    Hi guys. I am in the market for a new laptop and currently my eyes are resting on a Sony Vaio fit.

    Sony Vaio SVF1521GSG Intel i7-3537U 2GHz 15.5" LED 4GB 1TB HDD Notebook | Landmark PC | Online Computer Sales South Africa

    Link to specs in my country. Now I am almost ready to pull the trigger on this one and but came across a couple or should I say allot of people that are complaining about the wifi on the Fit being really bad. I will mainly use it as DJ laptop but I dont want to sit with a paper weight that cant connect to the net if the router is in the next room.

    Has anyone got experience in this issues? Should I go ahead and buy it and find out for myself or should I be looking else where for a my next laptop?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    PS Alienware in sig has seen better days.

    WLAN is bad
    not haswell so the battery should be around 2 hours with wlan and low brightness.
    heavier than ultrabook around 2kg or so

    Apart from note being haswell, it is also a low power cpu and not normal voltage.
