Yes it does

Question from peter russell: Asked on 10/05/2007 I see that your contributor "confused!!" asks the difference between the S/W and the N/W models. But I've also seen listed an M/W and an F/W model. Are there any significant differences between them and are all versions still available?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 11/05/2007
availablility changes on a daily basis, but as long as stock is not showing 2-7 days then it is available immediately. The only differences are in the internal components (CPU, RAM etc), and the Operating System.

Question from Woo: Asked on 03/05/2007 Reading back you say that playing games on this model would not play them so well - can I rectify this easily? Also I am the worlds worst IT person so laymans chat pleeeease!!

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 03/05/2007
No, you cant upgrade the graphics card in a laptop, you would need a machine that comes with dedicated graphics (not integrated / shared). Why not give our sales line a call? They will find you the best machine to suit your requirements.

Question from helen: Asked on 28/04/2007 Hi, I would love to by this one, but is it enough good to watch movies on it? I like to buy a laptop which is good for watching dvds on it and has good display monitor for it...

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 30/04/2007
Yes, the Sony's have a very good screen, this would be perfect for watching movies on.

Question from stillsearching: Asked on 27/04/2007 Which is best: Sony or HP? I notice the Sony's do not have the direct play function for CDs/DVDs. Had an Acer but DVD drive broke. Toshiba's seem too expensive for what you get. A sales chappie in Comet recommended Sony whilst another in a competitor recommended HP!! Thanks

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 30/04/2007
Sony's look the best, but HP and Lenovo are very reliable. We'd also recommend Asus and Samsung.

Question from jonny: Asked on 23/04/2007 I am interested in this model and one that you also sold (now sold out/discontinued) the sony n11s. Could you explain why this newer model N21 is so much cheaper than the older N11s (here and other retailers)

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 24/04/2007
The N11 came out a while ago, the N21 is a new model with a new price!

Question from pink: Asked on 20/04/2007 can i watch digitalor analogue tv on the laptop and do i need to buy seperate software for this

You would need one of these.

Question from Giri: Asked on 18/04/2007 Can i connect wireless mouse to the laptop?
because it has only 2 usb ports. Do i need additional software to be installed in laptop? Does it provide inbuilt bluetooth support?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 18/04/2007
Sorry there is no Bluetooth built in but you could by a wireless mouse and keyboard and plug it into one of the usb sockets.

Question from giri: Asked on 17/04/2007 Does this product has shared memory or didicated memory for graphics support?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 17/04/2007
Shared graphics on the notebook so its good for home work and surfing the web but not so good for playing games.

Question from muso-on-the-move: Asked on 14/04/2007 Two questions, please:
1 - is it possible to install a MIDI interface on this PC; if so what would the extra cost be?; and
2 - would the soundcard meet the specifications required to run CuBase?
Thanks

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 17/04/2007
Its not possible to install a midi interface into the notebook so you would have to use an external interface perhaps a USB midisport. The sound card will meet the basic specification requirement for Cubase.

Question from Neverhadalaptop.: Asked on 12/04/2007 Will this laptop pick up e-mails and the internet in a wifi area? Can it be connected to a phone line if there is no wifi? Is there a cable supplied to do this? Can it support a wireless mouse? Have never used vista, would i be better to get XP installed. Will there be any difficulty transferring data between Vista and XP. Will it burn CDs. Will it connect to a LAN in an office?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 13/04/2007
Will this laptop pick up e-mails and the internet in a wifi area? YES.
Can it be connected to a phone line if there is no wifi? YES (or a network).
Is there a cable supplied to do this? Most laptops do include a modem cable.
Can it support a wireless mouse? YES.
Have never used vista, would i be better to get XP installed? They are similar, once you have switched you might as well stick with Vista.
Will there be any difficulty transferring data between Vista and XP? There shouldnt be.
Will it burn CDs? YES.
Will it connect to a LAN in an office? YES.

Question from chris: Asked on 12/04/2007 would this be appropriate for games eg. football manager? would the sound be too fast for the screen?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 13/04/2007
Football manager should run, but most games require a powerful graphics card and would not run well, if at all, on this one.

Question from Caleb: Asked on 09/04/2007 Does this product support the new feature of Vista, such as the Windows Aero Interface?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 11/04/2007
The laptop comes with Vista Premium installed as default though the Aero interface may cause the machine to slow down in use.

Question from Gareth: Asked on 05/04/2007 Is it possible to get this laptop downgraded to Windows XP instead of Vista?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 05/04/2007
No, it is pre-installed with Vista. If you have a separate copy of XP you could put that on there yourself, or even use a dual boot system and have both.

Question from Joe: Asked on 05/04/2007 Would this laptop work for video editing and photo editing? Are the shared graphics going to work for editing or do i need something more powerfull

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 05/04/2007
Photo editing will be fine, video editing should be fine as well but performance would probably be lower than it would with a dedicated graphics card. It is more the Games and 3D stuff that requires powerful graphics. Thanks.

Question from riya: Asked on 05/04/2007 hi do vista support the xp os?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 05/04/2007
Vista is a replacement for XP, so you can only have one of them running at once! Thanks

Question from Bill: Asked on 03/04/2007 Hi would this support Russian type with keyboard overlay and internet telephone?

Question from ash: Asked on 29/03/2007 how would this laptop stand up in the futrure market?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 29/03/2007
Put 2GB of RAM in it and it will be good for a long while yet :-)

Question from serious buyer: Asked on 29/03/2007 hi
can u please explain me what is the difference in shared, integrated and dedicated graphic card?
regards

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 29/03/2007
Shared and integrated are the same thing, The motherboard chipset uses system RAM to process the graphics. Dedicated graphics is a seperate chip (nVidia or ATI) which uses its own memory and is much more powerful than integrated graphics. This is what you need to play most current generation games, older games may be able to run with integrated graphics. Hope that helps :)

Question from leanne: Asked on 28/03/2007 what is the colour , is it white or silver ? can't tell from the pic thanks

Question from Mariano: Asked on 19/03/2007 thank you!!very much!!!!

Question from Mariano: Asked on 19/03/2007 how many USB ports have this pc?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 19/03/2007
It only has 2 built in USB ports, so a portable USB Hub such as PA055E would be very useful with this.

Question from James: Asked on 19/03/2007 how old is this model

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 19/03/2007
The Vaio N2 is currently the latest generation of the N series, which means it hasn't been around very long at all. This particular one first appeared on our site at the end of January and has since been reduced by £60!
