This review is from: Sony VAIO VGN-FW370J/H 16.4-Inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Blu-ray Drive, Vista Premium) Gray (Personal Computers)

From the moment I opened up the box and pulled out this laptop I was amazed. Aesthetically the laptop is very beautiful, has a sleek and streamlined feel to it, yet it does not give off the feeling that anything has been compromised or removed in order to give it that "streamlined" look.

The screen is the perfect size, not too big or not too small, however if you are used to smaller laptops this thing is a behemoth - of course in a good way. The picture is crystal clear, has stunning visuals, a diverse assortment of extremely vivid and vibrant colors, and the widescreen complements the perfect visuals of the laptop and is particularly beneficial when watching movies or doing just about anything. The Blu-ray Disc is also a HUGE plus. Instead of having to go out and spend hundreds on a Blu-Ray Disc player, this laptop provides you with one and ports to connect to your television if you want.

Concerning the sound and audio, it is very clear, pristine, and makes you feel like you are in a theatre. Nevertheless, I do agree with the first reviewer it is relatively quiet at full settings - however it never compromises the quality of the sound no matter how loud or quiet it gets.

Among other things, one of my absolute favorite features about this laptop is the keyboard. All the keys are widely spaced, and as someone who spends countless numbers of hours typing, this thing is a dream. With other laptops I always have to look at the keyboard while typing to make sure I do not accidentally type the wrong letter. However, with this laptop, I never have to look at the keyboard and be concerned with typing in the wrong letter. Not once have I made a typo on this review or any other document I have written so far.

Individually analyzing all the aspects of this laptop will take too long and will be a hard read. For that you can just read the overview of this product on its homepage. I am reviewing this product as someone who has the laptop, knows the "inside information," and all of its familiarities.

Again, I am no expert on laptops, their technical capabilities, etc.; however I can say with supreme confidence that every aspect and every dimension of this laptop is probably the best out there and has exceeded all my expectations.

Great Deal, Great Buy, Excellent Laptop.

Ok, I just got this laptop from amazon two days ago and so far i really like it.
It has a nice size and the screen looks neat but its not heavy like other computers the same size.
The only cons I can say so far are that the area next to the mousepad kinda heats a little too much so its a little unconfortable to use for long periods, but its not like burning hot. The batery life isnt THAT long either, it said 2 to 5 hours but mine works for almost 3 hours, which aint horrible, but it also aint 4 hours.
The sound is pretty neat, but not loud.
mmmm, overall im pretty happy witht he laptop and I think it's a pretty good deal for the money I payed for it.

I am a college student, obviously purchased this for college, and it is awesome, im acutally writing this review on this computer right now, haha...anyways, other then the graphics card, this was an awsome purchase...sony and microsoft are great for support accessibility... the computer delievers awesome speed, and now with windows 7 its even faster..the processor is above average for most laptops, and the 4gb of RAM is also a great perk. The computer is good looking, lightweight(all around good for mobility) quick and easy to set up or pack up.. fast startup nice layout of buttons and keyboard..responsive...and ABOVE ALL DEPENDABLE!
Thanks alot!
