Until recently Sony VAIO notebooks only came in the 32bit flavours of Windows Vista but now (and in a bid to increase RAM sizes) Sony are now giving you a chance to buy your VAIO (custom built) with a 64bit version of Windows.

So what’s the 64bit advantage? Essentially it gives you the option to have more RAM and thus allowing you to have even more applications open at the same time (more on 64bit).

So for some suggestions on which VAIO with 64bit would be best for you keep reading!

Fast Desktop Replacement Notebook – VAIO FW
The VAIO FW is designed as a desktop replacement notebook and so includes high performance ATI graphics. £1,049 will get you a 2.8ghz Intel Dual Core, 320GB Hard Drive, Blu Ray reader, 4GB RAM and the ATI HD4650 graphics card making it perfect for gaming and Blu Ray playback. A step back to £748 will replace the processor with the 2ghz model and leave you with a standard DVD drive.

Ultralight with Blu Ray – VAIO Z
The VAIO Z series incorporates ultra high speed DDR3 RAM allowing applications to load faster than ever before, couple that with a SSD drive and program load wait times will become a thing of the past. A integrated HSDPA modem also helps you connect to the internet wherever you are while a fingerprint reader keeps your data secure. Be warned that such a well equipped laptop will cost around £3,150 with all these fancy extras (Blu Ray, HSDPA and SSD). All the same at 1.5kg this notebook lets you work/play easily away from home.

Something to watch out for-
Sony maybe selling PCs with 6GB/8GB of RAM however I have never seen a notebook need so much RAM (even under gaming uses). If you seriously think you need that much RAM then you would be better off buying a Desktop PC and a lower specification notebook (after all going from 4GB to 8GB costs the price of a small PC anyway!).
