Product Description
The Basics:
Sony itself describes its VAIO VGN-FS630/W 15.4-inch Notebook PC as "balanced", and few could argue the point. While some notebooks feature a few ultra-high-end components that may not make much of a difference in the real world because they're surrounded by so many mid-grade components, the VAIO VGN-FS630/W is sensibly designed from top to bottom to meet the needs of the average notebook user while also keeping typical budgets in mind. There are no weak spots; there are no high-cost "surprises". Though you can find smaller notebooks and you can find more powerful notebooks, you won't find many that so expertly furnish such a winning combination of desirable attributes, portability and price as the VAIO VGN-FS630/W.
Processor:
Some of today's notebooks are equipped with high-end CPUs on par with those found in top-of-the-line desktop PCs, while others are quick enough only for basic duties such as word processing, e-mail and the like. The VAIO VGN-FS630/W is equipped with an Intel Pentium M processor 740 running at 1.73 GHz. This is one of three components comprising Intel's efficient Centrino system (the others being a specialized Intel chipset and integrated wireless support). Centrino-equipped notebooks are generally smaller, easier on the batteries, and more versatile than their non-Centrino counterparts. This particular CPU is part of Intel's upgraded Pentium M lineup, featuring a whopping 2 MB of Level 2 cache for extremely fast access to your most utilized information. Though its overall speed is not on par with that of a high-end Intel Pentium 4, this CPU will easily handle all common mobile tasks without prematurely draining your battery.
Memory:
Computers typically store information on their hard drive, but they also keep frequently and recently accessed data in Random Access Memory (RAM) for faster retrieval. More RAM means more efficient computing, superior multitasking and less strain on your hard drive. The VAIO VGN-FS630/W incorporates 512 MB of PC-2700 333 MHz DDR memory. This is a typical allotment and speed for a midlevel notebook, and quite adequate for virtually any application or multitasking situation you're likely to encounter in the foreseeable future. That said, the unit does permit upgrades to its maximum of 1024 MB RAM.
Video:
CPU's are usually so busy with basic calculations that they need help translating visual output to the viewing screen. This is the duty of the graphics card (or graphics controller). Generally, a controller with dedicated video memory is far preferable to one with "shared" video memory, wherein the graphics controller appropriates a portion of the main system memory. Nevertheless, many notebooks utilize shared memory controllers to keep the overall cost in check and because of obvious space restrictions. Such is the case with this system, which incorporates an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. The advantage of this comparatively new controller over other shared memory controllers is twofold¡ªit utilizes more refined components, and it commandeers more of the system's memory (up to 128 MB). Still, though it will effectively display 2D and the majority of 3D applications and games, the system won't satisfy hardcore gamers or demanding 3D graphic artists who need powerful 3D performance.
Display:
The VAIO VGN-FS630/W features a 15.4-inch WXGA widescreen display that allows you to watch DVD movies and play the latest games in their full panoramic glory. Its 1280 by 800 maximum resolution offers enough detail for even the pickiest digital photo tweaker, and Sony's XBRITE Technology provides a brighter, more compelling picture than older and/or less efficient notebooks.
Hard Disk:
The integrated 80 GB hard disk, equivalent to what you'll find in some of today's desktop PCs, and is a welcome perk for those who require a smaller notebook but also keep a library of space-gobbling music and/or multimedia files.
Optical Drive:
An optical drive is essential in today's computing environment. A "CD-ROM" drive allows you to install CD-based applications and play music CDs. A "CD-RW" drive adds CD burning, so you can also backup your important files to long lasting discs and create personalized music CDs. With a DVD-ROM drive you can watch DVD movies, and a DVD-RW drive allows you to "write" home movies to durable discs and archive files to DVD (DVDs boast more than seven times the storage capacity of a CD). The latest optical drive technology involves "double layer" DVDs, each of which sports double the capacity of a standard DVD. This system features a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive that doesn't support double layer DVDs and won't permit DVD burning.
Audio:
The VAIO VGN-FS630/W is equipped with two miniature stereo speakers, a mini microphone jack and a stereo mini headphone jack.
Keyboard and Controls:
You'll control your notebook via an 86-key keyboard and standard electro-static touch pad.
Connectivity and Expansion:
The VAIO VGN-FS630/W offers a wide variety of ways to keep in touch, including a 56K modem for low-speed dial-up Internet and email access, a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port for high-speed wired network and Internet, and an integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 2200b/g Network Connection (802.11b/g) for fast cord-free e-communication at home, at the office or on the road via a public hotspot via today's two most popular wireless formats, Wireless-B and Wireless-G. Other key amenities include three high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play devices such as external drives and digital cameras, an IEEE 1394 FireWire port (commonly used for data uploads from digital camcorders), a Memory Stick media slot for reading Memory Stick memory cards, and provisions for a Port Replicator interface (3 USB 2.0, Ethernet, VGA, DVI-D, printer, DC in).
Operating System and Software:
Sony will preload today's most popular operating system, Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition, and a versatile application package that includes Microsoft's Works 8.0 productivity suite, Intuit's Quicken 2005 New User Edition financial package, and an impressive assortment of Sony's highly-respected photo, music and video utilities.
Dimensions and Weight:
Notebook computers are manufactured in a wide variety of sizes and weights. Many of today's most powerful notebooks are also the largest, weighing ten or twelve lbs or more and therefore too big and cumbersome for extensive, continuous traveling. These are often referred to as "desktop replacements". On the other extreme are "thin and lights" or "ultra-portables", super-miniaturized units that typically aren't as powerful as their larger brethren but weigh as little as two lbs and will often fit comfortably inside a large purse. The VAIO VGN-FS660/W is marginally smaller than today's median notebook size at 6.28 lbs (with standard battery) and 14.33 by 10.41 by 1.0-1.41 inches.
Power:
The unit is equipped with a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery that delivers an impressive 2.5 - 5.5 hours between charges.
