Anyone have the Sony VAIO F1190 BD laptop? - Blu-ray Forum

Rike255 · 01-29-2010, 06:35 PM

I'm looking to buy one, but I can't find any pictures of it online. Could you upload or send me a few pics of the notebook (front, back, bottom, keyboard, etc) so I can see it? I'm a little particular about the layout/design of the laptop.

Here's one pic (I think that's the right model).
Thanks!

I have had the new VIAO for few weeks. Actually managed to convince a BB sales rep to give it to me a few days pre-release. I have been playing with it for while now and can honestly say it puts everything in the same price class to shame. That being said, be ready to go insane trying to customize the Screen Settings. What a total pain-in-the-ass. In fact, I never even noticed the much lamented humming because I was to busy trying to figure out why everything looked like it was shot night-for-day. There was no obvious fix. Took me a crap load of exploration to fix that issue. There is pretty much zero as far as instuctionals, no system discs included and an absolutely embrassing battery life considering the bulk size of said battery. But honestly... who cares. This baby is fast. Only uses 3 to 4% of the CPU to drive 1080p vids. Once the BD drive gets going it is near dead silent, pretty decent sound out of the speakers, absolutely flawless vid and gaming with no heating issues. I have yet to find a single need for the BOOST feature. But love that it exists. After the GETTING TO KNOW YOU PHASE there is literally nothing bad I can say about this unit less some minor glaring issues. Will happily take some fresh shots of it from all angles. The back lit keyboard alone is worth witnessing. Just love it.
