yes, certainly its better than NW15 in term of gpu.

the GMA4500MHD isnt a bad gpu card, but if you intend to play current game and some year 2008 game, you better skip. the GMA4500MHD only capable to play game which release year 2006 at most.

if you like games such DoTa, CS Source, and a casual gamer, you wont have prob to play.
some games ive play using the GMA4500MHD is HAWX, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, CS Source, SRS, NFS series (NFS UG 1, 2, Most Wanted), NFS Prostreet and Undercover tho its a lil bit bumpy; etc ( i forgot others). i believe the previous Juiced can be play as well. do mind that when using the integrated gpu (GMA4500MHD), the processor and rams capability really do count. means the higher the cpu (speed and cache) and ram capacity (size and types (e.g: DDR3), the better and smooth it goes.

ps: of course you cant play crysis with GMA

How'bout FallOut3?
I played that game with lowest resolution & setting using my XPS M1210, which run on T5600 & 2Gb RAM & GeForce7400.
Kinda slow after long play.

Will NW15 spec run better? U can estimate it, I'll understand it.
Or FW43 sufficient for smooth gameplay?

Fallout 3 wont run with GMA4500MHD.
i run the Fallout 3 using my NVIDIA 9300M GS, its pretty good with lower res, and some low graphic setting. its playable.
the FW43 is using ATI HD3470, which has abit better performance than my NVIDIA. thats would handle the game smoothly without prob provided that you run the game without using the native reso of FW43. tho, if you have higher budget, i would recommend you the FW46 in a heartbeat.

No, that won't work.
FW46 need additional RM2k!

Kinda regret when I bought the XPS M1210 at RM5,456 after customized in 2007.
It din perform well on games at all.
Can't even play smooth with NFS: Underground which is a game yrs ago.

I'm a gamer, but I dun think I'm a gamer with computer. I prefer on TV, eg Xbox, PS3...
So I think F43 is basically suit me overally.
Juz the batt life less tahn 2 hrs with operating, which get me worry.

US spec can last upto 4hrs with std cells. Extended cells make 5.5hrs.


Miyabi, which VAIO u using?

for the FW series battery life, its rely on the machine configuration. usually the one with integrated GMA4500MHD and P variant Core 2 processor prolly have better battery life hour. its doesnt make difference for US and Asia's FW series.

if you already said that console is your choice for gaming, and if you need better battery life, get the non dedicated gpu notebook. Theres tons of choice available for VAIO with integrated gpu.
Im using VAIO Z, previous was VAIO C.

i hope they do bring the highend NW too, the price just fit its well(from the US site). but, tho in my opinion sometimes its rely to demand.
regarding the new model, i guess its the VAIO X series along with some refresh spec for VAIO P (not so sure on this).

It seems that the bottom part of my screen flickers at certain times.......

I'm not sure whether something is wrong with my screen.........

No user have this problem???

Hi peeps,

I'm a proud owner of CS Series. Bought @ Mid Valley's Sony Centre. Just got my pink lappy today =) just wondering how do u guys protect the keyboard? Liquid cleaner or keyboard protector? Anyone can recommend me a sleeve or bag for me new lappy pls? =)

i dont use the CS, but i have a cousin who are using CS; ive asking her if theres prob like what you mention, but it doesnt.
do you did any nvidia driver update or any changes on your computer? if default nvidia driver, its related to the screen itself i believe.

i suggest if the notebook still under warranty, send it back to service centre for inspection.

i already replied on your thread, check it out

For the Win7 upgrade, can i dont do it online and go to the sony centre and purchase the kit ?

ya, i wan to know too.. if it is possible. And if so, where can we do it?

1) You have to install the driver for XP.
2) Use the recovery dvd you create.

onenique: thanks for sharing the photos. and nice upgrade

nicky0322: only selected model is applicable. and call their CIC to ask about that..seeing that you need to register from japan website, i guess you have to go through this channel as sony malaysia doesnt sell the kit standalone at their store. anyway, give them a call.

can anyone tell me what is the closing time for sony centre nearby mid valley there? need to know ASAP.. thanks alot.

i guess its follow the other shop office hour? say 10pm? sorry i cant answer it. perhaps call the HQ?
