Archive.org versionThe Sony VAIO VPC-F226FM/B offers a combination of high-end parts and superb entertainment options. While the battery life leaves something to be desired, the overall performance ranks it among the best laptops to cross our bench. If you can part with the Blu-ray drive and want to save yourself about $400, take a look at the Editors' Choice HP Pavilion dv7-6143cl. If you're after a desktop replacement that offers powerful performance and all the goodies you could want, the Sony VAIO VPC-F226FM/B is one laptop you should seriously consider.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M:
Mid-range graphics card based on the GT 435M chip (GF108) with higher clock rates and DDR3 support.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
2630QM: Fast Quad-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
