CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.4

The good: If this 16-inch laptop is any indication, the Centrino 2 platform offers excellent battery life; a 16:9 screen perfect for HD movies; excellent keyboard; attractive, simple design.

The bad: No immediate performance gains seen here from Centrino 2; screen not really true 1080p despite the sticker on the system that says so; clicky media buttons seem old-fashioned; still some advertising clutter, but less than previous VAIO models.

The bottom line: Sony's smart design, long battery life, and a big 16-inch screen, make the VAIO FW140--the first Centrino 2 laptop we've reviewed--an excellent and portable media hub.
