    Comments about Sony VAIO F23 VPCF237FX 16.4" Notebook Computer (Matte Black):

    This is my second Vaio in less than a year, the previous one was a F115. From that one, I can see that Sony has improved the display (LED), but I miss 2 things that Sony took away: eSata connector and ExpressCard expansion slot. Besides, it's a good machine.
