Sony VAIO VPCF13Z0E review

Pleasing is the word that best describes the Sony VAIO VPCF13Z0E. Like most of the Sony VAIO range, it doesn’t come cheap. The thousand pound threshold is really divisive when buying a computer. In personal experience there’s very little disappointment when the line is crossed since you tend to get forward thinking technology, and the VAIO VPCF13Z0E is chock full of that.

What we like best:

The added features you won’t find on lesser laptops include ambient light sensors to automatically adjust your screen to the right setting for minimum eyestrain. You’ll also find some of the most recent ports like FireWire and USB 3.0, which are coming to dominate adaptor connections.

The VAIO label assures you style and comfort, and with the VPCF13Z0E you get clean lines and a light laptop. It also has a patterned hand rest. Beneath the shell this laptop is a titan, with graphic specs capable of handling the latest games, through the NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU. If you don’t mind upping the price a bit more an Intel Core i7 processor will add years to the lifespan of your computer allowing it to keep up with the development curve of technology.

What we like least:

The normal laptop complaints such as poor quality speakers have been well heeded with the VPCF13Z0E. Surround sound Dolby Home Theater along with the great VAIO Display Premium on a 16.4 inch screen make this a perfect multimedia module. Though it fast the VAIO team are rather eager to please with the provided software which is a bit bloated unless you install wisely.
