Sony VAIO VGN-FW510F/B 16.4-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) Reviews
| 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful  Great other than sub-par LCD, By This review is from: Sony VAIO VGN-FW510F/B 16.4-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) (Personal Computers) Pros:Good specs for a mid-grade notebook Comforable & quiet keyboard Upward facing speakers HDMI output Aesthetically pleasing Cons: LCD is dark even at full brightness Fan comes on intermitently every 4-5 mins Heavy (6.9 pounds) Low battery life (~2.5hrs on light usage) Review: I bought this at Bestbuy the weekend of Black Friday ($649.99). It's rare to find a mid-grade notebook that has dedicated graphics, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, GigE & 802.11n connectivity, and a 1600x900 display. Even at MSRP, the specs are pretty good for the price. The keyboard is very quiet and comfortable to type on. The touchpad is a decent size but the 2 buttons are hard to click (I generally use the touchpad tap gestures). The max volume on the speakers are pretty good and they actually face up. Many lower end notebooks have them facing down going away from your ear and also gets muffled if you put it on your bed. The HDMI is great for...

If you do not mind the lack of BD player, this laptop is a winner, but amazon's prices for the same product are way above than Best Buy ($200+ difference). I already own a sony laptop FW 270J and they are excellent products. I would recommend this sony to anyone, over almost any other brands. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Ok Laptop - TERRIBLE Customer Service, This review is from: Sony VAIO VGN-FW510F/H 16.4-Inch Gray Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) (Personal Computers) I have never dealt with such poor service in my entire life as I dealt with for my Sony Vaio VGN-FW. Less than six months after purchasing the computer the network connection stopped working. After two hours of dealing with Sony tech support they finally sent a technician, who replaced the network card but still didn't solve the problem. The next step was to send the computer to the Sony fix-it center where it was to be "assessed" and "processed". Then, I got the news - according to Sony the switch to the wireless card was broken in the off position, it was somehow "my fault", and it would cost $700 to replace. This was a complete and utterly false and shameful assertion on their point, especially since the only time that the wireless switch had ever been used was when the Sony tech had toggled it in her diagnostics. After two days and considerable agony dealing with the customer service center I was finally able to get Sony to agree to replace the network card with no cost... Read more |
