Looking at Sony VGN-FW190 - Blu-ray Forum

jeevez · 10-22-2008, 02:57 AM

I am thinking about getting this laptop for general purpose school work and multimedia playback, along with maybe some light gaming(I have a PS3 and gaming PC that never gets used since I got my PS3). Does anyone have this laptop and if so how do you have it configured? Is it worth the $150 dollars to get a blu-ray drive in it? I am up to about 12 blu-ray movies right now but plan on getting a lot more as my budget permits. I'm just looking for anyone on here's opinion on this laptop or for any other comparable suggestions. Thanks.

Love to get an FW, currently broke so it's not going to happen.

I have two(2) AR Series BD laptops.
Great machines!

Cool, thanks guys. Any other suggestions as to similar laptops? I'm looking for something with:

Core 2 Duo 2.26Ghz and up
3 or 4GB Ram
15-16" Screen
Preferable 16:9 aspect
Builtin bluetooth and camera
Blu-ray(optional)
$1500 - $1600 CAD tops
Good battery life
Hard drive size is of no concern(160gb is plenty, I have external for media server)

Thanks.
