    Comments about Sony VAIO FW Series Titanium Notebook Computer:

    I am very pleased with this laptop. In fact this is the second I own (my wife uses a FW270) and I just purchased another VAIO (FW490) for my daughter. I loaded the RC of Windows 7 and eagerly anticipate receiving the full version. The PC is about the fastest I have used from power off to desktop ready to use. The keyboard is fantastic. I use a bluetooth mouse and the built in bluetooth is great. This PC connects to my router quickly, although this is due to Win 7 as much as the PC. I would highly recommend the VAIO FW models.

    Definitely Worth Getting

    By AceOfSpades678

    from Undisclosed

    Comments about Sony VAIO FW Series Titanium Notebook Computer:

    I wont say this is a PERFECT laptop, as no laptop actually is, but i will say I'm glad i chose this over all other ones. First of all, i couldnt understand the complaints that people have about the speakers. They provide alot of volume, and the sound isnt bad for a laptop.
    I like the keyboard's pebble design, its a nice styling point. The only problem with the system was that all 3 usb ports are placed at the front right... which means the mouse, the printer, and a usb storage device could stick out from there all at the same time (could get alittle cluttered, right?).
    Another thing i liked about the system. The volume/AV controls are actual buttons instead of the electrostatic ones on other "premium" laptops. I've always had problems with spazzy touch-sensitive ones, so im happy with these almost-retro style buttons.
    The battery life was stated to be upwards of 4 hours, but because of the core clock and the good graphics core, the system maxes out at 3 hours. Its still not too bad.
    Overall im impressed with the system. Sure, when you compare with laptops from asus or acer, the vaio may seem expensive, but it is cheaper than hp, dell, and toshiba with similar specs/styles. The FW was worth every penny.

    My First Laptop

    By THOTH

    from Houston, TX

    Comments about Sony VAIO FW Series Titanium Notebook Computer:

    This is very good laptop indeed. Software problem is doable, so I don't care about them. The disk drive is some times squeaking wich is destarbing if you seating in a very quiet room. And it appears only when HDD does something very hard... I actually don't care, but it was surprisable... The HDD themself works very quiet and the temperature from the cooling system is not big at all... The keyboard is very cool as well as the design... The other good thing is auto subscribtion to the W7 wich is very cool... At the all of everything I say that you have to stop your choise on this model :-).

    Thanks to SONY!

    VAIO IS OK

    By ANDYANDHISVAIO

    from Undisclosed

    Comments about Sony VAIO FW Series Titanium Notebook Computer:

    I have a Sony vaio laptop, it has performed quite well overall. Apart from the nightmare of removing so much junk software which no doubt sony are affiliated and profiting from. You can also pay sony to remove this software! The vaio does not come with a recovery disc and this will also set you back $50+. The lap top is ok, it's just disappointing that sony are not thinking of their customers just the bottom line.

    In addition, windows media player has never worked.
