The 6930 comes with an Intel T5800 processor clocked at 2 GHz, 3 GB of system memory, 320 GB HDD and is Bluetooth 2.0 EDR capable. Its graphics are powered by the Intel GMA 4500 chipset. The LCD panel of the 6930 has remained unchanged from 6920. It is still a 16.4-inch affair with a native resolution of 1366×768 and has retained its glossy finish along with its pleasing levels of brightness, color and contrast.

The 6930 is fairly well-equipped with regard to peripheral connectivity. It sports a dual-layer DVD writer, 4 USB slots, a VGA port, and the standard array of Ethernet and telephone jacks. The only thing missing was HDMI, which is surprising given the multimedia nature of the laptop. This may have been reserved for higher-end machines but we felt this was a misplaced move as the laptop has sufficient power to run HD movies without any issues and can easily be used as a decent entry-level home entertainment machine.

Fujitsu Biblo NW water-cooled notebook PC: The 16-inch laptop uses a 480×272 secondary touch display to control its multimedia functionality, including a built-in digital TV tuner and Blu-ray disc burner. Its specs include a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard-disk drive. It ships with Windows Vista Home Premium, four USB ports, an Ethernet and eSATA ports, as well as an ExpressCard slot. Video is output through either an HDMI or a mini-VGA output. Connecting to the Internet is via a Wi-Fi module or Gigabit Ethernet connection. Buyers get a fingerprint scanner for security and a remote control for convenience. Battery life for the 7.5lb, desktop replacement-class notebook is rated at a low 1.1 hours.

Another day at Crave brings another new Sony laptop. Yesterday we hit you with the super-slim Vaio TZ series, and today we're beating you about the face with the Vaio FZ. Take that!
The FZ is a stylish beast. Its bright silver lid and matte-black keyboard section make it a real head-turner. Just don't take it outside -- the glossy 15.4-inch screen makes it all but unusable in direct sunlight.
Oddly, Sony has stuck a '1080 Full HD' sticker just below the keyboard. This is baffling, as the screen's native resolution is only 1,280x800 pixels, so it's 720p at best.
You can, however, output hi-def video to your big telly -- there's an HDMI port on the left side, along with S-Video and D-Sub outputs. Media playback can be controlled via the Media Center portion of Windows Vista Home Premium, or you can flick through tracks and adjust volume via the shortcut buttons above the keyboard.
Specs-wise, four versions of the FZ are available. The top-spec model (£1,499) has a Blu-ray drive and a 200GB hard drive. Our sample, the VGNFZ11S.CEK, uses an ordinary DVD drive, has 160GB of storage, a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo T7300 and 2GB of RAM, all for £1,100.
We like it. We're going to review it. Come back and read more about it soon.
