CNET Reviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Sony makes some of the best-looking multimedia laptops out there, and the 3D Vaio F215FX is no exception. But you'll have to be willing to pay extra for that sharp design.

The $1,799 VAIO is a compelling multimedia laptop for those who crave 3D. The 240-MHz, full-HD screen combined with Nvida's 3DVision technology adds a new level of enjoyment to watching movies and playing games. We also like the backlit keyboard on this 16-inch notebook, as well as the sleek design. While the 3D experience isn't as immersive, some may prefer the HP Envy 3D. For $200 less, that machine offers much faster frame rates. And consumers willing to sacrifice performance and 3D quality in favor of affordability and longer battery life will want to check out the $999 Fujitsu LifeBook AH572. Overall, though, the VAIO F 3D is a tempting choice for media mavens searching for a high-quality 3D experience.

As configured, our laptop cost just under $1900, which is fairly pricey for what we got. Overall, the VAIO F-Series appears to be a solid multimedia PC with limited gaming chops and a crisp display that is perfectly capable of showing off stereoscopic 3D movies. But the beauty is entirely under the hood: If you don't mind the unsightly exterior and are willing to pay the Sony premium, the F-Series is worth a closer look.

The Sony VAIO F is an overall well-rounded desktop replacement multimedia notebook. Highlights include excellent performance, a good keyboard, and a nice array of input/output ports. The biggest downside is the lackluster design, which is unusual for Sony; the VAIO F looks rather generic. The display is equally disappointing; it is washed out and dull. Lastly, the screen resolution is only 900p, not 1080p as it should be since this notebook has a Blu-ray player. Overall we can recommend the VAIO F – it is not a jack of all trades by any means but accomplishes most of what Sony designed it to do.

All told, the Sony VAIO F Series is the best all-around entertainment notebook we’ve seen. It delivers a better 3D experience than the Acer, Lenovo, and HP models we’ve tested, and it can handle mid-level gaming to boot. If 3D movies and gaming are frequent parts of your entertainment regimen, and you want a future-proof platform as more titles become available, the F Series is an excellent choice—and about as good as it gets today.
