1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD+R Dbl Layer/DVD+/-RW Drive) Pros and Cons
Welcome
to the Sony VAIO VGN-FS660/W 15.4" Notebook PC (Intel Pentium M Processor 740
(Centrino), 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD+R Dbl Layer/DVD+/-RW Drive) Pros and
Cons page:
Pros: Very nice design and the display is very good. Very powerful
and fast.
Cons: 1. The battery lasts for only 1.5 hour configured with
the highest battery
saving option (Lowest Screen Brightness etc.) while using
only internet (no heavy apps) !!!
I have tested it with many options but you
don't go above 1.5 hours.
The life span for these type of batteries are 500
cycles charge/dishcharge.
Con 2. 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. You can search for this problem on GOOGLE and see
that lots of people
have this unsolved issue !!!
Sony support was unable to solve this issue,
Intel and Sony blame each other.
I managed somehow to solve this problem after
3 Days, non-stop sitting with the laptop.
The only way is to uninsatll the
9.0 version and download the 8.0 version from Intel
and install both Software
and Drivers from Intel and let Intel's software manage your
Wireless instead
of Windows XP.
Con 3. The maximum RAM which can be installed is up to
1GB.
Buy the Sony VAIO VGN-FS660/W 15.4" Notebook PC (Intel Pentium M Processor
740 (Centrino), 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD+R Dbl Layer/DVD+/-RW Drive)
