Best Buy has pushed out Sony -VAIO VPCSC31FM/S laptop at $979.99. How this extremely slim laptop performs? Let’s see together.

The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology also increases energy efficiency for your necessity. 6GB DDR3 memory expandable to 8GB further increases multitasking power and its 504GB 7200 rpm Serial ATA hard drive offers spacious storage for your photos, music, videos and other media data.

Running on a stable platform provided by Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit OS, the laptop gives you smooth computing experiences. And in terms of its physical specifications, it weighs only 3.8 lbs and measures just 1-inch thin with a 6-cell lithium-polymer battery. You will enjoy extremely lightweight portability. Its Backlit keyboard allows easy viewing even in dim light.

Frankly speaking, I really fell in love with laptop when I first saw it. It has a stylish design with a nice compact size. It is easy to set up with
lightning-fast speed. And other features are also great. But the sound quality is not that good and there’s fan noise. The port location is not very
reasonable. I think these are no big problems, it is still one worth recommendation.
