SLAM DUNK!!! This is THE Laptop for gamers and Graphic Designers…,
Read the product description very carefully, and if it seems to have what you think you are looking for in graphic card, memory, WS/HD display, hard drive, lightning fast I7-740QM processor and all the other bells and whistles, then this is what you are looking for! We have had this only about 6 days now and have loaded it with designing software, CS5, Norton, almost 10k photos and family videos, and it is kicking at Secretariat speed. My wife wanted a new laptop for graphic desigining, and I did comprehensive research for almost a week before deciding that the Sony VAIO VPC-F13YFX/B was the way to go. This decision was somewhat jumping into new territory a bit because there were literally no customer reviews available on the internet being this is a new Sony model. By comparing older models, and the upgraded equipment in this one, I felt we couldn’t go wrong. So far, I am happy with that decision!
This laptop plays movies as well as any HD TV, and with the HDMI out port, you can hook it up to your LED TV for high quality HDTV for the gameroom. (The blu-ray player is an upgrade option if you desire). The sound coming from the speakers is impressive, and playing music through them is pleasant listening to. The 3.0 ports, bluetooth, webcam, WIFI ready and the awesome graphic card means nothing is left out. Now if I can only convince her to get one for myself!!!
With the 1 year warranty and 1 year in home service, Sony is standing by it’s product and that comforts me a little when paying this much for an unreviewed product.
One month update- This laptop is extremely efficient, and as I said before, FAST! We have upgraded to a new “N” router and utilizing a cable modem, it connects up to 300 MBPS! Working on her Masters, my wife uses this for school every day with a live camera system for credibility. We have experienced zero drop offs from the web, and are very pleased with this products overall “Live” internet performance. LOVE the big 16.4″ HD/WS Display! The keyboard is solid and VERY well built, unlike most laptop keyboards which are plastic keys and click when you type.
The only glitch we have come across is that there is “Google Chrome” Web Browser software pre-installed on the computer, which we are unfamiliar with (We use I.E.). We decided to delete it, and that was a mistake! It affected multiple programs, so we re-installed it and leave it in hiding. One program that it affects is Microsoft Outlook email (Hyperlinks do not work for some reason, a very well known and discussed problem on the internet) which my wife prefers over Windows Live Mail because it will Sync her phone with her calendar, contacts etc. via Bluetooth. Outlook is an additional program we have added along with the entire Microsoft Office Suite. You can use Windows Live Mail which is pre-installed if you like it better, it just doesn’t SYNC with our phones.
Overall, a fantastic purchase and wonderful product! This computer fits the cliche’ “Spend a little more and get a little more”, only you get a LOT more. This is our first Sony VAIO, and will NOT be our last!!!!

|Great Product,
Sony Vaio has created a name for itself and it lives up to that name with great computing power and useability. Also if you ever have software problems dont be afriad to call Sony Customer Support it took me less than a half hour to resolve my issues.

|Nice!,
I receieved this lap-top today and it is nice. I almost purchased the Asus with the same internals at Best Buy but the keys were sticky and hard to push, as I do a lot of photoshop, I passed. This computer is very nice, tough, fast after loading, CS5, Lightroom, NERO, Office, Canon, and a few other programs on here and it still runs just as fast as w/o. Nice speakers, no Bose, but equal or better to anything on the Best Buy showroom floor. The backlit keyboard was not even a buying decision for me, but as I type this in the dark, I must say it is really nice!
Nices laptop I have seen in 4-5 months of research.
