Hi all,
I just purchased Sony Vaio FW57 yesterday and I would like to join the club  I have done the survey before buying and considered a few options such as Studio XPS, Alienware, HDX, Pavillion among others, but finally I choose Vaio FW57. I havent tested anything yet, but its a stunning looking laptop with big 16:4 screen. Hoping to share the experience with the sifus here.  |

QUOTE(DalphinuS @ Dec 16 2009, 03:44 PM) Most expensive FW series in M'sia at this moment. Dalphinu,All specs above mine, same spec for HD4650 (but mine is 512Mb only), 1 level ahead of BluRay rom (mine allow read only), my HDD is 7200 rpm though from the US soec. Cool gadget u have! Do u face force shut down issue every time u shut down the PC?  I think mine was FW56 instead of FW57. someone pointed out to me because FW56 only have 4gb instead of 6gb in fw57. The price is 1k diff, i went for fw57. Mine comes with windows 7 HP, and its one day old. I havent got the problem yet. Gonna play it more after work. Added on December 16, 2009, 3:49 pmSorry, the price diff was -+500. What happen to me la today..  This post has been edited by lethalyellow: Dec 16 2009, 03:49 PM |

QUOTE(DalphinuS @ Dec 16 2009, 06:04 PM) So urs is FW56?? I think RM500 worth the value... +2Gb (4Gb single slot not cheap), + BluRay burner. Sometimes its unwanted program that runs in the background. I will do a hubt and search for it over the weekend. Yeah, i feel a bit loss there..but so far it is a very nice laptop..closest of having Mac. LOL.Hmm.. I got this prob since I got the unit. I wonder why it happens. Oh ya, 1 thing I got in advantage is, mine is extended battery 7200mAh. But gosh, it's 0.5kg in weight! I got a standard battery..dun know bout the battery spec. |

QUOTE(DalphinuS @ Dec 23 2009, 12:36 AM) Alwiz pop out! Its really frustrating to encounter the issue, considering that the spec of the machine that we have.When I left my MSN there, it's pop with MSN running behind. If I manual close the MSN b4 shutting down, it oso pop out with no program running behind, as I shown in screenshot earlier.  See... Nothing's there to be forced shut down~ What I did was uninstall MSN and put the CPU meter on the gadget. I will only shut down the machine when the CPU usage is around 8% and below. So far it works and fingers crossed it stays that way...  One more thing, the McAfee antivirus that was bundled with Vaio is pretty useless, any recommendation from you guys which one is good? I went to lowyat and I can only see kaspersky with jackie chan on it..is it any good? This post has been edited by lethalyellow: Dec 23 2009, 03:12 AM |

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Dec 29 2009, 09:42 PM) Those eyeing for the FW... Really? They are going to phase it out soon?better go grab one ASAP. I heard that the FW5x series will be the last FW generation. Just wanna ask, do you all use WINDVD to play bluray movies? I found out that the software is not too good. |

QUOTE(jasmine_09 @ Jan 4 2010, 01:10 PM) hi people, Jasmine, welcome to the club! Suppose you wanna be included in the owners list?Just got my VAIO CW16FG. What should I do next? Added on January 4, 2010, 2:19 pm QUOTE(Miyabi @ Jan 3 2010, 02:04 PM) the bottom line is, you cant catch up with technology. just be happy with what you have. my Z gonna be serve me for 3 years at least before i decide for new one. the new model sure is always there but my wild guess those new line up will be officially available for consumer around Q2/2010 or Q3. so thats a long wait if you have to do. not to mention that Sony Malaysia always get new stuff late..so yeah. I agree with Miyabi. U will be dead broke if u wanna buy / own the latest one in the market unless you are a rich brat. Saw the F series spec on the site given, the only difference was the proc and gc. Safe to say that I can use mine for at least 2 3 years  This post has been edited by lethalyellow: Jan 4 2010, 02:19 PM |
