touch pad that works great, Perfect for Business, A nice compact size, easy to set up
About me... Business Professional, Comfortable with technology
I would recommend this to a friend!
