Reviews of the Sony Vaio VGN-FW351J/H
-
CNET Review
The Good: Blu-ray combo drive; separate multimedia controls; attractive design.
The Bad: Slow performance for a system in this price range; resolution isn't suited for 1080p Blu-ray content.
The Bottom Line: While its overall specs are somewhat lower end for the price, the Sony Vaio VGN-FW351J/H makes up for it with sharp design and Blu-ray playback.
