Speedy laptop, good gaming performance by Rod on newegg.com Jun 29, 2012
I see someone mention the charging jack, this is a problem with all laptops that people use 24/7 with the AC charger plugged in lounging around and not being careful how the plug is oriented or yanked on. I've preached this to my oldest boy who is now ...
 
It's awesome! by R. March "CRracer_912" on amazon.com May 16, 2012

Sony Delivers by Val on newegg.com Mar 9, 2012
Sony's Vaio f23 is as powerful as it is beautiful. The screen is among the best I've seen, the keyboard has almost no flex, the sound is above average for a laptop, and the I7 processor is FAST. All but the most serious gaming enthusiasts should be ...

Sony VAIO F-Series (VPCF233FX/B) Laptop Computer Review | PCWorld
Excellent multimedia playback Light and portable...Lacks category's typical performance Ugly design...Audio on the VAIO F Series is quite good, though the speakers suffer from the usual laptop-speaker syndrome: tinniness and a lack of bass...Performance issues aside, the Sony VAIO F Series isn't a bad buy...It's modern-looking (not necessarily a good thing), with sharp angles, smooth lines, and a monochromatic, minimalist appearance......
