If you're ready to max-out your entertainment experience, then consider the Sony VAIO® F Series Notebook PC VPCF11MFX/B. This mammoth laptop comes pre-loaded with the maximum configuration, and it also features the latest technology. Although this model will be clearly out of the price range of many budgets, if you want extreme functionality then this is definitely the laptop to consider. Not only does it boast features that the majority of notebooks lack, but it also offers consumers a taste of the future. The Sony VAIO VPCF11MFX/B measures approximately 15.3" x 1.62" x 10.4" and weighs 6.9 lbs. One of the upsides to purchasing a notebook in the VAIO F Series is that such models come with the latest and greatest technology. This particular laptop includes a 16.4" full-HD LCD display, which is much larger than most notebook displays. The VPCF11MFX/B also features TransferJet technology, which allows transfers from compatible cameras simply by placing the device on the notebook's palm rest. Because this model is large and has relatively short battery life, it is only for the most serious home or office user who has ultimate multimedia and multitasking in mind.
FeaturesWhen it comes to features and enhancements, this notebook pretty much has it all. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) helps bring it all together. The Intel Core i7-720QM (1.60GHz) processor that operates at up to 2.8GHz with Turbo Boost is impressive in itself. Quad-core processors are rare in a notebook, so this one is especially noticeable. The onboard 8GB DDR3 RAM is likewise enticing, as is the 640GB hard drive. Other goodies include a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M GPU with 1GB dedicated RAM, Blu-Ray/DVD/CD burner, HDMI, eSATA, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, i.LINK (IEEE 1394), and wireless 802.11b/g/n networking. PerformanceDespite a few annoyances, such as fairly short battery life, a noisy fan, and only two USB ports, the Sony VAIO F Series VPCF11MFX/B is perhaps one of the most impressive notebooks for the price regarding performance and features alike. The quad-core processor, combined with 8GB DDR3 RAM, basically turns this innocent notebook into a powerhouse dedicated to gaming and multimedia functionality. With current offerings on the laptop market, you will definitely want to consider this computer if you want high-quality features and ultimate performance. SummaryThough this may not be the "perfect" notebook (and it is far from being the most portable), consumers are pleased about the number of features and capabilities, as well as the quad-core performance once exclusive to desktops. The price may scare away budget-shy consumers, but ultimately you must weigh the cost to the benefits. In the case of the Sony VAIO F Series VPCF11MFX/B notebook, it appears that the benefits clearly outweigh the cost. Pros
