hyeah: but you wont get good battery life as sony itself have mentioned 2.5 hrs which is under ideal conditions with lower brightness,normal web surfing and all, you wont get more than 1 hr of battery life while gaming at high brightness level. But apart from battery life everything else in this laptop is very good and suits your usage conditions and ofcourse its much better than the bulky dell studio 15:cool2:
