Sony Vaio VPC-J21L8E

Beautiful, fast (i5)

no HDMI output

ease of use

no automatic update provided for Windows 8

All in one with adequate conections. Brilliant Sony Care feature.

Keyboard for typing is terribe - why are there no Sony alternatives?

Nice big screen, which is easy for the eyes. The key board is user friendly as well. The sound output is good enough and there is no real need for extra speakers.

Not as fast as I would like with wireless internet, although it connects easily to start with.

Quality monitor that I need for photo editing with photoshop. Runs several applications together seamlessly.

Not the cheapest. Cant find a spare key for one that has broken on my keyboard

All-in-one packge significantly reduces interconnection and cabling requirements, and enhances portability.

Graphics engine and driver substantially reduces the overall system perfomance. Both should be replaced by an Nvida GeForce solution.

Large screen is good for viewing and editing pictures and I feel produces far less eye strain, wireless keyboard and mouse makes for ease of use when typing and using mouse for selection.

A few more usb ports would have been useful.

Compact design, quality build, minimum of wires as almost all connections now wireless.

Would have preferred USB ports etc at the front but this is a minor point.
