Review Sony Vaio VPC-F21Z1E/BI 3D Notebook

 

3D Vaio. Sony Vaio's leap into the 3D world gives reason for exci

Big Color Space; Large Viewing Angles; Anti-Glare Screen; Very High Screen Brightness; 240Hz 3D Display with Active Shutter Glasses; Easy-to-Use 3D for Blu-Rays and Games; Good Gaming Performance WITHOUT 3D; Great Application Performance; Low Case...

Poor Gaming Performance WITH 3D; Loud Under Heavy Use; Sensitive High-Gloss Case; Flimsy Display Lid; Placement of Ports

Acer Aspire 5745DG: starting at 700 Euro, but little GPU power; Asus G73SW: higher contrast, GTX 460M; HP Envy 17-1190eg: vivid color screen; Dell XPS 17 3D; Alienware M17x R3 3D: quiet and cool to the touch.

Sony Vaio VPCF21Z1E 16in laptop

 

Review Imagine my joy when asked to try out a 3D entertainment centre built into a Sony Vaio notebook. Imagine my disappointment, then, when I discover that the notebook in question is actually too big to fit in my notebook bag.

Overall, I was happy with performance of the Sony Vaio VPCF21Z1E/BI, it's pretty damn good but not great. Yet compared to others in this class that Reg Hardware has tested lately, it seems Sony makes you pay for that extra performance.
