Well, the volume of the speakers is very low. But that is with all the VAIOs. The touchpad is textured, and it is a matter of taste. Some people like it, others don't. However when I tried it once at a VAIO store, I found it a bit jittery. Apart from that, no other problems. The FHD display is very nice, and so is the backlit keyboard. Though it is not a powerhouse in terms of performance, but it will suffice for general day-to-day needs. Just don't expect heavy gaming on maximum settings though.

if you want to send data to your mobile using bluetooth 4.0 range and speed you should have a bluetooth 4.0 enabled mobile

Yeah, 2430M is obviously better than 2410M, mainly turbo boost wise.
2410-(2.3 to 2.9)
2430-(2.4 to 3.0)

Bluetooth 4.0 is the latest version to be incorporated in some health devies followed by apple, then finally sony. Unlike regular Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, the low-energy part of the 4.0 specification allows devices to communicate using almost no power. Check this Bluetooth low energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also.
The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol
