Never too light
Can something be too light? When you're talking about a laptop, it's pretty hard to imagine that. But Sony's VPCSE2KGX/B S Series VAIO 15.5" laptop computer does its best to get there. Even though the VPCSE2KGX is only 4.4 lbs and less than an inch thick when closed, it’s not a lightweight, easy to carry box— you get full large screen benefits and 256GB solid state hard drive power. Sony has just engineered out the bulk that normally comes attached to such high performance. And speaking of lightness, with a full HD 1080p LED screen, you get to enjoy bright, detailed images whether you're just watching your favorite DVD, sorting through vacation photos, or putting the finishing touches on a spreadsheet. Or maybe you're doing it all at once — with 4GB of RAM and the impressive Intel i7 dual-core processor, multi-tasking is a breeze. Plus, a built-in web-camera with microphone can help if the people you like to talk to most feel light years away; powered by the same Exmor sensor found in Sony's best cameras, you get great detail when chatting with friends and family. Sony may not have made the VPCSE2KGX/B too light, but with slim design, fast performance, and a clear display, it all add up to make a laptop that's just light enough to be just right.

To put it simply you can get a computer that is better than this for a third of the price. I know its not a desktop but I cant even Update the graphics card because of the Sony software installed and I have Games that keep telling me I need to Update my driver because it is outdated. I spoke with Sony Support about this and all they say is that the Game is not compatible with the system, which should not be the case and pretty much means that due to their setup they have greatly limited what you can and can not do with the Graphics card that the boast about. I hope they create an update soon to fix the outdated drivers because if not I just bought a very expensive table weight.
