Sony VAIO(R) VPCF121FX/H F Series 16.4" Notebook PC - Titanium Gray Review
I actually bought the VPC-F121GX from a known member-only warehouse. For ,099, you get Win7 Pro instead of Win7 Home on F121FX (note the slight model difference). However, I bought the display unit for another 10% off since that was the very last unit they had.
I love the feel and layout of this Vaio keyboard. The brightness control of screen is also very user friendly because it adds automatic brightness adjustment in addition to the user defined brightness level. Initially, I was fooled into thinking the LCD is defective/infurior because it is very dim and I had already turned the brightness to maximum. By accident, I tunred on my desk lamp which shined brightly right onto the LCD, BANG, Vaio automatically cranked up the LCD brightness to compensate for the extra lighting from desk lamp. That's when I realized this feature, which I came to love. With other laptops, I often had to manually adjust LCD brightness based on the ambient lighting condition. keyboard light also turns on automatically if it detects that the surrounding is too dark.
The other thing I really like about this Vaio is that it's probably the lightest in its class. It probably is also the thinest and smallest it its class. Overall, I love the user experience of this Vaio.
I am taking 1 star off due to the price. I think the price can be a bit cheaper. Then again, Sony products tend to be costing just a bit more than other brands.
The hardware configuration of Vaio matches better on how I use the laptop. However, it isn't the best bang for the buck. I still think the best bang for the buck is Asus G51JX-X5, which I paid ,150 recently. However, G51JX-X5 is a gaming laptop and I don't play any games. In the back of my mind, I paid something for the supposedly game-grade graphics capability, which I may never use. That is one major reason that I decided to also buy this Sony Vaio.
If you are gamer, I'd recommend buying G51. If you don't play games and appreciate user experience, buy this Vaio.
