Performance
But while this mix of innovation and quality isn't cheap, it's a combination that also makes this particular VAIO an unparalleled success. The dual-SSD design is both pioneering and practical, and the RGB LED screen is the best in the business. The rest of the VAIO is just as good, combining impeccable style with awesome power and almost every feature you could conceivably need. It may cost £2,157 before VAT but, if money is no object, this is one of the best desktop replacements around.
