Sony VAIO VGN-FS660 notebook Review

The slim and leightweight Centrino-based VAIO FS VGN-FS660 laptop is equipped with a 15.4-inch widescreen LCD display and is powered by Intel's Pentium M 740 (1.73GHz). It has 1GB of DDR2 memory, a 80GB HDD and a DVD+RW Double Layer optical drive. Of course it also has Wi-Fi connectivity. Here's a review from a happy user:

I've had this laptop now for 2 months. Burns, cds and dvds with no problem. Comes with lots of useful software and some not so useful software. I love Sonic Stage for my music library. Plays games like EVE Online, Lineage II, City of Heroes, and a list of others just great. Nice thing is you can build your recovery disc set using cds and dvds then rebuild the laptop with just the software you want on it to relieve some of the initial clutter. I've heard some people say the battery life isn't what it claims to be but I've gotten 2.5 hours out of it, maybe longer. You must use the ultimate battery setting from the sony battery control panel to get this. The only problem I've had with this was when I tried to run Windows XP Pro on it. Everything installed just fine except the onboard sound card wouldn't run under XP Pro and I couldn't find a driver that worked for it so I went back to XP Home edition that came with it. I've had no issues whatsoever with its wireless setup. I've traveled quite a bit since I've had it and have connected to dozens of different networks with no hassle whatsoever. I'd recommend this laptop to anybody looking for great performance and flexibility.
