The brand name of Sony has always been synonymous with excellent design and quality and there is no exception to this rule when it comes to Sony Laptops their Vaio range have long been at the forefront of technology and innovation and though not the cheapest in the marketplace a Sony Laptop always delivers value for money.

Now with their latest in X-Black screen technology they have taken their FW Series to a newer and higher level in sharp, bright and natural looking images with true 16:9 aspect ratio and Full HD resolution delivering the best possible experience with digital Media. X-Black is Sony’s marketing name for the latest in anti-reflective LCD screen technology, producing colours that are more brilliant with sharper contrasting tones and much crisper images.

If you are looking for a laptop that’s got style and substance then the FW Series of Sony Laptops is for you utilising an ultra thin bezel and compact chassis for a streamlined slim appearance making them highly transportable and remarkably compact. They have a beautiful battery and hinge with a cylindrical design that helps keep the weight down to just 3.1kg which also ensures that one of the most vulnerable areas of all laptops has maximum strength. This unique design also reduces the overall height of the laptop when opened without compromising on the screen size. Manufactured from lightweight and durable magnesium alloy provides the chassis of the Sony Laptops with rugged protection from real world knocks and shocks.

With a powerful and dedicated ATI® Radeon™ graphics card in place they easily offer the performance required for running media intensive tasks, including playing games, creating presentations and watching DVD’s with no compromise. But in order to enjoy the true multimedia experience you also need great acoustics and once again the Sony Laptops deliver with Dolby® Sound Room™ which recreates through your headphones the acoustics of a small theatre.

Wireless communication is also improved making use of next generation wireless technologies such as Intel® Draft-n on most models which provide wireless connectivity at up to five times faster, with a wider reception range and better reliability than 802.11a/b/g when connected to hotspots. This also allows for more confidence on the move and the ability to stream wirelessly throughout your home or office without the need for additional hardware and cabling.

Although no longer as popular as it once was all models of these Sony Laptop include effortless data exchange and connection with other personal devices via Bluetooth®.

Sony are also making great headway with the environment and for the consumer who prefers their product to be green then Sony Laptops are well worth a good look. Many of the Vaio models are already Energy Star Compliant and most of them now provide useful power saving technologies which also has the benefit of improving battery life. One such feature is the powering down of the screen while listening to your collection of mp3’s.

Sony know that in this day and age a lot is required from a laptop and their research labs pay particular attention to this area, they call this "business grade durability" but as the consumer you will know it as peace of mind from a brand with international acclaim.
