Which series is better? The B series is for business. This series is only 5.9lbs with 15.4'. On the other hand, the CW series is around 5.5 lbs and it is only 14'. What do you think? Have you ever try B series? 15.4' is pretty good for movie.
Sony :: AR/AW Series
May 5, 2010I really enjoy the big screen, large HD and fast CPU. And what appears to be a Sony exclusive, a R/W Blu-Ray drive. I watched eagerly at the AW series, thinking that I might pull the trigger on the 'next' laptop in this series.
But as you know, it never came...
So I took a look at the F series at some of the local computer shops (e.g. Fry's and Micro Center)

Sony :: Why No More AW Series
Feb 15, 2010I was looking at this series all the way back in October when Windows 7 was going to launch. What happens?
They keep Vista on it and the gradually phase it out. The few OS 7 models they had they phased out.
Why did Sony discontinue this Series? I've seen no rumors or anything on an update.
Was it not selling well? Techical problems? Why just drop the line for so long?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSony :: VGN-FZ Series
Oct 11, 2009I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ27G notebook to be exact and been having a few issues of late, and wondering if there are some clever computer buffs out there to help me solve my dilema.
Firstly I run Vista on 32bit with service pack 1 and just as a side note formated not that long ago.
The main problem is instaling software. Here's when it gets a bit tempremental. Basically it doesn't want to do it, instal software that is. And before you all say "yeah that's an easy one, just run it as Administrator!!" no been there done that and yes it is set as me being administrator etc.
My question, is there a simple oversite or a setting in computer management or even firmware or drivers that need to be definately looked at? I mean it wont even load software at times from the DVD drive let alone from the hard drive!(It wasn't like that before, I know it can do it)
Sony :: Uses For TPM In Z Series

Sony :: NW Series
Jan 18, 2010I'm seriously considering the NW series and I've read a lot of the good comments/reviews.
1) What is the method behind the model numbers? It seems every site I visit has NW100's, 200's, and 300's. Is there an easy way to translate that into the specs? Is the 300 sub-series any newer or "better" than the 100 and 200 sub-series? Glancing at the specs it seems very arbitrary and I want to make sure I'm not missing something.
2) Is now a good time to buy the NW series? From my research it appears the NW series was revealed early last summer. Do we expect any kind of facelift or "second gen" to come out soon? Any anticipated sales? I'm in no hurry to buy.
3) Is the BD combo worth it if you don't watch movies? I was just wondering if it might be good for laptop resale value in the future, or if software is going to start being sold on BD instead of DVD.
4) Which of the available processors for the NW series is the "best?" Is it worth the money?
5) Is there anything else I should consider before buying an NW? In summary, I'll be using this for internet/itunes/docs and I'm eying the pre-packaged configs in the $650-750 range.

Oct 18, 2009Sony no longer call the cheaper lower resolution screen as ECO screen. Instead, they simply call it "16.4" VAIO Display (1600x900)".

Sony :: SZ6 Series FN Not Working
Apr 8, 2009I have an SZ691 trying to go from Vista Business 32 to 64 bit. Everything but FN, Graphics switching, and S1 S2 keys work fine. 64 bit is very stable and fast but I would like everything to work and also be able to load from Sony restore disc. The thread about ABR may help too.
Anyone have any idea how to get FN working? I think the video camera works but the Viao software won't recognize it, strange?
It would be nice if we could "STICKY" all 64 bit OS threads. Here are some that I have read.
