Review Of Sony Vaio FW560FT
REVIEW:
The Sony Vaio FW560F/T is a new member of the FW series. It provides more features as compared to the old members of this series. It comes with a faster processor, an improved graphics card and it also has a BLU-ray drive. These features were not present in its predecessors.
The design of this laptop reminds us of the Apple’s macbook. The chassis of this laptop is made up of matte black plastic. Its lid is of shiny chocolate brown colour which is very attractive. Overall, we can say that it has a very elegant and sleek look.
Its keyboard is very comfortable to use. The keys are large and widely spaced. There is a lot of space on both the sides of the keyboard. This space could have been used to include an additional number pad. You will find some media control buttons and volume control buttons just above the keyboard but these are not backlit buttons. Its touch pad is little small but still comfortable to use.
It has a 16.4 inches wide screen which supports 1600×900 pixels of native resolution. Its speakers are average. Sound quality is just good enough for listening to light music and watching movies. Its battery life is not impressive. With this laptop you will get a standard one year warranty from Sony.
