NotebookReview has a comprehensive review of the Sony’s VAIO FW. Priced at $2,149, the laptop features a 16.4 inch LCD screen (1600 x 900), Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6MB Cache) with 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon 3470, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD (5400rpm), Wi-Fi and webcam. Other specs are include 4400mAh Li-Ion Battery. The new Sony VAIO FW measures 15.12inch x 1.14inch x 10.27inch and weights 3.1kg. Here is a verdict.
System performance is one category that this notebook really shines. Even with a 5400rpm hard drive, the notebook performed quite well throughout various activities including watching Blu-ray movies, playing a few games, and installing applications. The Intel Centrino 2 platform no doubt had a hand in this, and gave us some impressive performance benchmarks. PCMark05 was into the 6,000 range and 3DMark06 was around 2,600.
