My Vaio FE790 shipped =)

Should be here in 2-3 days!

 

im gonna order mine too in a few days...
do tell me how u find it when it arrives...
ciao and best of luck !

 

And you plan to do a full review, complete with hi-res photos...right

 

This thread is useless without - yes you guessed it right, PICS!!

 

Delayed shipping. It should be here today via FedEx. And yes, I plan to take lots of pictures...and eventually when I learn more about it, a review.

I can hardly wait. This will be a long day of school.

 

At least give us early impressions if no review. Keyboard feel, screen quality, etc.

 

YES! I finally got it. I will take pictures and post them here along with my thoughts on the system.

First impressions while playing around for 1 hour: AMAZING screen!! I have never seen such a screen before...the detail is beautiful. The build quality is great. The entire piece is sturdy and well built. The keyboard is awesome...More details later!

 

How is the sound on it?How does it play games, please post some pics soon I'm thinking about buying one too.

 

The sound is good -- not as low as people have complained about. I think Sony heard the stories of how the FE had crappy sound -- and they must have changed it. Its not the loudest speakers in the world, don't misunderstand, but I am satisfied with them. Pictures later tonight/tomorrow.

 

Hi! I'm Interested if Vaio's Fe790 series has glossy screen!!! I'm waiting response please!

 

I guess he wasn't too impressed with it or he likes it too much to tear himself away and put some pics and a small review of it up.Oh well maybe some site will eventually put up a review.Seems like this happens all the time, people get a new comp and say they are going to post more then they dissapear never to be heard from again.

 

Can u take some picture to the screen in detail, to see if it has a glass sceen like a x-black (from Europe)? And other more picture with it. Tnk

Cause I want to buy this model from US (I'm in Europe ) In US is more chiper than here. And in Europe have glass screen (x-black exemple: with 2 lamp) but in US i don't have write anywere is it have.

Tnk for every body

 

since that other dude, didn't answer... i ordered and received a fe770 last week. this is essentially the same computer as the fe790. i picked the 770 because it has a faster processor (T5600), faster hard drive (5400rpm, but 40gb smaller), and supposedly longer battery life (up to 4 hrs). anyway, the build quality and screen of the two are exactly the same.

the screen is unbelievable, absolutely the best i've ever used. it is glossy/reflective, but not overly so. i haven't had a problem using it in a really sunny room... but haven't tried it outside yet. in the end, the screen was the reason i was willing to pay a little more for a sony.

build quality is good, though compared to the dell it's replacing, anything would be good. haven't had any problems with dirt or scratches on the white casing yet, but it's only been a week. keyboard and touch pad are fine, easy to use, and no noticable flex or significant warmth under the hands. i haven't tested the 4 hour battery life claim yet. [Edit: Also, the speakers are ok. Not great, but ok. Max volume is lower than I would have expected, but certainly audible and useable. For watching video clips on the internet, it's fine; if you're listening to music, you probably want speakers.]

the only complaint so far is the incredible amount of advertising and sony-branded crap that came on the computer. if you don't want to reinstall XP from scratch, it'll take you a good few hours to delete it all and dig its hooks out of your system.

 

LOL. Don't worry...Yes I have been attached to this computer for hours and hours and days and days. My boyfriend isn't too happy with that!

I started writing the review last night -- with lots of closeup pictures with a new Sony digital camera I gave my BF for an early birthday. The reason it has taken me this long is because I want to write a good review. Afterall, I would not buy a computer if someone wrote an awesome review and only had the computer for 2 days. In all of these days I've been testing the HD, CPU, GPU, running games, tweaks (CPU + services), etc.

The FE is beautiful. And it runs perfectly -- you'll see soon.

 

Nice, please hurry I am impatient.Also get rid of the BF so you can spend more personal time with the sony ).
