I have to say, I was awe by the design of the shell of this baby. I was so happy until I realize I was not productive for the 2 weeks that I had this sony vaio. Most of the time i had to plug in an external keyboard and mouse because the right shift is as tiny as an ant and the glidepad will not response well. I was really frustrated when I saw try to edit my photo in paintshop pro. My cloning tool keep clone more than i needed because the glidepad was not responsive. At time it wont even move and times it will jump around. I turned on off all the fancy feature and yet the same. As for the graphic, I couldn't watch a DVD and type my report in word at the same time due to the weak GPU. Overal I'm very unhappy and wish I didn't spent [so much money] on this flawful laptop. I gave it 1 star for cool power plug, another for design. It could have had 3 more if the keyboard, glidepad, and graphic were better. I hope this helps you all. I dont had Sony, infact majority of my electronics are SONY. From TV to Stereo system to my old desktop and laptop. Sony you need to listen to the costumers!!!

Awful keyboard layout.......2003-04-24
The shift key design was critical enough for me to take it back to the store.
I ended up with the Apple 12" Powerbook, which is the best laptop I've ever used.
