the starting regular price is $1399.99 to be exact might bit more due to region etc. But I'm getting $3000 soon so I'm hoping to get it.

i guess its alright for a small vaio
theres no way i could live with one of those though, its too damn small and the sreen res makes me feel claustrophobic

Yea only bad thing is the screen size only 13"... 17" ftw ^^

and it will probably be around $1500 after everything

I love vaios, and I have a tiny laptop too. It's great for college, considering the little pull up wooden things on seats aren't wide enough for a 15/17" laptop - meaning you have to put it on your lap.

In the summer, and even winter, having a portable heater melting your shorts isn't really fun. Tiny ones are nice for that, and to carry around.

13.3" Screen

Too small
Graphics
Mobile Intel® Graphics
Intel graphics are terrible

find something with nvida or ati even if you dont game on it

Vaios are like alienware they are way overpriced. You could get a laptop just as good as that for about 700$ if you got a HP, and it'll still last just as long.

As many have said, if you even want a chance to game on it, don't get anything integrated. Even a nvidia/ati integrated will be shit. Make sure its dedicated.
