It's a little disappointing that the fit and finish isn't quite up to the standards we'd expect from a $2500 laptop. It just doesn't have the perfectly clean lines and premium build materials we usually find in systems that expensive. In this case, it's because our test unit is the very upper end of a line that is meant to start at $900 -- and at that price, the overall design is about average. In other words, I'm really impressed by the outstanding performance and usability of this very expensive ultraportable laptop, but oddly enough, a little underwhelmed by Sony's sense of style.
