| emtinmaine81's Full Review: Sony VAIO FXA59 PC Notebook |
I have had my Sony Vaio PCG-FXA59 laptop for about seven months now. I purchased it directly from Sony's web site. I have never experienced a single problem with this computer. It has worked flawlessly since day one. This computer comes equipped with a 1.5 AMD Atholon processor with 256 MB of RAM, which is easily upgradeable (I upgraded mine to 512). It has a CD-RW/DVD combo drive, as well as a floppy drive. The DVDs play very smoothly with no interruptions, and high quality sound. It has a 15 inch screen which makes viewing movies even more enjoyable. This laptop is also able to burn CDs at high speeds without any complications. It has a 30 gig hard drive, which I think is more than enough storage space for a laptop. I travel quite a bit, and I find that this laptop is very light weight, and easy to pack and unpack. The only issue I have with it is that it only comes with an 8 MB graphics card which puts quite a limit on playing a lot of computer games. However, the video card is also easily upgradeable. Also included with this laptop are a generic 56k modem for dial up internet access, and a 10/100 network interface card, so it can easily plug into any network or high speed internet connection. It also features three USB ports as well as a serial port which can be used to hook up a printer, digital camera, or a scanner. The operating system that comes with it is Windows XP Home Edition.
