    That sounds about right. There's really not that much sony crap (I would guess ~3GB). Keep in mind 4gb is sucked up by hibernation file, 4gb is sucked up by paging file. ~8gb is setup as the recovery partition.

    That is normal. beaups has explained it well.

    Also, don't forget, a "128 GB" drive is actually 128000000000 byte drive, which is 119.2 GB in reality.

    In reality it is 128 GB while windoze counts on a basis of 2 (Gigibyte GiB), so you get about 7% less in the explorer but though you can use all 128 000 000 000 bytes (minus file system stuff etc.).
