While we can't do much about the fan whine (which may or may not be tolerable, depending on your point of view), we have it within us to fix the crucial problem: in its stock configuration, and probably even with any mechanical hard drive that has Sony's stock drive image, the VAIO S is far too slow. The biggest problem with the VAIO S is, ironically, Sony, and this is where enthusiasts come in. Even their pricing on the extra battery slice is good, for those of you that want to use your computer for twelve hours in one sitting. Plastic is kept to a minimum, too, and the whole notebook looks both stylish and professional. They've also opted for matte screens (someone out there is listening!) and they're one of the only consumer vendors that will provide a high resolution notebook screen. Sony's VAIO S offers tremendous battery life alongside a mainstream processor and a clunky but workable switchable graphics solution. Most of the upgrade costs on their site are fair, too they're not charging Apple prices on memory or hard drives. Sony has engineered a very small, light, and capable notebook for a reasonable price.
