4.0 out of 5 stars Sony Vaio VGN-FW230J, January 1, 2009
By Tab (SF Bay Area USA) - See all my reviews
Media-oriented, the Sony FW-series notebooks feature a 16.4 inch display and decent internal speakers (for internal speakers). Some FW-series models sport a Blu-ray drive and bluetooth; standard features include a/b/g/n wifi, SD and Sony memory stick readers, and three USB ports. My second Sony laptop, I have been happy with this latest acquisition.

That said, the included Sony software continues to be presented in a kludgy fashion (especially if compared to Apple's efforts) and overall use does not match the thoughtful design of Sony hardware...correspondingly, their USA website is not the easiest to navigate should you seek additional support.

Another well-styled laptop, Sony computers typically command a premium price compared to other more utilitarian hardware. There are a myriad of models in the FW-series and therefore some comparison shopping is warranted to get the best price and feature set.
