i really really … i really really hope they update the hardware to a Radeon 4670 before i buy this. Twice the number of stream processors as the 3670, all at a similar power draw!
It looks really … It looks really nice to be honest.
I must say Sony are great, and the screen technology is most definately the best in the world in my oppinion.
I have an old fe21s and after having a litre of some juice spilt over it and it being battered to death, it still runs like it did from day 1, (4 years ago baby!)
I would have got this if i didnt find the Advent 6555 for sale in uk, but now i regret buying the advent as its already broken
Also one more thing … Also one more thing.. Don’t believe the reviews that the Ati Radeon 3650 is not that great.. It is in fact an astonishing little graphics chip with 512MB of dedicated video memory, and it can hold its own, when settings are adjusted properly. I am very impressed with the whole setup. Much better than I expected for the price.. The original price is $1049, and I got it on sale for $899..
The 8GB memory … The 8GB memory upgrade will run about $320 and the Q9000 Quad Core chip is about $380.. So yes, I got a great deal on a great Laptop, and adding another $700 bucks to this laptop is well worth it.. The FPS are already great, increasing the memory will improve this, and adding 2 more cores will make this laptop a Legend in the Laptop World. I also read somewhere that the Sony Vaio’s can run Mac OS 10. Might dual boot it!
I recently … I recently purchased the Sony FW300, with the P8600 2.4GHZ @ 1066FSB, and memory is PC6400 @ 400MHZ.. It comes with the Ati Radeon 3650.. Let me be the first to tell you, that the FW300 can handle all new Games, and uses DirectX 10.1 folks! That’s right, 10.1, with shader model 4.1.. The Laptop is amazing. One of the best kept secrets Sony has produced.. The graphics are incredible. I plan to purchase a Q9000 at upgrade the memory to 8GB.. The Q9000 is Quad Core, and it will support it!
This laptop is alot … This laptop is alot cheaper, i got it a few months ago from Best Buy for 650 dollars and i really enjoy it. if you can find it at this price id get it.
The studio xps 16 … The studio xps 16 is better. The screen on the xps is a rgb 1080p led screen and alot of review sites say its the best laptop screen available. And the dell is very good looking aswell. It also has a better graphics card
Does anyone know … Does anyone know where you enter a sony coupon code when ordering online? They have a special promotion with the coupon code SPRING but i cant find where to submit it.
I’d say get the … I’d say get the sony. I can’t attest to dell build quality, but I’ve had a sony for ~3 years now and I’ve dropped it out of a moving car, from a desk, and several other places and it still works 100% ok
Maybe she meant … Maybe she meant that compared to dedicated home theater set ups don’t expect it to sound like one because the speakers are not that far apart.
“not quite stereo … “not quite stereo sound…” what is she talking about, so it’s not quite distinctive left and right audio channels? so it has 4 speaker onboard to emit monoraul sound? do your homework. it IS stereo sound and simulated surround sound. maybe not thx certified movie theater sound… but definitely stereo sound.
I’m stuck…Should … I’m stuck…Should i get this or the Studio XPS 16? The Vaio clearly is the better looking, but the Dell is much more cost effective and has better hardware for the price.
I really dont mean … I really dont mean to be mean here, but of course they in do. because of the amount of people who use PC’s, there are more viruses written for them then the Mac.
