16.4 to be exact

to me, like maxizanc mention, apart from processor, the other parts is fine for casual task. tho you certainly can get better spec if opt other than sony, like benq, asus or dell. i would say survey other brand if you wanna get best bang for that price you pay.

maxizanc: oh okay :/

btw, i dont get why lcd quality on FW53 sucks, doesnt it has similar lcd quality like FW43 and the rest? is it because of it looks dim than the other?
thats must be a hint between "VAIO Display" and "VAIO Display Premium" lolz. the only distinguish i can see it between the high end is the resolution and also those naming VAIO Display Premium , vice versa..but if you really compare the lcd quality with Z or TT, it certainly sucks. its just a mediocre quality given to the cheaper "sony price" you pay

*sony price = its usually expensive than other brands.

There's also another addition in the Vaio Display line up. Called the "Vaio Display premium Plus". lol

Last time, the display panel for CS is almost the same with FW43/33

Now the CW1x has better display than FW53 thanks to LED backlight.

anyone installed windows 7 on vaio?
is there any issues as sony didnt provide windows 7 drivers?

Currently i am using Window 7 Ultimate 32 bit on my FW43. Having no problem so far, just some shortcut button cannot be used. S1, Av Mode, brightness shortcut ( Fn+F5, Fn+F6 ), and Fn+F7. Not sure for MagicGate, SD card and HDMI...

New stuff coming?!

prolly to reorganize stuff.
so many new stuff coming, from VAIO to PS3 Slim (Malaysia Official)

Your installed Windows 7 which is build not for Vaio, hence some keys malfunction.

anyone tried this:-

can i use this installer without windows 7 sony cd?

can i just install my own windows 7 to my vaio?

Well, actually if you are upgrading from Vista to 7 and you aplied for the upgrade through sony-asia, the media kit is from Microsoft.

You can try install your own 7 and then install those installers. Worst outcome is your Vaio will become like nicky0322's FW. Some buttons malfunctioning.

I saw the website ordering the Windows 7 from Sony......
The price is something like USD 15 or 17.......and exclude shipping and taxes.....

Does anyone knows the exact amount when it comes to Malaysia here???

Sry ya...cz i seldom make research on sony laptop...Ya as mentioned from him is X series...he say that the price for the netbook using solid state hd 64mb around few k...but if need upgrade to 128mb it will cost another 1k....the solid stat hd is very exp

Price for upgrade kit is $15 and the shipping fee is $17. Final cost without tax will be $32 without tax. I don't know how much is the tax imposed, but the final cost should be lower than $40.

I see......so that would be costing up to RM100++.......

But still it's cheaper than buying the OS ourselves right???

hi! i'm interested in getting a sr series notebook. i noticed from sony malaysia that only sr55gf/b is listed. is that the latest model? is it good?

Lets see...
If you're currently using Windows Vista Ultimate, the 7 Ultimate will cost you about 700-800 bucks.
So, you do the maths.

So far I only see SR43 at Sony stores only. SR5x no where to be seen.

anyone know if i use windows 7 on my vaio , do i need to install vaio smart network to use wireless or i just install wireless drivers?

hey,i buy my sony vaio oversea,but nw the lappy is got problem.
at UK d..but does the warranty is global???

already replied on your thread,
anyway,

only selected model comes with international warranty (every purchase of VAIO X series have this),
or purchasing the international warranty locally from official sony style / sony centre
or both.

Added on October 29, 2009, 1:01 amsmart wi / network make things easier, tho you can still accessing it via control panel -> mobile pc -> windows mobility centre.
both done the same job. so its up to you.

but its recommend still to use smart wi / network since you can access not only WLAN, but Bluetooth, LAN, and Modem switch at ease.
