Sony VAIO FW Series VGN-FW463J

If you’re someone who must own everything Sony then you’re stuck with the VAIO series when it comes to computers. There’s nothing wrong with that, as you can find a solid VAIO system out there. It’s just realizing where to look. Today, we’re going to take a look at one of the latest models: Sony VAIO FW Series VGN-FW463J/T NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P8700

Specs

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P8700(2.53GHz)

RAM: 4GB DDR2

Hard Drive: 320GB

Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650

USB Slots: 3

The Good: A strong performing notebook for it’s ‘Sony’ price. If you’re transporting the notebook around, you’ll enjoy the lightweight feel. As with most Sony products, this VAIO has a strong design and if you’re a fan of VAIO design you’ll feel right at home here. Has a large keyboard, that feels comfortable while not feeling too bulky. A solid monitor that produces a bright, and wide array of colors.

The Bad: As with Sony products, you’re paying much more than something of equal strength from another brand. The touchpad can’t be deactivated, and it’s not multi-touch. The VAIO applications are a bit spotty, and don’t add anything to the user experience. The three USB ports might be “enough”, but they’re placed oddly. They’re all on one side, and are packed close together.

Bottom Line: If you’re a Sony fanboy/girl then you’ll find a solid VAIO product here. It’s expensive for what you’re getting, but it’s still a solid notebook. The design is a huge plus that provides comfortable usability, starting with the keyboard.
