ALSO - go to the Sony Style Education site (sorry if you've already mentioned this), but I found a version of the E17 originally for £759 for £705 in the education store. That's pretty significant, I think.

And I'm waiting until late late August to get this thing. Better value comes with the wait.

There is no rush for it...

But my current PC is starting to show signs of wear, that's all!

Sony Vaio's are so nice and I would love one now :L

People who care about windows 8...
I don't like it much atm, but least here there's an offer for an upgrade.
The OS upgrade can be applied to any win 7 PC.

For one, Windows 8, is optimized for touch screen compatibility.. Therefore rendering ANY current laptop pretty much pointless for it + windows 8 will be coming out with its own range of tablets in October running Windows 8 RT / Pro (both of which are aimed for portability) & It's released mid October 2012,

Sony have one of the best build quality for laptops running windows OS, although macbooks have better build, they come at a high price tag..

Sony Vaio E17 is good, my brothers buying one currently for £700 with all specs, I bought a Vaio F in January 2012 for £750 and so far its great! (:.

Would advise anyone to get one

So far so good with this new laptop. Got it in Seamfoam white and I'm loving it. For the price this VAIO is a good deal the 1.7 GHZ is far from being "super" snappy but it does the job, close the lid for a while come back and open it and it resumes quickly, or use the integrated WEB button to power up your computer faster and access the web in about a minute. I guess this does the job for students who want a simple laptop for word processing, surf the web, and use Skype or any other VOIP service. Far form being the best, but not a bad option for the average user.
