| Sony Vaio VPCF236FM/B Review | Sony Vaio VPCF236FM/B Specification | Prices and user feedback |
The VAIO VPCF236FM/B is a powerful notebook for enterprise and high end computing needs. The notebook is powered by Intel's core i7-2670QM - the quad core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz (It has a turbo boost feature that can raise its clock to 3.1 GHz for short duration).
The $1199 price tag may be be slightly higher for home users but is less than many of the Apple's notebook that come with entry level processors.
You get the trusted Vaio brand from Sony. This 16.4 inch laptop's graphics is driven by the GeForce GT 540M graphic which will allow you to play most modern fast moving games. It will also allow you to smoothly run many of the graphics intensive applications ( Like Solid Works, CAD / CAM).
The faster processor and the graphics eats up the battery life and with the 5000.0 mAh battery it offers less than 4 hours battery life. The notebook is a little heavy with 6.9 lbs.
