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.

X-black technology delivers deeper blacks and vibrant colours for natural-looking images

Make your own movie
VAIO isn’t just about sitting back and enjoying movies, you can make your own too. Unleash your creativity with VAIO Movie Story video editing software. Just import your video and photos, choose a theme and soundtrack, and the software will do the rest, generating a finished movie complete with smooth transitions and special effects. Additional editing functions let you rearrange scenes and replace photos. Then when you’re done, it’s easy to share your movies with others on Windows® Media Player or by uploading to a website.

VAIO Movie Story can import a wide variety of video files including DVD, BD, AVCHD and Cyber-shot, and export to these formats too.

Easy access to all your media
Take all the effort out of storing and finding videos and photos with Picture Motion Browser. It automatically indexes all your media enabling you to browse by date or name. You can also click on a face and it’ll find all the other photos or clips featuring that person. The NW20EF also comes with Windows Media Player 11, which puts a world of entertainment at just a click away. Fill your library, then take your music and video anywhere with you. Play, view and sync your favourite tracks, movies and TV shows all from one place.

Powered up
When you’re watching movies, browsing the web, and gaming, you want a PC that has the power to support your activities. The VAIO NW20EF is installed with an Intel® Pentium® Processor T4300 (2.1GHz), ensuring faster performance for multi-tasking, speedy wireless connection and longer battery life. 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.

The NW Series comes with Windows® 7 Home Premium pre-installed and Windows® XP in the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish, ergonomic, fast and fun to use, 21 Jan 2010
By Andrew J. Kerrigan (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sony VAIO NW20EF/S 15.5inch Notebook (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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Laptop, 5 Jan 2010
By I. M. Snowden - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sony VAIO NW20EF/S 15.5inch Notebook (T4300 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium) (Electronics)
First of all excellent service from Amazon.

This Laptop ticks all the boxes for a general purpose laptop. High quality, good looks, great screen. Don't get too bogged down by poor battery performance reviews on laptops they will all be about the same (2-3 hours) depending on what you are doing - if you need longer battery life then you really need to go for laptops targetted at that but there will be compromises - as for us we have electricity at home. I have had several laptops over the years and for the price you won't be dissapointed with this. We got this for our teenage daughter for schoolwork etc. and she is delighted. There is a lot of talk about laptop specs out there but basically if you are a serious gamer then your probably not looking at this one anyway, if you want the battery to last 7+ hours you don't want to look at this (or any other laptop with same spec for that matter), if you want a good, solid, affordable laptop to use as a home laptop you will not be dissapointed. For home use you can spend more for speed you won't notice and features you'll never use.

Not at lot to say really. The laptop is great, very easy to use, the camera and pre-installed skpye have been dream, lots of memeory space for all my movies, pictures and music...

If you're looking for an easy to use home laptop for general internet surfing, music movies etc then you could do a lot worse than this bad boy
