Before buying this laptop, I was using some other brands. So its easy for me to compare and justify the performance & functionality of Sony Vaio FE660G laptop. I am really surprised to see how beautifully this laptop have all ports arranged...you will never feel inconvinient while using them.

Its slim shape, black & white combination gives it sexy look. It has ultimate sound quality. I have never heard such crystal clear sound in any laptop before. The display is good too. It makes you feel like home theater. The inbuilt wireless lan card speed is as good as direct lan connection. The memory card adapter & memory stick slot makes it complete multimedia support system.

The only thing I can find missing in this laptop is the inbuilt camera support. Rests so far it is keeping me happy all the time!!!

Have not yet written to the DVD, but all other functions work well. As expected, I had to spend fair amount of time updating Operating System.

It was a well choice to buy this product through Amazon web site. i'm very happy!

I just received my made-to-order FE790 and am overall pretty happy. Great design, nice looking, good battery life, gorgeous screen and fast T7200 core 2 duo proc make this a joy to use. Graphics by Nvidia's Go 7600 are great for gaming, often a tough task for a notebook, but one I demand.

Complaints? Wireless performance is not as good as my 2 year old Dell Inspiron 6000D, even though they both use the same built-in Intel Pro wireless card. Support is pretty bad also, drivers on Sony's website are a mess, with the current webcam driver listed under my model being the completely wrong one. The amount of pre-installed bloatware that was on my notebook when I received it was absolutely obnoxious. Last, Sony does not supply CD/DVD reinstall disks like Dell. The restore files (along with all the unwanted software) are hidden in a 5gb partition that is annoying to access and use should the need to reinstall ever arise.

Sony was one of the very few manufacturer's that offered the hardware combination that I needed, and they did so for a surprisingly fair price considering their reputation as expensinve. I would heartily recommend this notebook but would also suggest looking around at other manufacturers as the Core 2 Duo market opens up and more models become available.
