[munawar1989]

Thanks for letting me know:)

A.K.A Gadgets downloading from there over the browser and installing them.

[munawar1989]

hey from where do u get those widgets of all cores showing the % of usage?On the main screen let me know plz?Reply soon

[randomtandem369]

@munawar1989 You can find the widgets (a.k.a. Gadgets) on the Microsoft Windows Gadget Gallery.

Some are meant for Vista mainly but can work or be made to work on Windows 7.

Some are provided and vouched for by Microsoft. Some are made and added by other users/programmers.

Enjoy.

I have got a question concerning the keyboard. Is the backlit keyboard an option that you have to pay for additionally or is it standard?

[randomtandem369]

@flori114 On some models it is standard, if you are in a store pick the one with the backlight. A great option is to go to sonystyle website and customize the laptop to your exact specifications, like I did.

You can customize everything from Backlight, HD size/rpm, RAM, Graphics Card, Monitor Resolution, and Free Engraving of the monitor housing.

Enjoy.

What one is better for graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 GPU (1GB VRAM) or NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 425M GPU (1GB VRAM)?

[randomtandem369]

@LuxuriousLuxembourg I wish I could say, one way or another.

Personally I would go with the GT 425M.

Good luck.

I also own a F Series (US), is a black F115 with backlit =)

It works great, I can run heavy games like crysis in high setting with good fps.

I can also render large scenes with 3ds max in a shorter time due to the amazing core i7 and its 6mb of cache...

[randomtandem369]

@KoeniggseggCCX Good to know.

I play Crysis on mine also.

Faster rendering for images and videos, thanks to multiple cores and hyperthreading.

Take it easy and enjoy.

wtf..i just bought a self configurated mega f series but no fuckin standard backlit? none for europe..wat the is this? why?

[BarcaBosch]

that Backlit Keyboard is not on all F series models is it?

[randomtandem369]

@BarcaBosch no it's not on all f series units, i upgraded it....

Or if u get one from a store make sure in the specs. They were going for around 1199.99 or even 1499 for the fully upgraded ones. Hopefully cheaper now.

Best to order from Sony website. Cheaper.

Sony VAIO F13S8E (16,4"/i7-740QM/4GB/500GB/Blu Ray/GT425M1g)?

[CarlosRapBoy]

@emin257

No you can't play it on max. but you can play it on 1080p on Medium 20 fps, it's very good for a laptop.

[CROCKETT984]

[randomtandem369]

@CROCKETT984 - It's called Il Mondo che vorrei its a Base strumentale Cori...

It was selected on YouTube AudioSwap. Good way to avoid copyright infringement.

[randomtandem369]

@RobGordon07 - It's called Il Mondo che vorrei its a Base strumentale Cori...

It's pretty cool yep. Selected on YouTube. You in the market for a sony laptop?

My other video is a monitor comparison (reflection/glare) thanks for the comment!

[lay4life]

Is this EU or US version???

[srwilli4m]

@lay4life US version, we have a legitimate enter key.

[randomtandem369]

@srwilli4m Thanks. The keyboard is a nice as you can imagine... the keys are soft and responsive, including the enter key. I'm not on it now but I wish I was. At least this keyboard is lit too. Thanks for the comment.

[randomtandem369]

also GPU monitor for graphics info... Coretemp gadget needs coretemp program running to work.

good luck with the fun tools

[goaliejoe01]

@randomtandem369

Thanks for the info. Do you also have the intel turbo boost gadget? That's my favorite. It displays the current speed of your proccessor, and it's really funny to watch.

I forgot to say that I also own this laptop, but an other version (biggest difference is a EU premium matte screen).

I did test it to it's limits (gaming, running benchmarks, etc), and what amazes me the most: it stays cool all the time. My maximum cpu temp is 60 c, and arround 70 c for the gpu.

[randomtandem369]

@goaliejoe01 hey where's the intel turbo boost gadget? I saw it one time, failed to act on it. Now I can't find it. What shall I type in the search or how should I navigate the page?

[goaliejoe01]

@randomtandem369 You can find the gadget on intels website at the download section.

[randomtandem369]

hey goalie joe...

go to website for 'windows sidebar gadgets' and get all the cool utilities. I must have 10 of thse cool tools. All CPU meter, network meter, top process, all of these are cool. Some gadgets are not official but they work fine!

[goaliejoe01]

Where did you get the core monitoring/temperature sidebar gadget?

Thanks for the video!
