Sony VAIO(R) VPCZ128GX/B 13.1" Z Series Notebook PC - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought Vaio VPCZ118 similar but with HD 256GB (SDD) and 4GB DDR3 and windows 7 pro. The laptop is generally magnificent,
Pros:
very fast, very few system errors, can move 1GB within the hard disk in few seconds. Searching in a MS outlook folder of 6000 emails folder takes no more than 2 seconds, that used to take around one minute in a regular PC. I tried the battery once and it lasted 3 hours while using bright screen with videos and office applications. Auto-adjust screen brightness. Keyboard buttons lights at the night is magnificent while working before sleep.
Cons:
The standard AntiVirus system McAfee made the system slow but improved after I removed it and installed ESET internet Security.
Speakers volume is low and lacks bass, too sharp.
The arrow-buttons don't function smoothly and need to press it harder than other buttons to guarantee the response.

Sony VAIO VPC-F13UFX/B 16.4-Inch Widescreen Entertainment Laptop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's my third week with this machine and I like it a lot.
Here is why. Reasonable priced with cutting edge technology
installed. Full HD screen, back-lid keyboard for night typing
like on Macs, HDMI connector, intel i7 processor were the main features
I was after. I was pleasantly surprised with quality of keyboard,
it's again almost like on mac computers, very quite and soft.
Great feeling when typing. Personally I preferred i7 over i5 because of hyper
threading. Although this a quad core i7 appears on Windows like 8 cores so multitasking
is a blast. I use this laptop as multimedia and software server, basically it replaces
my old desktop but it is not heavy at all so it can be carry easily.
Anyway for now no problems whatsoever and I can recommend it.

Sony VAIO VPCF136FX/B 16.4" F Series Laptop (1.73GHz Intel Core i7-740QM Processor, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB Hard Drive, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sony VAIO f136 fx was not my first choice, but am glad I got it.
I was looking for a new machine to replace my HP6226 for doing 3D animation
(using Carrara, VUE, Cinema4d)
Almost got the ASUS G73JW-XA1, but bought the Sony from Fry's (same price as Amazon, but
already had an account to get the 0% 6mos financing)...Caution: just applying for a new
card, eg Bill Me Later, can lower your credit score.
The ASUS has more room for ram, 2 HD's, and a better graphics card, but is also heavier,
and a little too "gamey" looking.
Although the Sony was my 2nd choice, I'm very happy with it so far. BTW, the only other machine I'd get
now would be the HP Envy 17-1181nr.
I could still return the Sony, but would get hit with a 15% restocking fee.
The HP Envy has a better graphics card, bigger screen, better resolution, better sound quality,
and more durable exterior. But it's also a 1 lb heavier...a lot to lug around and the cpu is slightly slower.
That said, this is why I am happy & will keep the Sony:
1. i7-740qm cpu...hyper-threads when rendering.
2. nice screen...1600x900, 16.4" diagonal...a good size for me.
3. back-lit keyboard...good to type on...has a good feel to it.
4. very quiet (only noticible when it revs up in auto-over-clocking mode when rendering an animation)
5. good looks
6. Sony quality
7. seems lighter than it is.
Cons (minor criticisms)
1. the left/right "click" buttons on the keypad actually click...aren't smooth like the
alpha/numerics...would have liked them to be right of center vs left, too.
2. The finish is very stylish...a dull dark grey with the VAIO logo...but is easily
marred...in contrast, the HP Envy has an embossed surface that should look good much longer.
I'll just have to be more careful.
All in all, the Sony VAIO F136fx is a great laptop that should last me at least 3 yrs.
BTW, my HP Pavilion 6226 is still working amazingly well...it was only $700, and will still use
it as a backup, and for rendering parts of an animation.
But the Sony is 3-4x faster and will save me a lot of time.
Plan to add 2 more gb ram (8 total), and replace the HD with an Solid-state drive
down the road. But it's working great as is.
I still give it 5 stars. =)

Sony VAIO VPC-F13YFX/H 16.4-Inch Widescreen Entertainment Laptop (Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In general i had like sony products, but this computer is really dissapointing:
when you pay $1,000+ for a notebook you expect to get top-of-the-notch equipment, not true:
1. battery lasting 1.5 - 1 hours (without playing dvd).
2. i can not send the computer to "hibernate", it freeze the system and you have to reboot.
3. slow. i was expecting from an I7 intel and 6 mb of ram a LIGHTNING speed NOOOOOOOOOO. My old sony vaio of I3 with 4 mb of ram run faster.
4. Everything takes forever with this computer. opening outlook, opening excel, reading on adobe, etc, etc, etc.
In summary, nice computer (outside), crappy performance (inside) DO NOT BUY.
Thanks

Sony VAIO(R) VPCF13SFX/B Signature Series 16.4" Notebook PC - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We recently purchased this laptop to serve as a portable gaming machine. Also, was waiting for one with USB 3.0, which this one has. There is very little to complain about with this model. It's fast with a great screen display. I will list a few nit picks here. Screen in bright lights is a bit glary while gaming. It does get warm but not hot, I would recommend one of the laptop fan units to place under it. I'm not a fan of the mouse drag on any laptop so an external mouse was a must for me, as was a headset (built in speakers are a bit bright sounding and bass shy). Battery life is good unless into heavy gaming but I usually use the external power anyway. Since it is a gaming rig, all other functions run very smooth; movies, live video, favorite TV shows, etc. Oh yeah, the keyboard has one of the nicest feels of all I tried and the matt finish does not show up finger prints. I probably should have given this 5 stars but I am a bit tight on my recommendations.
Having said that, this model is highly recommended.
