Sony VAIO Fit 15 review (2013): Sony's mainstream notebooks get a makeover

Short battery life ; Narrow viewing angles ; Heavy compared to some competing models

Should you buy the VAIO Fit 15? It's tough to say conclusively, since we still don't know what other companies like HP and Toshiba are going to sell this summer. We do know this: the Fit 15 kicks off back-to-school season on a strong note. We applaud...

Sony VAIO Fit 15 Touch review: Great display, but lackluster performance and battery life

 

This hefty notebook has an excellent screen and plenty of storage space, but it delivers only mediocre performance and battery life.

Excellent and bright screen delivers very good color ; 750GB hard drive delivers ample storage ; Clean, attractive brushed-aluminum design

Lackluster battery life and overall performance ; Soft, squishy keyboard ; Off-center touchpad

There's an excellent screen and plenty of storage space on this hefty notebook, but it delivers only mediocre performance and battery life.
