Sony VAIO PCG-FXA63 Laptop Review
Sony VAIO PCG-FXA63 Laptop Review from Dave. There are better laptops at this price, avoid this one, At (less than) this price the HP Pavilion xt125 is a better choice. The 1.4 GHz Athlon XP "1600+" isn’t a bad CPU but it lacks SSE2, and important feature for future software currently only found in Intel CPUs (AMD is adding it into their CPUs next year).
The main problems are:
The ATI Rage graphics are weak and out of date (don’t even try to run a new game on it). The ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500C is much faster and will even run 3D games smoothly.
The SDRAM is being run a 200MHz. This memory is not very stable at that speed and gets very hot. You are better off with faster and more efficient DDRAM which runs at a slower speed but sends more data so it drains less power from the battery, runs cooler, and pumps more data to your CPU. Sony is just cutting cost here at the consumer’s expense.
I used to like Sony laptops but they are just trading on their name these days.
