Chipset used in Acer Aspire 3681WXMI is Intel 945GM/PM Express and Sony Vaio VGN-FE28B uses Intel 945PM Express. We prefere more 15.4" monitor on Sony Vaio VGN-FE28B than 14.1" monitor on Acer Aspire 3681WXMI. On both Aspire 3681WXMI and Vaio VGN-FE28B there is maximum screen resolution of 1280x800. More RAM on Sony Vaio VGN-FE28B means less swapping on hard drive. Vaio VGN-FE28B had 1GB. Acer Aspire 3681WXMI had only 0.5GB of RAM which might not suit users who wants to run many programs at once.

Same rotating speed (5400) is declared for their hard drives.

We dislike the fact that bluetooth isn't available on these laptop models. No infrared. Firewire isn't built in any laptop. For some rare location without proper Internet connection, you might need modem which is available in both laptops in this rating. Note that no one is able to take advantage of fast internet connections (1Gbit/s). Cardreaders are inside both of these notebooks. Disadvantage of both is lack of DVI output for connection to some modern TFT monitors. Each notebook has 3 USB ports. Laptops are able to use standard 54Mbit/s wireless . The lack of webcamera in both models makes them bad in video conferencing.
