Comments on Sony VAIO VGN-FZ31Z 15.4in Blu-ray Notebook

Despite initially impressing with smart design and good features, the FZ31Z is let down by poor battery life and appalling integrated speakers. It's still a good machine in many respects, but other 15.4 inchers offer a better balance for less money, while larger notebooks can boast stronger multimedia credentials.

7/10

anyone care to mention the nvidia gfx card that is likey to fail, watching bluray movies. Sony doesnt want to give extra warranty like HP and Dell !!! So watch out you may only have a years use and it will turn into a brick.

Even though advertised as 64 bit ready there still are no drivers released for 64 bit, so you're stuck at 32 bit. Sold with 4 GB memory but on 32 bit systems only 3 GB works...

Battery life is poor, wireless connection not great. Sexy laptop sure, but Sony service has put me off Sony products for life. Hardware virtualization also disabled on all Vaio's and seeing as I purchased the laptops for running concurrent VPC's... Painfull mistake.
