Can you identify this VAIO?

Hello, I'm new to the forum but hope somebody can help me!

I'm trying to find out the model number / tech specs of this Sony VAIO laptop:



I won it on ebay but haven't paid for it yet - it was listed as a VGN-FW51JF/H but after rooting around on Google I'm not convinced that it is!

I have contacted the seller and asked them to confirm the model number, however I thought I'd also ask elsewhere in the meantime.

The seller has impeccable feedback so it could be a genuine mistake on their part. If the laptop isn't the model advertised, I may still buy it assuming that its specs are still good enough for what I require.

Thanks in advance for your help

seems to be very very old... about 9 yrs old... no body uses 1.2GHz pentium M right now with 256MB ram . definitely it's not FW.

 

Looks like a VGN-FS to me.
No, that's not about 9 years old. More like five.

 

i'm just exaggerating since it's not a worth to buy laptop and i will go with asus eee instead

 

Yes, it is FS series with Celeron processor, 512MB.
If you got it below $200, it's worth to buy.
I have sold couple of them for $250 + shipping. However, mine comes with Pentium M.

 

Thank you very much for the responses. The seller has contacted me with the actual model number: PCG 7D1M

Only info I could find was this:

"Sony model PCG-7D1M . Intel pentium M 740. 1,73ghz / 512 mb/ 80 gb/dvd layer dvd-rw/video: nvidia geforce 6400 cu turbocache 128 mb!"

Not quite as snazzy as the FW, then!

Seems it was a genuine mistake, but rather disappointing nontheless.

 

I doubt it is Pentium M 740 and nVIDIA since I saw Celeron logo on palm rest.
PCG-7D1M does not say accurately to its VGN model.
However, 7Dxx is equal to US FS7xx model.

 

Hmm, the plot thickens!

However, I am going to take the easy option as it sounds like it will inevitably be less well-spec'd than than my current laptop - the seller admits they are at fault and will not kick up a fuss if I decide not to buy it, therefore that's the route I'm going to take!

Thank you once again for all your help. Still got my eye on some other VAIOs so maybe I will be back here talking to you all again soon!

All the best
Andy

 

It does indeed!

Same outer shell perhaps?
