Hey Migu did your new lappy arrive? How about a review and pictures?
Shure, if you're interested.
Yes it arrived on monday and I really love this laptop.
First the looks: Vaio models always tend to have nice looks and manage to hide bulkiness. This model is no exception.
Its colour is a mixture of matte grey/black which is very nice.
The keyboard is very, very good. Typing is so much fun on this. Sadly while US models have backlit keyboards, EU versions don't.
On the other hand EU got a Premium Full HD matte screen, which is not available in the US.
And damn this screen is nice. Vaios are well known for their good screens and this one is fantastic.
Nice colours and brightness (which is adjusted automatically by a sensor) combined with full HD resolution and the blu-ray burner = awesome!
The performance of this laptop is also great, although I haven't made intensive testing yet.
Only played tf2 till now, need to do some photoshop testing etc, but I guess it'll do great with 8gig of fast ddr3 ram.
The "problem" a lot of people seem to have with this laptop is the fan noise.
It does get pretty loud while doing heavy stuff like games etc, but I does not really bother me. The laptop stays very cool, and that is more important.
Oh battery life is also pretty short, you can get about max 2 hours of it. This is not important as it will be plugged in almost all the time because it is a desktop replacement for me.
So, there's your short review, hope to read about your impressions when you get your machine!
As for pics, I don't have a good camera around so I can't post any. But if you want to see pics google for Vaio F series and you'll find plenty.
