The 1080p HD screen uses Sony's XBRITE-FullHD technology to enhance the picture and work together with the graphics card for a better viewing experience. A camera and a microphone are built in, as is a fingerprint security sensor, and a set of A/V control buttons to make movie watching easy without the use of a mouse. For its price range and year, the Sony VAIO AW Series is a decent entertainment option.
