We recently posted a review on the new Sony’s notebook featuring latest Intel platform the Sony Vaio Z VPCZ114GX/S that features Intel Core i5 this time we have a review on the 16.4 inch Intel Core i7 packing multimedia powerhouse the Sony Vaio F11 VPC-F11Z1/E. Not only it is an ultimate multimedia notebook but due to nVidia GeForce GT 330M dedicate graphics it actually can handle latest games if you don’t push the graphics settings to high. So what exactly does it bring to the table (yes literally to the table as it is a bit to big to fit in your lap) for the RRP €1,499. Sebastian Jentsch at NotebookCheck is able to answer our questions. In his review he found out that Sony Vaio F11 VPC-F11Z1E is a powerful notebook thanks to the Intel Core i7 720QM quad-core processor and dedicated nCidia GeForce GT 330M graphics. It offers abundance of connectivity such as HDMI, eSATA, SPDIF and FireWire. Oh and there is 8 GB of RAM and 64 bit Windows 7.

If you love big, heavy and powerful multimedia notebooks you will probably love (hey it’s Valentines soon) the Toshiba Qosmio X500-10T 18.4 inch multimedia notebook with Intel Core i7. Ardjuna Seghers at TrustedReviews thinks the Toshiba Qosmio X500-10T is overall well-built and well-featured notebook but unfortunately it lets down with just-about-average dedicated nVidia GeForce GTS 250M graphics and the abundance of the glossy plastic even on the keyboard. We couldn’t agree more on the plastics. What’s up with that Toshiba? Do you guys really think that everyone wants to have fingerprints all over their notebooks?

Florian Glaser at Notebookcheck posted a review on the Toshiba Qosmio X500-10V 18.4 inch Multimedia Gaming Notebook. He thinks that Toshiba has done a good to very good job with the Qosmio X500. Starting with the case that could only be a bit more stable in some parts and attracts attention with fingerprints within a short time. In return, it has been manufactured very well and is impressive with a chic and elegant design, including a keyboard light.
