	The VPCF2 3D variant was compatible with NVIDIA 3D vision, and unlike other 3D laptops of the time which required the NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses, these were compatible with regular Sony BRAVIA glasses, making purchasing them these days incredibly cheap. The VPCF2 was the last VAIO to offer a TV tuner, however if you did not spec this option the slot for one was not soldered in. This was also the last VAIO to feature a FireWire/i-Link port, as later ones omitted it.

	[[File:~~Vpcf1 premium~~.png\|thumb\|~~VPCF1~~ in Premium Black]]		The VPCF2 was quite highly specced even when standard, with the majority featuring a 1920x1080 LED display, Blu-Ray drive and backlit keyboard standard, however when maxed out, the VPCF2 was one of the most powerful VAIOs built, featuring a 4 core 8 thread i7-2670QM, 8GB of 1333MHz RAM and a NVIDIA GT 540M. Top models also came equipped with an excellent 1920x1080 3D display that runs up to 120Hz, and a matte finish, which has amazing colours and brightness. The screen is also extremely smooth in the 120Hz mode. The VPCF2 also came with a backlit keyboard, that offers a good typing experience. Low spec models with the i3 and 1600x900 display are actually quite rare to find.
