The quad-core Core i7 platform really shines when it comes to heavy duty multimedia tasks.

While the various preset configurations keep changing and disappearing, Sony currently has the customizable version of this system for sale on its website, and it's worth noting that even the $1,049 base model includes a quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU.

	Rated 76% Read the review (Jan, 2012) In benchmark testing, the 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 2670QM performed excellently, beating out Dell's XPS 15z and Toshiba's P775 (both with Core i7 CPUs) in our multitasking test.

	Rated 74% by 145 users at amazon.com The screen is bright and very sharp and big enough for my needs I was hoping for a larger hard drive since I have seen cheaper computers with a full 1-TB drive. Rated 100% by by Timothy-B.-Riley (Dec, 2011) I've compared a lot of machines, I was intrested in a laptop with good graphics (1080p resolution is awesome!!), a fast processor and good quality.
