    I uninstalled a lot of the 3rd-party bloatware that came with the SZ-650NC, thru control panel.

    There is a LOT of Sony software showing up on control panel. Can any of it be safely uninstalled, or is all of it needed for laptop function?

    most of it you need for the computer to run.

    i'm not sure which ones you can delete, maybe someone more knowledgeable can help

    None of it necessary to run.

    But would you not want to have Battery management of Performance management? If you don't want these features there's no point in keeping them.
