Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES Review + BenchMarks ~ Saad Reviews (Reviews + Benchmarks)

There are many laptops are in the market and especially the thinner ones are the mainly sold notebooks these days which are also known as ultrabooks. In this coming winter people have wide variety to choose from here in Asia, for example all the brands had introduced many ultrabooks and they are still doing that so people have more options to choose. The ultrabooks are light weight as well as they last long so if you had a notebook which last for 6 or 7 hours easily then you don’t have to remain around the power socket but choosing the right one is not an easy job without doing proper homework before going into the market for deal. The balance between the need and budget is not a hard thing to do these days as you can ask experts and take their opinions to make perfect decisions. Today we are going to review a notebook from Sony, its Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES.

The case of Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES is really a good one regarding weight and size. The case is pretty much lightweight and slim in size as well. Sony Has used pretty similar cases as this one in previous models. The total weight of this 15.5-inch notebook is just 2.3 Kg which is good to carry around. The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has mostly silver color but the black frame of display looks really attractive. The lid and base unit has a little bit softness but its not much to worry because they do not bend to much but still Sony need to be provide more stability in case regarding build quality. The hinges are good to go and use the notebook outside as they are strong enough to handle display. The wrest rest and area around the keyboard are good. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has good design and decent build quality but requires more perfection.

The 15.5-inch ChiMei TN LED Glossy display is really good as it has max resolution of 1920 x 1080 @ 16:9 ratio which is really good. The display has a Glossy surface so reflection should be managed well. The display has the multi-touch feature as well as it has very good max brightness which will surely help in outdoor use. The contrast ratio is also good and the image quality is satisfactory but not good enough for professional users i.e. graphics designer, architects etc. The high end gamers will also show the lag in image quality at ultra settings. We have rendered some Cinema4D ultrahigh resolution object which clearly show the lag in image quality but for normal use, it not to worry about. The viewing angles are decent but the vertical angles are not good enough. The screen is good regarding multi-touch and efficiently respond to touches. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has good display but not for professionals.

The 15.5-inch Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES is equipped with a full size keyboard with separate numpad as expected with any 15+ inch notebook. The keys are large enough for high speed typing and for fingers of a normal person. The Backlit Chiclet style keyboard is efficient regarding responsiveness as we found it pretty good and typing was a good experience on the keyboard of Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES. The three-level backlight is also available for people who use their notebooks in nights. The touchpad is also decently large and its basically a click pad as well. The click keys are integrated into the touchpad. We had test these kind of click pads before which are as whole work as key so it is not a new thing. The touchpad is unfortunately not as good as keyboard is. The touchpad often miss the touch of the fingers and especially while multi-gesture operation, it was horrible and Sony has to fix this problem because its not even good enough for normal use and need to apply more force to record touch. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has good keyboard and poor touchpad.

The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has stereo speakers which are located surprisingly on the edge of the bottom on the rear side which a new place of speakers we saw. When we test the sound of the speakers, we found the sound produced by speaker very tiny and its was decently loud but the base was completely missing. The sound quality is not acceptable at all so we recommend using external speakers for better performance. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has poor speakers.

The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has much slim casing which is why it remains quiet in the idle mode and we were able to hear the noise of the notebook rarely in the normal load but it get very louder in the load or stress test and the noise raised to very distraction level which is not ignorable. The aluminum case seems to be disadvantage in the case of temperatures as we measured a little high temperatures in the idle working than many notebooks we had reviewed till today. The temperatures raised pretty quickly and remain under the danger level so it can be used on the lap but temperature near the vent was high. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES remain cool but not quiet.

Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has pretty much to offer regarding the connectivity. The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has Bluetooth 4.0 and high speed WiFi for high speed wireless connectivity. The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has only optical drive on the right side and it has Power-in, Gigabit LAN, HDMI, Kingston lock port, card reader, 1x audio port, 2x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0 on the left side. The VGA port is not available which is also necessary because mostly projector have VGA input so it should be included but you can use adaptor if you want. Sony seems to give user all the necessary connectivity options in Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has good connectivity options.

The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has 4 Cells, lithium-ion based battery of 41 watts which manages to keep the notebook running for about 217 minutes in our battery test but it should be at least 250 minutes but still pretty decent for a laptop to last more than 200 minutes in our battery test. We do all the normal tasks as Microsoft office work with audio songs in background, surfing web via WiFi, HD video clips, some gaming, copying files, photo editing etc. Overall Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has decent battery life.

The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES has pretty much to offers, The Sony Vaio SV-F15A1S2ES is powered with 3rd Gen. Intel Core i7 CPU and Nvidia GT 745M GPU so combination is pretty much balanced. The display is good, keyboard and connectivity options are also nice. The temperatures are low as well in stress test than competitors but it runs louder, touchpad and speakers are poor. The display is not good for professional users but for normal users, its not to worry. The build quality is not good as expected but design is quite attractive.
