I have had my V505 for about 6 months now. I have persistent problems with the touch pad as so many have noted here. But I also have problems with the space bar not registering a touch on the right end of the bar so words run on without spaces if you use your right thumb to type the space bar.
Another frequently occuring and annoying problem is the cursor randomly jumps to odd places in a document so I find myself typing in the middle of a sentence two lines above or some where else than where it should be.
Some days I hate this computer. I wish I had bought a IBM T40.

I bought this notebook. At first it seemed to me fabulousbut then I discovered it has hardware problems with thetouchpad like explained by other reviewers: touchpad clicking continuoslyon its own , going up, down etc..Sony should do something about this, as most of v505 ownershave this kind of problems !Also I found the case is of bad quality, just plastic.Don't trust pictures and go touch goods before buying.

A great notebook with the right balance of capability, size and weight. Perfect for travel even though I am happy using it as my main machine at my home office.Compared to other notebooks of this size (such as Apple PowerBook 12") heat generation is not a problem, even with some heavy use of Photoshop.
