Not to be over looked by MEKELLY00 on newegg.com Jan 6, 2012
I did a lot of research on this model and the only quips I could find were that the battery life was not exactly what sony claims it to be, and that the keyboard takes a little getting used to. Both of these statements are accurate. I keep finding myself ...

The price might a setback but if you are looking for a laptop that balances performance, battery life, reliability, and aesthetics, this laptop is definitely worth it...Overall I think it's in the top 5 in the price range...an excellent backlit keyboard, good keys and trackpad; included Bluetooth; very light weight for a 15.5"; a clean, good-looking minimalist look (reminiscent of the black slab in 2001: A Space Odyssey); and acceptable battery life even with just the base battery...

Sony VAIO SE1 VPCSE13FX 15.5" Notebook VPCSE13FX/S B&H
the only thing I would complain is the vedio/sound quality isn't good compared to apple...The touchpad as with all touchpads is erratic especially when a usb mouse is plugged in...The only complaint so far is something that seems to exist on nearly all laptops/notepads of last 4+ years -- that jumping cursor (from lazy palm of right thumb landing on mouse pad as you type) -- and it's not nearly as bad as my notepad or last laptop...

Sony VAIO S Series (VPCSE13FX/S) Laptop Computer Review | PCWorld
Good-looking screen Light, thin, and portable...All USB ports are clustered on the same side Speakers are loud, but tinny and annoying...I definitely recommend headphones with this laptop...Sony includes a lot of software on its VAIO machines, which is good if you like Sony software, and not so great if you don't...The VAIO S Series is good for light multimedia usage......
