Sony Vaio FS515E ... Win XP Home - 15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) / Ultra-slim and lightweight, but packed with power thanks to the latest Intel Centrino technology, the VAIO FS series notebook from Sony is specifically designed to meet the needs of demanding but value-conscious consumers. Standout features include multiformat Double Layer DVD and widescreen displays enhanced with new generation exclusive Sony X-black LCD technology.

The distinctive styling of the FS series also conceals a practical dimension. The aesthetic appeal of its slim line profile is backed up by robust yet lightweight magnesium alloy construction. The combination of thin-format design and the choice of materials also means a carrying weight of only 2.8kg.

The low weight is even more impressive considering that every model in the range benefits from a large, 15.4-inch widescreen display. The high resolution wide XGA panel is perfect for watching DVDs and gives users the freedom to work with several applications at a time. Better yet, second generation Sony X-black LCD enhancement with double lamp technology yields a visibly brighter picture with more vibrant colors and heightened contrast.

Product: 15.4" screen Laptop Make: Sony, VAIO Features: XP, Service pack 2 Price: Varied This Sony VAIO Laptop is stylish, powerful, fast active, and easy to use, this laptop is exactly like the one I own. Mine is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with service packed 2, it has a 15.4" WXGA (1280x800) X-black LCD flat screen, and runs on 512MB DDR2 SDRAM (533 MHz).

Premium Review VAIO, how do you pronounce it? (422 words)

I got my VAIO laptop for around £550. After searching the internet at the time for it I found it was the best laptop I could find for its price. It came pre-installed with XP Home and a neat software bundle including Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere, both of which I have found very useful. Looks wise, I think it looks great. Its very thin compared to other laptops especially the screen and therefore it makes itself very easy to transport around. It has a nice contrast of the colours black and grey and overall I think its looks are top notch. Computing wise its power isn't great with an Intel Celeron M processor which aren't renound for their ...  Read the complete review
