Your entertainment, wherever you are
Whether you’re on the move or at home, the NW20EF puts you at the centre of a world of High Definition entertainment where contrasts are greater, blacks deeper and whites brighter to make images richer and gaming more immersive. The DVD Drive means you can play back movies, and record all CD and DVD formats, for storing treasured photos and home videos.

Designed for life
Central to the appeal of VAIO is its combination of sleek good looks with functional design. Take the isolation keyboard for example, which incorporates the optimum space between each key to enable the most accurate typing. The touch pad delivers additional functionality, enabling you to quickly find what you’re looking for using a variety of fingertip movements. Choose from the vibrant silver, white and pink finishes and match your VAIO to your style.

Appearing on the big screen
Beautiful images are assured, with the latest X-black technology. Colours are intense, details sharper and depth more real, whether you’re enjoying a favourite movie, browsing photos or playing a high-action game. The generous 15.5-inch screen means you’ll be able to watch movies just as the director intended in their original format, with 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s also large enough for you to view two web pages side-by-side, for moments when you need to multi-task.

That’s complemented by the notebook’s 3GB memory and a generous data storage hard drive capacity of 320GB.

Power-saving technology extends battery life, increasing the time you have between charges and adding to the notebook’s portability. Options include being able to turn the screen off when you’re listening to music. Fully compliant with Energy Star, the international standard for energy efficient consumer products, your VAIO is designed to cut energy consumption and cost.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok at first but beware, 9 Dec 2009

This review is from: Sony VAIO NW20EF/S 15.5inch Laptop (T4300 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium) (Electronics)
For the first couple of days everything worked well but after I loaded a few things on it, the start up became much slower and the Web button, which worked fine, now works intermitently and I don't use it anymore. I raised this with Sony helpdesk and they were unhelpful in the extreme. Also, I can't load images from my CF card because I can't find a reader that is compatible with the 64-bit processors and the software supplied with my camera is not compatible with Windows 7. There is a pdf of the user manual on the hard drive but ironically, you are unlikely to find it until you have learnt how the computer works first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish, ergonomic, fast and fun to use, 21 Jan 2010

This review is from: Sony VAIO NW20EF/S 15.5inch Laptop (T4300 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium) (Electronics)
Bought this after some tepid experiences with Toshiba laptops (6 years) and Acer (3 years). Wanted to try something new but an established brand. The laptop is everything I say in t he title: stylish, ergonomic, fast and fun to use.

I especially like...

the keyboard, which is quite mac like and very responsive
the shape and colour: nice lines
the position of the fan: stops it from getting blocked by duvet
touch pad: it is textured and feels easier to control than other laptops I have tried
the poweroff button (used as standby for quick power offs and power ups)
start up time is very short
widescreen
windows 7, which is a huge improvement in terms of multitasking

Things I do not like:

The touch pad buttons put up a lot of resistence to being pressed, and in general do not inspire me with much confidence
Why do manufacturers clog up your brand new system with such crappy software? Did I really need microsoft works for example?
