Sony VAIO F Series Preview Fly-by

This is my Sony VAIO F ordered from the sonystyle website.
I have experienced absolutely NO overheating, buzzing, hissing, squeaking, crackling or any other issues to be concerned about. Zero problems with the microphone feedback (purportedly fixed by Sony).
Apologies for the bad video quality due to necessary file conversions and dark lighting, also this video was captured using the Palm Pre video application.

Quick specs:
Intel i7 Quad-Core processor 1.74 Ghz (w/Turbo-boost - 3.03 Ghz) Win7
8GB DDR3 RAM
500GB HD (7200rpm)
Nvidia GeForce GT330M graphics (1GB)
16.4" Premium Display (1920x1080) Full HD
Backlit Keyboard w/Num-pad
Webcam/Microphone/Bluetooth
Ambient Light Sensor

I have played games and watched Full HD movies, yet so far I have only used this desktop replacing laptop up to 35-40% of it's capabilities.

Please enjoy.

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.

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.

[munawar1989]

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

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

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

Personally I would go with the GT 425M.

Good luck.
