Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-SZ1XP
Source: Allround-PC.com
Das Sony Vaio VGN-SZ1XP/C ist ein guter Begleiter, vor allem für Personen, die gerne auch mal etwas mehr für ein gutes Gerät ausgeben wollen. Die vielen Besonderheiten, die kleinen Maße, das geringe Gewicht und auch das leichte und dennoch stabile Carbon-Gehäuse machen dieses Gerät zu einem wirklich "mobilen" PC. Die enorme Akku Betriebsdauer und die zweite Grafikkarte heben es noch weiter von der Konkurrenz ab. Jedoch gibt es auch genügend Schattenseiten an diesem Gerät. Angefangen von den wenigen Schnittstellen, über die Akku-Ladezeit und den DVD-Brenner, der für heute Verhältnisse viel zu langsam ist und so manchen potentiellen Käufer sicherlich vom Kauf abhalten könnte und zuletzt dem Preis, der leider nur eine geringe Verbraucherschicht anspricht.

Over the years Sony's Vaio range has gained a reputation for two things; looking fantastic and costing more than the average notebook computer. One of the most recent additions to its range - the VGN-SZ1XP - may have a small 13.3in screen and weigh just 1.7kg. However, lurking inside its brushed metallic chassis is one of Intel's latest core-duo processors; the T2400, which runs at a clock speed of 1.83GHz. Intel's core-duo processors may run at slower speeds than what consumers have become used to but make no mistake, giving a computer (effectively) a second brain makes all the difference.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 the competitor to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Caution there are some versions with reduced momry bus available.
Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)
T2500:

13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.

1.7 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
