    Hi Guys,
    I purchased a VAIO Z13 . The specs are:
    1080p screen, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD, core i7 processor. I like the laptop so far, but the Sony bloatware really annoys me. Firstly, I would like to get rid of the VAIO dock on top and uninstall the VAIO pmb as well. Is there any way to do this. And, my previous laptop was a thinkpad t400 which used to show me the time of the remaining battery. How can I enable this in the VAIO?

    Uninstall it just like any other software in the control panel.

    For battery monitor, download batterybar (free). google it.
