The Sony Vaio VGN-FW260J/B 16.4 Laptop

Comes with a 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor, 4 Gigabytes of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a Blu-ray DVD burner/player and come preloaded with Microsoft Vista Premium. There is a lot more to this laptop than the basic description might lead you to believe, it is one of the better laptops to come from Sony in a while.

Not only can you watch and enjoy your Blu-ray movies on the crystal clear 16.4 inch screen but you can create your own videos with the built in Blu-ray DVD burner. Once you have created your movie you can take it out and play it on your stand alone DVD player on your television. The preloaded Windows Media Player has all of the burning software you need to create your own movies.

The 250 GB hard drive operates at desktop standard 7200 rpm and runs noiselessly unlike many laptops where the hard drives whine incessantly. It also integrates well with the rest of the Sony product line including the PSP, the PS 3 and will create the special video files needed to watch movies on a PSP.
