      Comments about Sony VAIO EL2 VPCEL22FX/B 15.5" Notebook Computer (Black):

      So far so good. This is my first Sony (I've been an HP girl from the start and ALWAYS had great luck with HP.) I really wanted a 10-key on the keyboard - without doing an add-on. HP just didn't have much in my price range ($400-$500). This computer is a downgrade from my last laptop and without a doubt the reason for my lack-luster. So far so good and if I get three good years from this Sony all will be well.
      (The fast startup time is impressive. It took the same upgrades over and over for the first two days and now finally seems to have settled.)
      As always, the service/experience with B&H is stellar.
