Reason for purchasing
this laptop I have from the outset been found beautiful. I am about to study and I need. Thin, robust, (nice) laptop Hence, I stumbled upon this Sony Vaio. I am now about two more months in the possession of the Vaio. I bought it at the Media Markt, where he was on sale for 888 euros. What I did not know, but it was a good arrangement, was that if you were not happy for some reason, you are within 14 days without any problem could trade (useful with dead pixels, etc.) the laptop. Luckily I have this worry! Not use Design is of course subjective, but I love it. It also feels very high to, absolutely no plastic case such as this is the case for 85% of the other laptops. I also told him no time cracking or squeaking for example, when opening the lid. Various types of Sony Vaio FS-315 .. available. The version I'm talking about is the E version. This e-version is the entry model of the FS series. Why I chose the E variant is mainly because other enhanced versions were much more expensive (from 300 euros more). The differences lie mainly in a better graphics card, more memory and a Pentium M centrino instead of a Celeron M. This was me, not worth the extra 300 euros since I do not have to use it. High power processor Okay, the 1.6 Ghz Celeron M is not exactly a powerhouse, but for my use, he does it perfectly. Watch a dvdtje a (older) game play, typing and surfing the internet is not a problem. What is even more important to me is that he let the fan run. Almost no time Very occasionally you hear here (7 seconds) another show, this is absolutely not disturbing. From the bottom (and both the top), the laptop barely warm (I have otherwise experienced with an older laptop from another brand!). The only thing you can sometimes hear the hard drive as he quite his best to do is to work hard. Again, this noise is not disturbing. Hard Drive The Vaio has a 80GB 4200-rpm hard drive. This is just like the processor, not a speed monster, but I have no problems when working with the laptop here too. DVDs play fine off, nice and quick start programs, and games also run properly. Only with an intensive virus notice that he leaves behind, some speed but well, I take it for granted! Start Time The start time difference rather. If you completely restart the laptop then it may take a while before he is ready, about 40-50 seconds. You start it up from sleep mode (it's still completely but saves on disk where you left off, so he does not load the operating system must go all the way), he is quickly ready for use 15-25 seconds. That's why I almost always sleep mode use, since it uses still no power, but he's a lot faster. Graphic Card The Intel onboard graphics card 128 MB (which is the memory of my Vaio steals) is not exactly a powerhouse but it works fine in my user profile. Play games (no Call of Duty 2 on high-resolution course) is not a problem, just like watching a DVD or edit a picture. I should add that I mainly play my games on my PC (with a GeForce 6800, which is slightly faster!). That's why I also do not need a spicier card. Battery Life The battery life has pleasantly surprised me. At several sites, I saw that he should go. At around 80-120 minutes After some tests, I get 160 minutes (2 hours and 40 minutes) crushed without any trouble. This result I achieved by setting the following: Screen at the lowest level of brightness, WiFi on. For the rest I use the laptop as normal, ie booted again sometime, geïnternet, typed, picture editing and a program installed from the CD-ROM. The battery life is obviously not very spectacular in comparison with some other Centrino's but I must say that I no longer than 2 hours have to make the battery life as you stumble across the sockets at the Uni! Use Screen The screen has to be seen sometime . So clear, such a contrast, that's really wonderful to see. Watch a DVD on this 15.4 X-black screen is no punishment! The screen is so bright that even if you have no lighting in your home you can use to your living room (little) light to provide your laptop. No problem A disadvantage is that your evening should limit (if you are, for example, typing in Word), otherwise it will hurt. To your eyes the brightness of the screen on the lowest setting (of 9 positions), the screen just a tad darker than my beautiful Iiyama 17-inch LCD screen which then is at its highest level. So it is not really working as was the case with my old laptop. At the lowest setting The resolution of the 15.4-inch (1280x800) was in the beginning to get used (especially games), but is very pleasant to work with. Especially on the Internet and in programs such as Word, the extra width in handy. Keyboard Again, this is a bit subjective. I find the keyboard and high-quality feel. I was initially afraid that the bright white keyboard would be easy to get dirty, but this is me, so far, better than expected terribly. Also moves the rest of the keyboard is not quite with you when you are typing (like I did notice some other laptops from other brands). The keyboard makes the rest very little noise and is in a good position type. I have therefore not yet rubbed my hand over the touchpad accidentally. Enclosure I've been a bit on the housing of the Vaio discussed in the introduction. It definitely feels very pure quality. It looks like a type of metal to be because it feels cold. It also seems to work fairly scratch resistant because I have not a single scratch can spot on both the outside and the inside. In those two months, according to Sony, it weighs 2.9 kg (with all accessories such as adapters, etc). Really, he is therefore not superlight, but also feels super solid. The big advantage for me is that he is very flat and very sturdy. Fold open he is 2.5 cm thick, and is closed it 3.5 cm thick. My old laptop was 4.7 cm thick, so in this respect the Sony very very flat! The rugged housing, I'm not worried about any possible pressure that will be placed when transporting it in a backpack for example. On the laptop Sound Most laptops do not buy because the sound is so beautiful. After this, it is also not the case. There is more than enough volume, but he lacks the deep warm bass tones. The boxes can be absolutely nothing on my 5.1 Surround logitech, but this is not a disaster since I'm going to use for school activities. Mainly him Warranty One downside to this laptop I find the warranty. At Sony you'll get up to 1 year warranty on the Vaio and I think very little. Okay, most manufacturers are not too generous with warranty, but I think a year or few. When I went to inquire what cost extra warranty (bringing the total to 3 years was) I was just a little shock. The cost was less than 250, - Euros for two more years on top of the standard 1 year. That is almost 30% of the purchase price! I decided not to take to purchase. No additional guarantee to gamble Miscellaneous What I have noticed the laptop was that ALL USB ports are on the right side of the laptop. This I did if I had not done, but Sony as they had tried to keep the laptop as flat as possible, it is quite understandable. I find it really disturbing because I still only my wireless mouse inplug. Integrated wifi works great. Within 2 minutes after opening the box I was already on the world-wide-web. He has a 54 Mbps connection so he is also nice and quick (especially when transfer files from one computer to another). , the CD / DVD drive makes little noise when I watch a DVD watching. You hear buzzing him, but I'm far from distracting. Conclusion Sony is not a cheap brand. A laptop with the same specs you could get cheaper easy example look at Acer. What was the deciding factor for me was both quality and design. For example, touch once again with a nail on your acer's housing. That sounds very different than if you would do with a Sony Vaio. Same So you paid more for the same specs, but you get more quality and a breathtaking display in return. The only thing bothers me about this device (especially in the beginning), the huge amount of software. This delayed startup tremendously, although this is not too bad in the sleep mode. I therefore immediately what programs uninstalled. I have to say that Sony has beautiful and useful programs to do, beautiful photo and video editing software, and a kind of media center from Sony which also works great and looks. Hereby I can conclude that I absolutely do not regret buying this splendor device. The only thing I would like to change is just a little more memory, 512MB is sometimes just a little too much, because the graphics card also nibble of this memory. But that is no reason for me to count for another Sony Vaio FS315 that has more memory and a Centrino M. nearly 300-400 euros more down
