Performance
Sony VAIO F1190X-performance built around F1190X triumphs all because the parties in advance. Like its peers, it acts as a mobile quad-core processor in this case, the Intel Core i7 820QM (1.73GHz). And 'the second most powerful mobile processor range of Intel Core i7 920XM second only to. Although 4GB of memory is more than enough for the average user, the Sony allows you to specify up to 8 GB F1190X, an additional $ 300, it is easy to upgrade your RAM). On the GeForce 330M GT is one of the newest mobile graphics cards from Nvidia and good, so the performance of players and fans can drive almost anything on this machine, at least according to my performance benchmarks.
Design
Sony has not done much trail blazing notebook with drawings outside the ultra-portable like the Sony VAIO PCV-Z1160GSX ($ 1,800 direct). The F1190X is thick and uninspired, reflecting powerful fans with awkward pieces attached to them. Acer Aspire AS8940-6865 ($ 1,399 street), for the same reason, it is not much to do either. Other quad-core, such as laptops HP Pavilion dv7-3180us ($ 1,449 list) and Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850 ($ 1,899) has a lid that sport decorative designs and bright colors. With Sony F1190X, plastic top comes in black or gray. It is the most portable of the group, even if it is tipping the weight of 6.5 kilos. Given this fact: He also has a smaller screen.
