Sony VAIO CW

If you remember, Sony announced a couple new notebooks with quite aggressive price tags just a few of weeks back. Along with the super sexy 'X' series, we also have the mainstream CW series which is what we've got for review today. Until now, if you wanted a solid performing multimedia notebook that was reasonably priced, we had just two major options, either a Dell or an HP. Now, Sony is all set to enter this space and compete with the bigwigs in this category. 





The VPCCW16FG/P that we got for review comes packed with plenty of brute force. For starters, we have an Intel Core2Duo P8700 running at 2.5GHz in the heart of the notebook. We have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for proper utilization of the 4GB DDR3 memory. The best bit is the graphics card which is Nvidia's latest GT 230M which comes with 512MB of GDDR3 RAM. If this is anything like the GT220, which is the desktop variant, we can easily expect some good gaming performance. To view all this goodness, we have a 14-inch LED backlit display.

Apart from the good specifications, being a Sony, the build quality of the notebook is very good with strong plastics used for the chassis. You get multiple colors to choose from and following the tradition, Sony sends us a pink notebook for review.

Bundle

There wasn't much of a bundle provided other than the charger since this was a review piece but checking the site, the retail piece as well will come with just a charger and battery as standard with other optional accessories available.
