I enjoy using Sony VAIO VPC-EF44FX/BI Laptop in doing all of my job and business . I am impressed by the build quality, the features and the pricepoint. My model came with 1920 x 1080 screen, which gives me plenty of real estate for the multi-tasking required in my job. The quad processor lets me tackle any of the business tasks. I am not a gamer, but I suspect that the video memory might not be up to snuff for serious gamers. The only things, really, that differs between this and the Dell XPS are the video memory, lighted keyboard (this does not have one) and the price. I upped my RAM to 8 GB and upped the OS to windows 7 Ultimate and now I have a machine that will last me years. Enough rambling. Let see the features more details :

Why I loved this unit??!!
- Power adapter is relatively small for the size of the unit. HP’s is easliy 5 or 6 times larger.
- Power plug is a 90 degree plug, so it is not as likely to get jarred or bumped as one that sticks out from the laptop a few inches.
- Built in bluetooth makes it easy to connect my bluetooth headset and listen to pandora while I work
- Great video resolution, and the LED screen is amazing. Makes my external LCD Samsung monitor not look as good as I thought it did.
- Tactile keyboard. I like the separate keys (similar to the iMac). It just feels like it will last longer than the pop-off keys on other units
- Multi-touch pad is cool, but it takes some getting used to
- 4 USB ports
The weight is what I would expect from a 17″ laptop. And the battery life is OK.
In all, I totally recommend this laptop to people who want a solid feature-packed performer for a reasonable price.
