Sony VAIO FZ230E Review:-

# Newegg Review: - The only 2 things that I wish were better are that there is no latch/locking mechanism on the screen, but the hinge holds it closed. Also there is 2Gb in memory on the laptop, Vista eats memory a lot more than XP so it feels during game play and certain applications that it isn’t quite as fast but still a good machine. 

# Notebookreview Review: - Since this is a Sony I am being really critical…The speakers, like all laptop speakers, lack bass. The motion eye (or webcam) doesn’t perform too well in poor light conditions. The particular model of FZ I got only came with 1gb of ram for running vista premium. The touch pad is noisy. Vaio update initially gave me some trouble and it was annoying having to install and restart the computer 5 times for the various driver updates. 

# Buyzillion Review: - It is a good notebook with around 5.75 lb wt. It comes with VISTA HOME. I could not upgrade it to VISTA ULTIMATE as SONY does not have supporting DRIVERS for this model and it has no plan of developing them. I’m very upset and disappointed by this as I cannot run little application software. SONY should make this public so that people can decide before buying the product. 

# Notebookreview Review: - A bit heavy…hot air comes out some times….lots of bloatware…I uninstalled and its fine now… standard battery takes only 2 hrs…which is less…and expensive 4 hrs battery…only 2 USB ports…difficult to locate LEDs…not clear image during webcam conference…
