Agreed. I bought a very expensive Sony VAIO Pro 13 4th Gen Core i5 8GB 256GB SSD 13.3 inch Full HD Windows 8 Pro Ultrabook in January 2014 for GBP1121.50. They manufactured them too thin and too light, so they were prone to motherboard damage, overheating and randomly switching off when picked up by one corner. Had to return it to Sony four times before they agreed to give me a partial refund (35%). Will never buy from Sony again.
Have now bought an APPLE MACBOOK AIR 13", EARLY 2014, i7 1.7GHZ CPU, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD, SIERRA OS for GBP700 off Ebay and never looked back. Much more sturdy construction and battery life is excellent. Wish I'd gone with the Air in the first place!
