VAIO PCG-394L

Computer Engineering, Media and Entertainment

The Vaio VGN-FZ240E PCG-394L, part of the VGN-FZ200 series, ran Windows Vista and was known for its sleek design and for being ahead of its time in multimedia technology. It was designed with a focus on portable entertainment, featuring many different input/output ports and an Instant Mode that played media without running Windows. The 15.4” screen was relatively large for notebooks of the time, and provided notably impressive images as they used technology from Sony’s Bravia televisions. Criticisms of the laptop are its weight, faulty GPU, and low battery life.

ID: Multiple views of a laptop, mostly matte silver-colored, with a black plastic section from the keyboard to past the touchpad. The Vaio logo is featured on top of the lid in shiny silver. Above the keyboard are media controls arranged in a similar fashion to an mp3 player, as well as a speaker. There is a built-in webcam above the screen. The edge of the laptop is lined completely with ports, from left to right: HDMI, S-Video-Out, VGA, USB, i.LINK, ExpressCard, Memory Stick, SD card, headphones, microphone, and optical disk. This laptop still has its factory stickers.
