Sony Vaio CW 16FG/P Notebook Sony's ultraportable Vaio range has long been a popular choice for business users requiring a light yet powerful laptop. The CW 16FGIP is the latest in Sony's line-up and does not buck the trend in terms of performance or portability.
The VAIO CW 16FGIP comes in 5 eye catching colours with stunning finish. Though it looks a bit bulky, but this is dispelled once you pick up the notebook. The laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Sony has opted for a Core 2 Duo P8700 processor to do the leg work; this runs at 2.53GHz and is one of Intel's fastest mobile CPUs. 4GB of DDR3 memory backs the processor, while storage is provided by a 320GB hard drive. Graphic power is provided by NVidia GeForce 230M GT with 512MB GDDR3 memory. Open the lid, and you are greeted by a 14in LED backlit display. Reflections are kept to a minimum, with a high resolution of 1,366 x 768 providing a decent amount of desktop space to work with. The LCD backlit display is both brighter and less of a drain on the battery compared to traditional displays.
Sony has stuck to its usual Vaio keyboard design, where each key pops out of its individual slot in the chassis. They feel a little soft during typing, but overall we were impressed with the keys. The geometric trackpad is similarly responsive.
