Sony Vaio VGN-FS660/W Laptop Review

Sony Vaio VGN-FS660/W Laptop

This is a disappointing product released by Sony ever!

Heard from a friend that it offered an adequate array of features but not enough performance to justify its super high price! We strong recommend that this is not worth the price at all!

Listed below are the NOT WORTH BUYING points:

  1. The battery life is horrible! It can only lasts for about 1.5 hour configured with the highest battery saving option (Lowest Screen Brightness etc.) while using only internet (no heavy applications) !!! Many other users of Sony Vaio VGN-FS660/W laptop have also made complaints about the short battery life of this laptop. Seems like there is no solution to the short battery life.
  2. The maximum RAM which can be installed is only up to 1GB. So if you intend to have a more powerful system, just too bad !!!
  3. The Intel 2200BG Wireless Card which comes with this laptop and also other laptops such as DELL, have a major problem of a "Lost connection" where you get disconnected every 1 minute for a 10-30 seconds. This is irritating!! You can search for this problem on GOOGLE and see that lots of people have this unresolved issue !!! Sony support was unable to solve this issue, and Intel and Sony is blaming each other for this. I managed somehow to solve this problem after 3 Days, non-stop sitting with the laptop.

Conclusion: Paying a very high price for a Sony Vaio VGN-FS660/W Laptop but we don't
get what we expected out of such a highly priced laptop. Disappointing!
