I have had mine since October and absolutely love it! I have had great Sony machines but made the switch when this machine came out. This machine with all of the bells and whistles and the highest end specs (4 gigs of ram in a laptop, wow) still came out cheaper than the Sony SZ series with lower specs which is what I was using before.

This is a blazing fast machine and my only complaint about it was the Dell wireless N card in it dropped it's connection occasionally. This was fixed with a driver update that came out in December.
