i looked at it, flip it and came to a conclusion that its a pretty plain design ;/
its just a regular one color laptop. the earlier FE is still made of carbon and has more than one color :] adding that the design is not overrated and plain like any other typical laptops |

QUOTE(Miyabi @ Apr 8 2007, 07:11 PM) just wanna share some tips on getting difference series of vaio notebook driver. Totally agree wit u bro... The name also called 'MyFirstVAIO'...cause normally if u wanna buy ur 1st VAIO, will go for that series 1st..very smart Sony marketing strategy...when you click on the driver software (on the first page) with proceed button(if im not mistake), go to your Windows folder first, C:\Windows , look for this file: Model.txt. Simply change the model number (if yours is VGN-FE38GP) it will stated there. just change that number of your own there with the driver's series number. after that save. and go back to your installation window, proceed the installation as usual. lol, somehow i cant imagine sony did this for driver validation.. maybe because of demand and price tag for it. just for example, the 007 tx series which not available in malaysia. besides, in malaysia, not many people used vaio rather than people in us, europe, japan. currently, i can see they (sony malaysia/sony corp.) trying their best to promote the "affordable" c-series value among the teenager through contests, just to give people first glance about vaio and it's so called design. just my opinion only la lol.  |

hi all,
i'm seriously thinking of getting the SZ48, but my other options are the FE48 or the Dell XPS M1210. Does anyone have any feedback on these models? Also, would it be better to get it at PC Fair or should i just head over to Sony Style KLCC? cheers. |

QUOTE(ezinger @ Apr 9 2007, 07:20 PM) p0wn3d erm, just make sure it's fall in the same class for the driver, lets say, FE-series, just grab the FE series one. and also, it's not likely to be available in Windows folder, till you click to install the software. More likely auto generate, and when you proceed, that txt files will do a reference to do check on the driver, thats why some of you get the message saying " The driver is not for your machine". » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « SZ48 is the ultimate mobility and FE48 is a desktop replacement, u cant really compare both unless u have a preference if the problem arise still, then it's just mystery lol ;9 deathbringer: FE = less batt life, SZ = more mobility,long batt life etc. and dell, not sure that one. but the laptop is decent too since the XPS is known to be high in quality. |

QUOTE(ezinger @ Apr 9 2007, 07:20 PM) SZ48 is the ultimate mobility and FE48 is a desktop replacement, u cant really compare both unless u have a preference i prefer mobility (i.e. something real small and light). i've been lugging around those Dell Inspiron desktop replacement notebooks for too long. my shoulder is killing me.  QUOTE(Miyabi @ Apr 9 2007, 08:35 PM) deathbringer: the only difference i noticed between the FE and the SZ is a larger screen and slightly better graphics chipset for the FE. but that thing is huge compared to the SZ.FE = less batt life, SZ = more mobility,long batt life etc. and dell, not sure that one. but the laptop is decent too since the XPS is known to be high in quality. EDIT: oh yeah, the FE48 is cheaper than the SZ48. just noticed that. QUOTE(ezinger @ Apr 9 2007, 08:37 PM) but SZ has by far better design :] does anyone actually use the fingerprint reader on the SZ?does the XPS has a fingerprint reader? anyways, thanks to everyone for the feedbacks. btw, should i get it from PC Fair or Sony Style? more freebies at PC Fair???

deathrbringer,
I was in the same dilemma as you.. was seriously tempted to get the Dell XPS... then when I laid my eyes on the SZ, all after thoughts went out of the window. Get th SZ la, Made in Japan, sleek and slim and just so much sexier than the XPS. Forget the FE la... its just too heavy  |
