Laptop Computer Reviews

A perfect mix of performance and style, the slim, lightweight Sony VAIO VPC-CW13FX/B laptop computer shows off your passion for fashion while still offering impressive mobile computing power. The glossy finish is splashed across the exterior while a gradient color on the palm rest provides the laptop with a head-to-toe color coordinated impression. And everything looks better on the ultra-bright, 14-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, which features impressive color saturation and razor-sharp detail. You'll also appreciate the 16:9 aspect ratio that helps eliminate those annoying black bars and the anti-glare coating for easier viewing in direct sunlight.

And with the HDMI A/V output, you can connect the VAIO to a compatible HDTV to display your creations to a larger audience.Pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (64-bit version), you'll be able to easily create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music.
