Sony Viao FS-790: A Review
I recently bought a Sony FS-790 with the following specs:
- 2.0 GHz P-M
- 1.5GB RAM
- NVIDIA 6400Go
- 120GB Hard Drive
- DVD R/W
- 15″ Widescreen
- Built in 802.11g
The system is great. The display is super brite, the battery lasts 4 to 4.5 hours, depending on what kind of use (word processing v.s. watching movies), and the graphics card is fairly powerful. The form factor is great, too. It’s large, but very slim and light. Here’s a photograph of it next to my old Dell Inspiron 8200, which it really puts to shame:
One thing, however, which is somewhat deceptive is that you don’t get your entire 120 GB hard disk to yourself. Sony steals away 6 GB for a restore partition:
So, unless you want to screw around with your hard drive partitions, you’re really getting around 110GB. Here are the 3DMark results, for those are interested:
