Bought a New Sony Vaio FW

[Ralph23]

Alright, lets get some feedback from some of the hardcore techies out there. I'm definitely an above average computer user. I'm always working in Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop making animations and website designs. I'm also big on coding and managing websites. There's always time for some gaming too, nothing major, (Warrock, if you must know).

So how good (or bad) did I do? I focussed on performance and I wanted a laptop that would run awesome no matter what I throw at it.


Sony Vaio FW (Custom-To-Order) ($1400 after coupons)

* Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
* Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53GHz)
* 3 GB DDR2 Ram (Might upgrade to 4)
* ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 with 512MB vRAM
* LCD 16.4" (XBRITE-FullHD)
* Titanium Gray Color

Think I should upgrade to 4GB ram? is it going to make a noticeable difference?

Input welcomed

Looks good, if battery life isn't an issue might as well go with 17'' if it is available. 4 gig of RAM would also help in a 64 bit environment and multi tasking with adobe products.

Thanks. I'm probably gonna pick up a 2GB stick of ram when I'm out at BestBuy soon.

The FW series is unique in that it is the only laptop with a 16.4" screen. Extra wide, great for movies too. Hope I'll like it.

Double check to ensure you can add 3 gig. Sometimes system boards only allow a certain maximum amount.
