It has been a whole year since Sony announced the new row VAIO FW. If Sony can do something very well then it is multimedial notebook. The design is still very interesting for any customer and the display is really good for watching films or playing games.

Display and graphics
16,4“ ratio 16:9 has Full HD (1920x1080). Display is glossy and backlight is made from two light tubes. For a notebook this display is very good, just one small problem are darker places on the side due to the no-led backlight. When working you will not recognize but if you have just white screen you can see that.
There is a bigger jump on the GPU from the last model - previous Radeon HD3470 was replaced by much better Radeon HD4650 with 512MB GDDR3
Tests 3D Mark
- 3DMark 2001: 25 785
- 3DMark 03: 15 569
- 3DMark 05: 11 048
- 3DMark 06: 5781
Cooling
Considering the fact that there is much better GPU the cooling system remains well made and there is no overheating. The cooling system is not loud and suitable for this type of notebook.
Battery
There is 53Wh battery. Notebook can work 3 hours and 29 minutes, thats not that bad because the GPU consumes alot of power.
Conclusion
+ good battery lifetime
+ very good display
- USB ports are not very well placed
- Sides of display are not backlighted properly
