Sony VAIO VGN-FW11ZU review

A stylish and affordable HD laptop, but performance failed to truly impress

Attractive styling ; Great usability ; Good value ; Impressive feature set

Sony VGN-FW11ZU

The Sony VGN-FW11ZU is one of Sony's latest Notebooks to hit the market. It has 4GB of installed memory and is equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.35 GHz processor. This laptop has a comfortable 41cm display and installed with a Microsoft Windows Vista...
