== Overview ==
The Sony VAIO VGN-FW series is a relatively high-end mainstream laptop computer range that was released by Sony in 2008. They were mostly intended for home use.

The FW series were one of the first laptops that featured 1080p widescreen LCDs on certain models. They include "Penryn" Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and a optional middle-class ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470/3650 that were later replaced by the HD 4650. At the time, people wanted the FW to have a better, higher-end GPU, however Sony didn't offer that.

They featured Sony's iconic cylinder design power button, and were mostly built out of plastic for the common silver models. Only the lid was made of magnesium. However, Sony offered Signature and black variants that are so rare, we couldn't find any reviews about them. It is possible that the rarer black models and the Nebula Signature editions are made of a metal build instead of plastic. The second Signature Edition that was offered was a standard FW with a special futuristic lid. We don't know if this lid is made of metal or not, however the rest is made out of plastic.

The FW series run on DDR2 RAM that are upgradable up to 8GB. Good luck finding 4GB sticks of DDR2 ! They shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7, but the latter was way more common.

No special security features or a fingerprint sensor were included, which makes sense for a laptop intended for home use.
