Comments about Sony VAIO F23 VPCF23EFX/B 16.4" Notebook Computer (Matte Black):
I've had this laptop for about a month and have had little to complain about. I mostly use it for Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator and some gaming (think Mass Effect 2).

Great for everyday use. Backlit keypad and sleek exterior make this a nice looking laptop. Other than appearance, it is quite capable in terms of performance and handles everything I have asked it to so far with ease. Would recommend this to any average computer user.

Comments about Sony VAIO F23 VPCF23EFX/B 16.4" Notebook Computer (Matte Black):
I am a graphic designer and I was looking for a machine with a Core i7 class processor, dedicated graphic card, Full HD screen, backlit keyboard and a 7200RPM HDD. The VAIO F series hit all the metrics at a price point that couldn't be beat. I am not a huge Sony fan but generally their products are high quality and my 2 weeks with this unit has proven the same. The design is minimalist but unique.
PROS:
-The screen is bright and the viewing angle is decent.
-The build quality is good. The unit feels very solid.
-Good WiFi signal reception.
-Great performance.
-Clear sound that pumps out at a good volume (compared to other laptops that I have owned).
CONS:
-Battery life. This is a powerful machine and the battery life isn't great. It's not ridiculously short either but it should be noted as a caveat.
