REVIEW

With the fastest processor i7 and lots of other upgrades. It's a fantastic machine. The huge screen will take a couple of days getting used to and it wasn't evident how to adjust brightness (it's in the Vaio Manual), but once made less bright, it's been an absolute pleasure to work with. The image is super crisp and so beautiful. I can't wait to watch some Bluray films on it. Also, installing my programs has been a total breeze: it's really fast, you can tell when the turbo mode kicks in as the fan behind the screen will be a bit louder (but not a nuisance loud though, so no worries) and it's just very powerful. 

The only thing I wish is that the screen could have been adjustable up or down. Now it's at a set level from the desk. Yes, you can tilt it, but that doesn't lower it and I like most of my screen to be at or below my eye level. Now it's a bit higher since it's such a big screen. The keyboard is good but seems a bit 'fragile' in comparison to the quality of the monitor. Still, it's fine and the mouse as well. Oh, and the monitor is pretty thin and doesn't heat up a lot at all, even though it houses the fastest processor all in the back, so really happy with the 'compact' space it takes on my desk. All in all, I would highly recommend it. 

It's maybe not the cheapest one out there, but you get so much more for your money and I'm looking for years of enjoyment with this Vaio desktop.
