This review is from: Sony VAIO VGN-FW448J/B 16.4-Inch Laptop - Black (Personal Computers)

great customer service. i used this laptop for 2 years. originally got this as a going away present to college. i used it all the time, lugging it to classes and taking notes on it. when i dropped it, there was a big ding in it. i called up the guys at fry's and they shipped my laptop back to sony's. i got a loaner for 90 days--which was a long time, yes. but i got an awesome laptop in the meantime.

all in all, the laptop has a huge screen and is great for watching shows on and writing essays on. it's just a joy and is sturdy enough for me. that's saying a lot, because i used to go through a laptop a year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Full HD, August 10, 2009

The review says that it is a Full HD display. As far as I know this would mean a resolution of 1920x1080.
Instead it has a max resolution of 1600x900. The description from Amazon is confusing and I didn't expect this from them.
Apart from this and the annoying assistants at startup (which you can'd disable), the VAIO is OK.

I bought it last fall, 2009 and it works flawlessly since then. Very stable, stylish (Mac style) and fast. Battery good for about 3 hrs (while streaming heavy HD video), will last longer for general use.
