Sony VAIO FS680 Laptop Review

I’ve used Sony Laptops all my life, and have always been satisfied. So when it came time to look for a new one since the current one just wasn’t up to speed anymore I went looking for something new and fresh in their range. So I ended up purchasing a laptop from the Sony VAIO FS series, being the Sony VAIO FS680 laptop. The choice was made with the 15.4” screen I was looking for in mind. This model from the FS series was actually the lightest notebook available when it was released and I believe it still is. Although the VAIO FS Series is very light it is more designed for home use rather than a mobile machine to take out and about with you, as the battery life isn’t the best. To sum up the best features it has a great screen, a nice, easy to use keyboard, a very decent video card (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 w/ 128MB of Ram) plus it has 1 GB of RAM and an 80 GB hard drive. All of this and much more making it one of the most powerful laptops on the market. I know I’ll be happy with it for many years to come.
