Z Series FTW! It is so porabale and compact and very, very, fst and powerful! FW is good to, as a matter a fact all Vaios are great! The first thing that gets your attenion from afar is how elegant and different there designs are. Next, is how nice there screens are! It being a sony you get very nice hardware.
This is what I am buying the FW series. Great bang for the buck. I configured the same exact specs on Dell XPS 16 and it came up to $1500 as opposed to Sony FW590 for $1200. Cha-ching, DELL what are you doing???
the FW290 series was just launched recently, it sports a Radeon HD 3650 and 512mb VRAM, unfortunately its not listed on the Canadian website yet, only the American one. :(
I'm planning to get one soon but I want 1366X768 with 256MB vram? 1600X900 would be too small for my eyes. Since I could't find any 1600X900 to try in my local sonystyle I need to ask you guys.. will I able to change the resolution to 1366X768 if I get it. what should I do?
yeap, I saw the z590 on display, fonts are tooo small. Fortunately, I found z555 on the Canadian sonystyle which has 256mb vram and 1366X768. Thats exactly what I'm looking for. I hope they ship to US. anyway thanks born
Just wanted to add. I saw the prototype model in Sony Style Paragon in Singapore - they have it proudly on display there.
The screen is SO dangerously thin that on that criteria alone I am very scared to buy it. They say the carbon fiber is strong - yes - but the screen is so it flexes like crazy when u close it by one corner, and if you dare knock the screen when the lid is open, id fear is would shatter!
Laptops hit Sony Style shops in Singapore 10th of September!
This isn't a gaming laptop. It's for entertainment, the gfx card provided from ATI is more than enough to cover the BluRay quality discs and supports the 1600x900 screen resolution. If you want a gaming laptop, get XPS or a high end 17" laptop. I'm personally getting the card just because it's more reliable than the GMA. If the GMA were to get fried, the whole motherboard goes.
Oh, you ment the FW? Well any Sony laptop above 13.3 inches isn't worth getting imo. They've got great portables, but anything bigger is underpowered and overpriced.
the specifications of the macbook air are nothing compared to this. the air is simply thin, no performance; just a looker. this is thin, cutting edge performance, and a looker.
@fallencmd yes i do know what im talking about, cuz i have one. Good laptops. Like I said before.

011001101 3 years ago
i got the 1600x900. The only thing you can do it adjust the DPI setting to make the fonts bigger. However, it doesnt seem to effect all fonts.
the 1600x900 is VERY small, I have 20/20 vision, but its a real strain on my eyes.

I think only down side is GFX. ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470 with 256 mb. Can this GFX be better than nVidia 8600m GS? Try to answer quick guys.

From what I've been seeing it's faster than the 8400 gt. My guess is it's just on par or slightly under the 8600 gs.
jonno6590 3 years ago
actually the vaio z uses a dual graphics card system:
NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS GPU with 860-1500MB total available graphics memory
Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with Intel® Clear Video
128 - 256MB of dedicated video RAM
Hybrid Graphics System
Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset
and the vaio fw:
Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with Intel Clear Video technology with 1340MB (max) total available graphics memory
Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset
HDMI and VGA out

You are correct with the Z but, the FW actually has an option for the HD 3470.
