SONY VPCF116FX/B NoteBook Intel Core i7 720QM(1.60GHz) 16.4" 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 7200rpm BD Combo NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

Decent cost for such a quick and highly equipped computer. Very fast, competes with my fastest desktop. I plan to put an SSD in this computer as well which will really make this thing fast

I have not found a con yet really. I did the bios upgrade and it did definitely lower the core temp of the laptop so it is not really a con. When a simple Bios upgrade can fix the problem, I tend to consider that a non-issue since I keep my Bios up to...

Quad-core i7 CPU featuring Intel's "Turbo Boost" technology. Individual cores can clock as high as 2.80 GHz, giving you the benefits of both high clock speed and eight logical cores (quad core with hyperthreading) ; Robust system with 4GB of DDR3 1333,...

6/30/2010 CRITICAL BIOS UPDATE ; On June 30 Sony announced ". . . a potential malfunction of the internal temperature management system, resulting in deformation of the product's keyboard or external casing, and a potential burn hazard to consumers ;...

This laptop fit *everything* I was wanting. i7, Blu-Ray, 1080p, backlit keyboard and the size/weight I wanted ; i7! Solid performance. Nice display at face value. 1080p resolution, VERY nice. Plenty of external connections, USB, eSATA, etc. Perfect...

I want to preface the "cons" that I truely like this laptop and the many cons I have here are not deal breakers but worth noting ; Optical drive was defective couldn't read or write any discs, online chat determined that, then had to call tech support...

fast CPU,+RAM not slowest ; 1gb video and BD makes it almost perfect ; pretty much runs the latest PC games

i've been using sony products since my first computer for like 8 years,and changing and modifying,simply keeping it up to date ; and i thought w this laptop i'd keep my tradition.when i just opened the box and touched the laptop-i was shocked,by cheap...

This is a very fast Quad Core laptop with 8 threads, 2 per core. It is faster than most desktops, has a graphics card that is better than most desktops and is overall, a smokin' fast laptop that can do just about anything you could ask of it. Not to...

Yes, the fan is loud when it is cooling this powerful CPU and GPU, it has to be. It is tough to cool something this powerful packed inside a laptop case. I don't even consider this a con, but some people "Just Have" to have something to complain about

Excellent, comfortable keyboard. Backlighting is a plus ; eSata port ; Bright screen ; Wonderfully quick core i7 processor ; More than enough RAM to power a Windows 7 machine ; Runs all contemporary games. Just played L4D2 on max ; Quick HDD data...

Bloatware was a pain to get off, but an hour or so of work of uninstalling from control panel took care of it ; Only two USB ports ; LCD screen, though bright, could be a bit better for the price range ; VAIO's battery life ; No recovery disks, but you...

Fast Core i7 CPU ; Screen SIZE ; Keyboard layout

The LCD screen is of a very poor quality (for this price range) ; The CPU kicks in even when viewing a simple website AND it is loud (for a laptop) ; The battery drains a lot when the laptop is turned off ; There is a lot of flex underneath the BD...

Decent price at the time for new technology. Overall stable platform, had no problems with anything

Screen is good but not superb, that to be expected given price. Was disappointed by the lack of docking station connector. CPU fan is a bit on the loud side. Was totally blown away by the lack of options in the BIOS, the only thing you can choose is...

The laptop is fast. Opens and loads files much faster than my past laptops. The iCore7 powers through most video games, and can play the latest ones at least on medium settings. BluRay is nice, it's my only platform that can play them, so I'm not sure...

I only have three complaints with this laptop ; 1) It feels a little cheap, which is too bad, because it's not. The laptop definitely has a plasticy feel to it, and could have been built a little more solid. With that said, I haven't had any damage to...

I should start with the shortcomings of this laptop. That would be short and sweet...no USB 3.0 (I noticed a complaint in another review) He/she did not mention the e-sata II port though. My 2TB external enclosure likes this port very well ; Let's...

I'm going to use this box to address the other guys cons ; 1. The microphone has issues? I have a Plantronics Pulsar 590A wireless Bluetooth stereo headset and Skype for my headphone/microphone needs in the first place and the stereo (supports the A2DP...
