Review Sony Vaio VGN-FW51MF Notebook

 

Rich in Minerals. Magnesium isn't only healthy as a trace element

Elegant magnesium case; Good input devices; High performance with good emissions; Display with a great black value and a good color representation

which is, however, unevenly illuminated; Design won't suit everyone; Much bloatware; Newest processor generation not (yet) available

Other efficient multimedia notebooks, like Acer's Aspire 5940 that also already has a Core i7. Even more configuration options are supplied by Dell's Studio XPS 16 or Schenker's MG6. If you'd like it a bit more mobile, you should take Sony's own...

Sony VAIO VGN-FW51ZF/H review

 

Powerful and has a great screen, making for an impressive, if expensive, laptop

Good screen ; Decent graphics ; Blu-ray drive

Connectivity ; A bit pricey

A Full HD laptop that handles games and HD video with ease but we can't help feel it is a tad expensive

Sony Vaio VGN-FW51MF

 

Fast, reliable, excellent graphics, is able to widstand heavy applications. Has had a few blue screens of death but they were all software related. Just be gentle with it and it wont give you any problems.

It randomly decides to forget about the motion eye driver and any logitech mouse in operation.... this has happened three times now since I first bought it... I still haven't been able to decipher the reason behind this... but a couple of resets to...

Sony Vaio VGN-FW51MF

 

the vaio is very fast, your not left waiting around for it to boot up or turn off.

the only one so far is the paint has worn off of the right hand button on mouse where my finger clicks it . only cosmetic but it is only 1 month old and has light use, well relatively.
