Hmm... No regret of it lor.

I'm using a FW590 from US, spec almost the same as urs, juz I got upgrade BluRay combo ROM & extended 7200Mah battery, the rest almost the same like urs!

So far so good! Everyone is so envious at my VAIO.

Self usage-wise, everything works juz fine! No noise, no lag, no malfunction, no heat issue.

I can play latest game DragonAge: Origins at highest setting, projected to my 42" tv using HDMI at no prob at all.
It gets heat at the fan area during gaming, but as soon as I end the game & continue for other purpose, the heat gone in a split second. I'm convince it has a very good heat dissipation system!

What do u expect? U're looking for a 3 yrs warranty, so dun back down. Give all out!

When u're talking about the FW series, so many satisfied owner here, u dun have to afraid!

Dun worry!!!

That's good, other than fw, the sr series also receive good reviews from most of the users. Just try to stay away from cs and bz series if you plan to buy a vaio

ok bro.thanks for your opinion,i was just quiet worried.

Hmmm.... Juz FYI, FW series is not a gaming, or mobility notebook, they're meant for home entertainment, such as music & video.

But ATI 4650 is doing great with games so far with me now. It's a cool notebook, if u can bear the weight when u carrying (if necessary means).

My current FW590 CTO together with my previous XPS1210M


My HDMI out with 720p to my 42" TV. (1080p will be too small for the whole displayed object)

well, i can assure u guys...i get to use lots of models from so many brand i can remember..at first i was..stoopid sony...so expensive, just to buy the name "SONY"..but when i 1st use it, i feels like..i wont change to any other laptop like forever...lol...


but anyhow, buying computers & electronics is all depend on luck...how good a model or brand is, there is still some 5-10% defective products they sell off accidently..

Some electrical technical question hopefully u can help me with it, can a 2 pin power cord (2.5A 250V) support my VAIO if the original cord is stated 7A 125V 875W. It's connected to my adaptor, which stated input of 100V-240V ~1.5A?

Will it cause any damage to my hardware if using it? Or make no difference where both oso supported?

i never used any 2 pins for my pc..its not good for electronics and computers..tested it with desktops..eventually burnt power supply and a lcd..well, i was working for a maintenance company mainly on cybercafes.

i dunno, but i dun recommend it..

how long can a sony laptop fw series last? i need to buy a laptop for long term use, about 5 yrs.

it depends......but they do laST LONG

no one knows for SURE...



juz max out whatever warranty period u could get then.

some up to 6 yrs warranty/insurance.

i bought my fw from harvey norman. thn i bought their extended warranty. so 1 year warranty from sony, another 4 years from harvey norman. =D and they said if my laptop really broke down until cant be fixed, they can let me replace another laptop from them wif the same price tat i bought. nice huh =p

hey guys is it true that some of the buttons on the sony vaio fw55 does not work since windows 7 was installed example the brightness control buttons,zooming buttons etc.
is it tru ?
can there be anything done ?

my fw43 oso using window 7 ultimate, and all my button is working except the S1 button and AV Mode button. =D i juz installed drivers from sony and got it works. =D

Dun juz listen from them verbally. Muz have a proper policy or black & white from them.
Read them line by line & make sure what they told u rili stated there.

But since u already bought them, so I think what u can do is to make sure it's really stated there.

BTW... SEC, SenQ oso doing this. It's more like a general insurance scheme.

Added on December 14, 2009, 6:10 pmI got my FW wholly from the SONY, together with the s/w inside, everything works fine.

Those who got this prob, is they upgrade the Wins7 manually themself, I think.

I looked back to the extended warranty card tat i got from harvey norman and it stated that:

"Harvey Norman, at its sole discretion, may replace your Product with one of a like kind and quality if the Product is not repairable or beyond economic repair. Any such replacement will immediately terminate this Extended Warranty Service Contract."

=) dun make me worried la lol

dun worry guys and girls..evrything is working with windows 7...its just that u gotta download manually all those stoopid software & drivers still not yet available in our malaysia website..i've tested almost all available in US website..let me knoe your model..i'll help wut i can...i love sony US site but its a bull for asia website..they do work so slow like a snail...
