Sony Vaio FW41E/H review

 

Sony's Vaio FW41E/H is well equipped for entertainment.

Sony's generously equipped Vaio FW41E/H is a great laptop with something for everyone, including Blu-ray playback and a large hard disk.

Sony Vaio VGN-FW41E

 

Easy to use, lightweight given the size of screen but screen size a huge plus for visibility etc. reasonably high speed for my needs, good memory.

Battery life could be better as it is neccesary to use mains lead unless using for very short periods otherwise battery drains within about 90 mins and needs charging when not in use in order to be prepared for later.
