speed!!
Customer Rating
5.0
This is my 3rd computer (tried 3 other brands) to find the right one, meaning, gaming without compromise. I finally can say, without reservation that this computer has all the speed you will need for any games currently out. The final word on this system, fast and STABLE!!!!
No other system has shown the speed and stability that this system has proven to be. Dell or Alienware is a bit more money, but worth it in the end.
Games I run :
BF4
FC4
Shadow of Mordor
Watch Dogs
ECT.... ect....ect...

So I bought this PC, it took longer than I expected to get here but that is because it had to be assembled , I am guessing.
The PC has good hardware:
- dual 290x AMD graphic cards
- Intel processor I7
- 1200 watt PS
- nice case and lights.

Now for the bad part, AMD crossfire {dual graphic cards working together}. AMD is just not supporting the technology properly or timely.
Do yourself a favor and decide for yourself by doing a web search for Crossfire issues.

I run high end games like, Farcry 4 , Shadow of Mordor, Crisis 3 , Battlefield 4, Dragon age Inq....ect..ect.
The GPU's with crossfire were very unstable, but if I turned off Crossfire and used just one single card , it was fine. {yes I had the latest drivers and even beta drivers, but AMD just does not support there drivers like Nvida does, not even close}

AS far as the workmanship from the CybertronPC company who put together the machine, it was very good, lots of cable management, and arranged well for the space needed for all the items in the box. When a company takes the time to put in a 1200 watt PS, to push the AMD cards, you know they are looking out for your performance. Regrettably the AMD 290X crossfire nightmare is not worth the purchase. Until AMD gets more active with updates to there drivers for crossfire, my suggestion is to stay away (or get a system with just one AMD graphics card).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: flip, touchscreen , and dedicated graphics
What's not so great: battery life
I have read many reviews on this laptop, and let me express, many have not taken the time to update the laptop, which is the cause of many of the issues stated in the reviews. Let me state very clear, "this laptop must be updated , or you will have issues." Once updated, this baby hums along like a kitten.
- sony provides you with software that makes updating this laptop a breeze. Even the user only minded can update this thing. very nicely done.
- Sony has done an excellent job on the screen , 1080p is perfect for this laptop.
- The flip hinge is very solid, but you must pay attention of the lock and release, you must lock in before putting it away, or you will get a surprise when you open it next time, it will flip up on you have way open. I am very impressed with the hinge and lock.
- Sony has gone out of its way to provide you with the software you will need to do any sort of music , making or listening. Again, very nice.
- The touch pad is usable, but not the best out there. It has a nice feel to it and it has the finger control built in (no buttons)
- processor power is great, very fast and does tend to run a bit hot, but this is a intel processor, your not going to burn it up, the rating is 100C which is every high before shut down, no worries here, it doe not even get close, highest I have seen it is 70c under intense load. I am a power user.
-Fan noise, again please update your laptop, with the sony updater and you will not have any problems. the fan does not run all the time, as some would have you believe.
- usb ports, all 3.0 and very well done two on the left away from the mouse,one on the right .. all are very fast and again well done.
- Graphics , I am a gamer, and programmer , music maker and so on, so I use intense graphic apps, and this laptop has handled all of them, it pulls hard in games like Battlefield 4 (35 FPS) and any real time video format conversions but it never comes close to shutting down. The dedicated 735m is perfect for gaming and high end graphics. (now I will say this as I play games , it does tend to make the W, A , S , D keys a bit warm, as the fan kicks in, the exhaust fan is right under these keys, or close to it, and you will feel the heat as the turbo kicks in and your graphics card gets taxed.
- finally I will say a bit about the touch screen, it is very well done, and Sony is getting a bad rap for windows going into power saving mode. The screen is very responsive and easy to work with, in tablet mode, though a bit large, it sits nicely on my knees as I watch a movie, and boy can this thing display a movie, nice sound with the updates, before the update it was a bit low, (again plz update before bashing)
I am not a writer or promoter of a product, I just like what sony has done with this laptop, quality product. worth taking a look at, IMHO.
This product is... Good sound quality, easy to set up, bulky, lightning fast
About me... Parent with kids, Technology guru, Regularly process large video or graphics files, Gamer, Business Professional
I would recommend this to a friend!
