The Reliability Monitor, shown here, captures even the most minor flaws and incorporates them into an overall reliability score. In this case, each "critical event" was a momentary glitch in a browser tab or in the video driver that repaired itself in less than a second. The big drop in the stability index doesn't reflect its real-world performance.

If you right-click a problem report and choose Technical Details, you can see a display of additional information like this one. Mostly, this level of debugging detail is of use to developers only, but in some cases it might pinpoint a browser add-in or a plug-in that is the source of problems.

The original plan for this machine was to use it as a living room Media Center box, complete with built-in Blu-ray drive. But the underpowered Intel graphics made that plan a non-starter. As a desktop PC driving a single flat-screen monitor, its performance is more than adequate.

If you try to play a Blu-ray disk on this machine, this error message is what you get. The problem is the generic Microsoft-supplied video driver, which doesn't support HDCP. Updating the video driver to the latest Intel release solves this problem.

If you were making decisions based solely on numbers, you wouldn't choose this Sony VAIO. But in the real world, its performance is more than acceptable. At just over two pounds with typical battery life in the 8-hour range, it's a great traveling companion.
