    How come I don't see any threads or owner's threads about it?

    The laptop comes with a gt 735m or gt 740m but how come nobody talks about it? Is there something wrong with it? People not upgrading from Vaio S13/S15 to this?

    Tell me what's up peeps :hi2:

    Specs from here Sony VAIO 15.5" Laptop - Black (Intel Core i7-3537U / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / Windows 8) : 15" Laptops - Future Shop


    I enjoy this laptop. It definitely has a premium feel to it. The well spaced backlit keyboard and brushed aluminum finish are great. The screen is beautiful crisp 1080p HD. Horizontal viewing angles comparable to most any laptop. Vertical viewing angles not so good. Battery life isnt the greatest but im usually plugged in anyway. The creative software that comes preinstalled is good, though Ive only used Movie Studio Platinum thus far.

    Biggest drawback for me is Windows 8. There are so many unnecessary, sometimes frustating(snap to maximise comes to mind), features enabled by default in this OS.

    I would recommend this to anyone who wants a premium feel laptop but doesnt want to give their money to Apple.


    If you have any particular questions, I am more than happy to answer.
