Sony :: FW 490- FULLhd
Jul 27, 2009
I've ordered a Sony FW-490 CTO off of the Sony Style website, after reading about the problems with the full hd screen and text size problems I began to worry if I made a mistake by getting the FULLhd rather than the eco, as I am using this computer for casual gaming, school work and occasional photoshop (learning)
If I have a problem with the FULLhd would I beable to send my Computer back and get another laptop with the same specs but the ECO screen?
My CTO is configured like this:

Been searching for pics and can't find any. I want to see how big the text/icons are on a fullHD screen.

I am thinking about getting FW390 CTO. How does regular font look like on FW390 with XBRITE-FullHD 1920x1080? If you use Word or Excel in this resolution does it look too small?
I currently use 22" with 1680x1050 resolution and font looks good to me. I cannot imagine fonts on 16" with 1920x1080 resolution.

I was asking about the difference between XBRITE-ECO and XBRITE-FullHD. To my surprise, the rep told me the XBRITE-FullHD is LED backlit (which I think it's not true). I ask her to confirm that and she came back with the same answer.

I am about to order a Sony Vaio FW490, and I would like to know how much of a difference visually that these 2 screens are. I know that the FullHD obviously looks better, but how much better exactly? And is it worth the extra $100 or so?
I have yet to see a FullHD screen at the Best Buy near me so it is difficult for me to compare the two. I have also heard that the FullHD screen is not adequate for gaming. Is this true? I am not a hardcore gamer by any means, but I did plan on playing some of my new games like Street Fighter 4 occasionally. In addition, a 1920x1080 resolution does seem quite large for a 16.4" screen. Can anybody provide some sort of screenshot of the FullHD screen?

I've been looking at the VGN-FW460J/T at Fry's Electronics and I would to know if this is a good notebook? I really don't care about the new i7's that are coming out, because I planning to get one sometime next year when they reach at a least 2.0GHz and at an affordable cost.

having a hard time deciding between these two. I think in the end it'll come down to which screen size I like better.
But anyway, I was reading the review on the CS here and it says the battery lasted just under 4 hours but there's a higher capacity battery.

I lose about 5~10% of my battery life in a 12 hour period after shutting down my computer and unplugging it from the wall.
Anyone else experiencing something similar? No one else has brought it up for this new Z so I was wondering if I'm just a minority (granted the laptop is new and not many people have it yet)

I am in Shanghai and went to demo a new Vaio Z at a local SonyStyle store with a 3.06GHz CPU and Dual SSDs raided. The unit had Vista 64bit and 8GB of RAM... surprisingly though, no BluRay just a DVD Burner... go figure...
I tried to have someone explain to me if the design of the Z was changed because on my Z (model VGG-Z27GN) internally there is only space for one 2.5" drive (and nothing else really).
If the new Z's can accommodate 2 HDs inside, some major internal redesign had to be made. Does anyone know if this is the case or if maybe Sony is using some sort of two 1.8" Drives instead that they RAID together

My boss is looking to change his VAIO-TZ laptop to the VAIO-TT model. The one issue he is concerned with is the performance.
His current VAIO is very slow when he has outlook and a couple of more apps open (nothing heavy though). It is 1.2GHz as is the TT model

I'm going to buy a FW-390 tomorrow morning and I want to know if the Full HD Screen is necessary or not.
I have heard that the X-Brite Eco's back lighting is uneven so some parts of the screen are dimmer than others which is simply unacceptable.
On the other hand I have heard complaints regarding the Full HD about the fonts being too small due to the resolution being too high on such a small screen ....

Is the Sony F LCD screen the same as the Dell XPS16?
At one time the Sony F was listed as an "RGBLED", same as Dell XPS16. They are also the same size/resolution.
I ask, because, I was at Best Buy this past weekend, and I found that the screen was very washed out looking. I confirmed it was resolution 1920, so it was surely their "Premium" LCD. Every review I read seemed to suggest the RGBLED of the Dell XPS16 was bright (almost obnoxiously so) and colorful. This F Model I reviewed truly did seem pale compared to other nearby monitors.

I am considering buying a secondhand notebook, Vaio VGN-TZ72b. It's gorgeous! All I would get are the notebook and its adapter. The guy bought it from Japan. These are all he has with him now.
BUT, I wonder if I would have a problem with drivers in the future when I clean-install it.
I heard every Vaio has a sort of recovery system that frees you from all concern about drivers

I have a few questions for those with the FW. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I do occasionally play Warhammer Online, which is a little more graphically dependent that WoW.
My question is with my current specs, will my machine be able to handle it on low-mid range settings?
I also do not plan to order this RIG until sometime in March, are there any chances there will be so upgrades to it by that point .....

I seem to be having a few problems with my wi-fi connection at home.
Up until yesterday it was working fine and i was getting great dl speeds and surfing without any problems. So all of a sudden the connection died out.
Normally i reset the connection and all is well. Well i tried that and no luck.
When i clicked to look for a network connection, nothing happens.
I click refresh and nothing happens. I did switch off the wireless button and turn it back on and restarted the laptop.
But i am still unable to get a connection. The router is fine as other laptops in the house seem to get a connection without any problems.

I cannot see any real difference between these 2. I found a great deal on the FW 260 here and with similar features the FW 390 is pricing much higher.
