Sony VAIO FW-270j: A smart piece of Pricing
By James • Jan 12th, 2009 • Category: LaptopsGet ready to welcome a stunning new jewel into your lives. No, I am seriously not talking about gold, silver, or for that matter diamond jewellery; I’m talking about a laptop with an appearance to die for. The product in question, the Sony VAIO FW-270j, is also an awesomely powerful multimedia device with an adorable 16.4” display, and is equipped with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The device is delightfully competent when it comes to handling a number of popular formats, with its standard Blu-ray player and HDMI port, which are a part of the entire package.
One of the major strategies adopted by the company is to keep the price of the product considerably so that it manages to create a niche for itself in the competitive multimedia market. And if recent indications are anything to go by, then the policy has done wonders for the product’s reception. The notebook is essentially an improvement over the Sony Vaio VGN-FW21E. Given the FW-270j’s inexpensive nature, the specifications, which include an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26GHz processor, as well as a solid 4GB RAM and 320GB HDD, become all the more impressive.
Despite being 1600×900, the Sony laptop is HD-friendly, although the display quality of the unit is a bit of a letdown as the resolution stands at a toned down 720p. Nevertheless, you will love the intensity of the back lighting when set on maximum levels, as it effectively eliminates glare from the glossy screen. Moreover, you can benefit from the flexibility provided by the large display screen as it can be manipulated to suit various viewing angles, whether vertical or horizontal.
The connectivity of the unit is not something to drool for, but it does have sufficient features to fulfill your primary requirements. Prominent connections include- an HDMI port, but 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth, making for a convenient operation.
