All-in-one excellence
equalled by elegance.
Experience the all-in-one choice.
Elegance, durability and convenience for extraordinary performance ease.
Discover the versatile VAIO FR for all ages, all family members, all kinds of uses! Combining elegance and sophistication for hours of enjoyment. At the heart of the VAIO FR is a Mobile Athlon™
XP Processor 1800+ featuring AMD PowerNow!™ Technology — a high performance, high speed CPU that can process your instructions faster and more efficiently. You’ll notice a particularly high level of performance when playing back or editing multimedia data such as digital video clips. And with the support of a 30GB hard disk, you have ample space for all your audio and video needs. This versatile VAIO really has it all for you. In style!
Floppy disk drive is the essential way to access a data library.
Unbeatable for simplicity and availability. Floppy disk continues to provide a dependable medium for home and personal use, so you don’t have to change or sacrifice data with the arrival of new technology.
Watch movies, play games and make your own music CDs with the CD-RW/DVD combo drive.

You can improve your mind with dictionaries and encyclopaedias available on DVD and CD, or entertain yourself with games and music CDs. As a CD-R/RW drive, you can also utilise this to write or rewrite as much data with the CD-R or CD-RW as you need — a handy and space saving way to back up the data on your hard disk. Or you can even create your own music
CDs with Sony’s original application, SonicStage.

Movie making starts with i.LINK.
Just plug one end of an i.LINK cable into your digital video camera and the other into your VAIO to transfer your movies onto your PC with high speed reliability. From there, you can edit your movie in AVI format, and then send it back to the camera via i.LINK to be recorded on DV tape. i.LINK also gives you remote control over the DV camera when using software such as Sony’s DVgate.
Printer connector lets you connect peripherals used with previous PCs.
In addition to three USB connectors, VAIO FR provides a parallel connector for a printer, which is helpful for those who own a printer without a USB connector. But thanks to the VAIO
FR’s printer connector, new or old model peripherals can be connected without any problems at all. These “legacy connectors” help you take advantage of equipment you may already own.
USB 2.0 for smoother connection with various peripherals.
USB 2.0 allows smoother data transfer, with three ports for the
VAIO FR. You can connect a variety of additional tools
(including CLIÉ) without unplugging your external peripherals.
This is extremely convenient with many digital cameras, printers and scanners. Just plug one end of a USB cable into the camera and the other into your VAIO so you can use Sony software such as
PictureGear to import your photos. Plugging or unplugging USB while your
PC or digital camera is still on is no problem.
Extra DDR266 SDRAM speeds up a variety of operations.
Performance is greatly improved, due to use of a DDR266
SDRAM. Moreover, this allows memory expansion up to
1GB* (default memory size is 256MB). The result is enhanced working efficiency and ease in virtually any job.
*By removing the pre-installed
256MB memory module and adding two 512MB memory modules.
NVIDIA ® GeForce4™ 420 Go for ultimate performance.
NVIDIA ® GeForce4™ 420 Go is installed on the VAIO FR for dramatically improved processing capability including 3D graphics. Now, VAIO FR serves your computer graphics or other entertainment, such as 3D game applications.
Extend your movie viewing pleasure.
It’s only natural you’ll want to watch your DVDs on the larger TV screen. A standard feature on the VAIO FR, the A/V output connectors makes connecting this PC to your TV set via video and audio input cables so simple.
Sophistication and durability packaged in elegant style.
Elegant simplicity with VAIO for all!
Inside VAIO, an eye-catching palm rest with a shining polarised pearl finish changes colours when viewed from different angles. This sophisticated VAIO model fits any environment — living room, children’s room, private study or bedroom. What’s more, all family members are sure to appreciate its easy-touse all in one design.
Easy viewing display and dark LCD frame
Designed for a refined appearance, the LCD frame is somewhat darker than the palm rest area, which is the dominant colour feature of the open display. This subtle colour coordination is intended to help reduce eye fatigue in extended use.
Streamlined, unified look of speaker cover area
Sony’s meticulous attention to detail is also reflected the design of the keyboard top/speaker cover area. Colour coordination with the bottom of the LCD frame and hinge area creates a look of seamless unity.
Additionally, the unique design of the dark speaker cover “hides” the speakers from the view of the user, reducing visual distraction during VAIO operation.
Durable, smooth opening hinge mechanism.
To improve linkage between the LCD panel and body, Sony has streamlined the hinge mechanism. Independent placement of hinge tags allows higher bending rigidity for the LCD panel, so opening the panel feels crisp and smooth. Even after repeated opening and closing, this durable mechanism assures smooth action that will last for a long time.
