This new VAIO is a nice little potable entertainment system, with an included set of speakers, remote control, and TV/RVR dock to record television shows for later viewing.
In addition to its TV capabilities, the VGN-FS680 also has a good DVD burner, 15.4 inch widescreen display, big hard drive, and high-quality graphics.
This laptop does have a few unfortunate drawbacks, however, including a painfully short battery life, below average wireless performance, and somewhat unimpressive productivity.
All in all, this is an convenient combination of a television CD/DVD player/burner, and PC in a single package. For its price, however, it doesn’t offer anything particularly special in terms of business-level productivity or computing functionality.

Agreed! A little on the expensive side for what it is.
