Crisp, high-resolution screen ; Blistering processor performance ; Very well presented

Lacks 3D graphics performance ; Heavy and bulky design ; Incredibly expensive

Alright, fancypants. You want a laptop of luxury, but you don't want an Apple MacBook? Not even a 17-inch MacBook Pro? You want 3D but a Zalman 3D monitor isn't for you? Fancy the sort of black plastic slab that your friends can only dream of owning?...

Performance issues aside, the VAIO F Series isn't such a bad buy. Sure, you'll have to contend with Sony's extra software (such as its VAIO Gate dock), and the Firewire port is weirdly located on the front of the computer, but otherwise the F Series is...

Great 3D technology, superb HD display, powerful specifications, brilliant all-rounder, good 2D to 3D on the fly conversion, nice chiclet keyboard

High price tag, average battery life, gamers will miss a dedicated high-end GPU

that's so invested in the so-called 3D revolution, Sony has taken its own sweet time bringing out its first 3D laptop. The Japanese technology giant has placed a big bet on 3D and has its own 3D production and content facilities as well as a big...

Excellent screen, high-end mobile CPU, great keyboard, Blu-ray burner ;

Slow hard drive, preinstalled software can be bothersome ;

We just wish it had a 7200rpm hard drive rather than a 5400rpm drive, and that it had space for two drives in its chassis. We also wish it didn't come with so much preinstalled VAIO software. Sony means well, but all that software will do is annoy you...

Impressive performance. Handsome 1080p HD screen. Spacious keyboard. Bundled multimedia software.

A mite pricey. Graphics fall short of full-resolution gaming nirvana. Too-short 30-day security trialware.

Touchpad texture was uncomfortable. Mouse button needs work.

Excellent Sony build quality. Full HD, matte screen. Covers Adobe RGB gamut. Reasonably powerful specs. Comfortable wrist rest.

Colour shift is huge with no sRGB, only intended for colour experts. Multi-touch touch pad is awful. Terrible speakers for the size. Included software is mostly awful.

The Sony Vaio F is an Adobe RGB-enabled laptop that will appeal to a niche audience who understands why it costs what it does. Those who don't know what Adobe RGB is should be spending their dollars elsewhere.

We also through the 3DMark06 to test the next generation NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M performance, by testing, at 1280 * 1024 resolution, Sony VAIO F received a total score of 6502, the results and we are more familiar with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M...
