The P8400 is the slowest of the new crop of Intel Centrino 2 processors, a line that also includes the Core 2 Duo P8600, P9500, and T9400. We found it to be comparable or slightly slower than some recent Core 2 Duo T9300 and T8300 laptops in our benchmark tests, but the difference would be negligible in everyday usage. For practical purposes, that means that we can (hopefully) expect better battery life from Centrino 2 systems in general (we seemed to get it in this specific model).

The flush, edge-to-edge multi-touch screen provides a contemporary feel while the slot-in optical disc drive is simple and convenient. This VAIO brings everything together in a stylish all-in-one design thatвЂ™s slim enough to fit in the tightest spots. The P, as opposed to the current T designation, means this is part of a new Intel laptop chip series that has a thermal envelope of 25 watts, unlike the previous 35-watt models. ItвЂ™s so much better having all your entertainment in one place. The first Centrino 2 laptop we've tested, the Sony Vaio FW140 uses Intel's new 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU.

Fortunately, the handful of models we've seen have only marginally larger footprints than most 15- and 17-inch laptops, and we generally like the increased screen real estate for a minimal increase in mass. The large, round hinge (and hinge-side power button) is similar to recent designs from Dell and Asus, and might be called a current laptop design trend-but we've seen it in select Vaio laptops at least as far back as the TZ150.ДЄs laptop makers (spurred by the companies that make displays for both laptops and HDTVs) move to new 16:9 models, we'll see a lot more 16- and 18-inch laptops.

One of them, labeled AV Mode, launches a Sony onscreen toolbar that sits at the top of the screen and provides quick access to Sony's proprietary media playing software (we have yet to find custom media-playing software that is less clunky than Windows Media Center or iTunes, so we generally suggest avoiding these apps). Unlike the recent trend of touch-sensitive media control buttons, these are of the old-fashioned click variety, which is a shame. The keyboard tray has a Spartan look and feel, with only a large 3.5-inch touchpad below the keyboard and a few media control buttons above.
