Sony VAIO F Series VPCF12FFX
$1,160.00
Released August, 2010
The Pros:Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics and i7 processor can still handle newer games. Comes standard with Windows 7 Ultimate rather than the typical Home Edition. Built-in speakers perform decently for stock laptop units, projecting sound quite well.
The Cons:Fairly heavy even for its size at 6.4 lbs. Poor battery life compared to newer Sandy Bridge equivalents. Keyboard lacks a num pad despite the size of the unit.
The VPCF12FFX is a mid-range, 16.4" entertainment notebook computer. The laptop utilizes a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor which can be dramatically overclocked from 1.73 to 2.93 GHz, and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM.

It adds entry-level discrete graphics, hoping to appeal to casual gamers. A Blu-ray drive and HDMI output allow the notebook to play HD movies as part of a home theater setup, while Dolby Home Theater audio and a 1080p resolution enable a superior movie-watching experience on the notebook itself. Bluetooth and wireless-n are standard, but the VPCF12FFX is not highly portable, weighing over 6 lbs. Despite only 3 hours of battery life with a standard-capacity battery, the VPCF12FFX qualifies for Energy Star.
