VPCF22BFX/B 3.5 5 8 8
powerful yet portable I have been a loyal Sony customers (have bought four laptops for the past five years for my family). The F series with Core i7 processor is one of the most reliable and powerful laptop computers. In terms of computation speed, it closely matches the Dell Precision T1500 workstation I use at work. I like the Core i7 processor very much. It is pleased to see eight hyper threads work simultaneously when doing multi-thread computing. I have had a Sony F series laptop (VPCF1) computer for two years. It works well for my work (development of CAD system at Intergraph) and HD home video editing. One thing I do not like this computer is the blackbody that can be easily spoiled by finger prints. July 29, 2012
It is okay. The webcam on this thing is worse than a cell phone camera. It looks like I'm recording with a calculator. Other than that, the computer is alright. Its quick to start up, and vents off less heat than other laptops I've been using. It's got a unique design. I recommend this laptop if you want to have the name "Vaio" on your laptop or you're just a sony fan like me. November 14, 2011
Powerful and Beautiful I've chosen this notebook because of his design that is really beautiful and because of his specifications and for the good cost/benefit, but his design have a big problem, it scratches too easily what makes him looks older even i put him directly in his case after using. November 12, 2011
Sony VAIO I have had many many issues with my Sony after buying it. I even had to reformat my computer only after 2 months of owning it. It runs very slow for having such good components. The bluray player works well and the screen does look very nice! I wouldn't bother paying for these features, this model will just fail you. November 1, 2011
