Rated 100% by by Bola (Mar, 2012)This Laptop addressed every single issue I had with the Vaio, its better built(screen is solid not flimsy like it was with the Vaio) has a bigger and faster hard drive(1TB, and 8gb of ssd),more ram(8gb vs 4gb on Vaio) and it maintained all the things I loved about the Vaio(speed, graphics card, backlit keyboard, screen resolution 1600x900, and size).

Series 7 NP700Z3A-S06US by stryderFan noise level when plugged in is unacceptable and the 'Silent Mode' control that quites it down needs to be turned back on each time you reboot and you can bet Silent Mode also limits the processor's power when engaged.
