The new Vaio FW series, with 16.4” display screen, Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 processor, a whopping 4GB RAM and mammoth big 320GB HDD is the good thing that comes in a small package with stylish sleek design that turns heads. The Sony Blu-ray techonology gives it the edge over other competitors.
Design, Keyboard and Mouse
A glossy silver body with chiclet keyboard makes it look nothing less than a Macbook. The clean design allows a lot of free space over the base and adds to the charm of the glossy looks the laptop carries. The black lid and lack of number pad disappoints but the over smooth look compensates. The multimedia buttons give a fast and easy access to a wide range of functions.
Connectivity
In addition to the usual hardware, i.e., card reader, audio in/out, 3 USBs and Bluetooth etc, it comes with a HDMI port, lifeline for any HTC and I Link S400.
Performance and Conclusion
The laptop’s a compact multimedia genius with its blue-ray vantage technology, it makes the cult but the battery back and weight disappoints. It’s a beautiful laptop overall, with Sony brand name ofcourse.
