The top cover has been coated with an acrylic-like material and painted with fluorescent colors. Just the slightest light on surface and is like a Christmas tree lol Starting price at $749 I think they are quite attractive, and as I can understand are quite solid. Do not know how powerful it is for games, but in some videos I've seen running new games with relative ease, like GTA IV, Crysis 2, Mafia 2, etc Mafia 2 HD Benchmark: Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 1080p Benchmark Lost Planet 2 1080p Benchmark Crysis 2 - Video Recording Test Devil May Cry 4 1080p Benchmark Left 4 Dead 2 1080p Benchmark EDIT: Official Manuals (Model VPCCA) PDFs: Care and Handling of Your VAIO Computer Quick Start Guide Safety Information User Guide VPCCA Series Hard Disk Replacement Instructions VPCCA Series Optical Disk Drive Replacement Instructions How to change the memory and hard drive in a Sony Vaio VPCCA - Kingston PnP 8GB 1866 memory and a 128GB V100 SSD Kingston PnP 8GB 1866 SODIMM & 128GB V100 SSD Sony Vaio VPCCA Upgrade & Review
