Reviews for the Sony Vaio VPC-Z137GX

80% Sony Vaio VPC-Z137GX (Sony Vaio VPC-Z) model new
Source: Techreview Source English Archive.org version
Performance with the Sony VAIO VPCZ137GX/S is outstanding and hopefully so as again, the cost is rather steep. Mundane computer tasks performed with speedy quickness, but even more intensive tasks, like video encoding, worked quicker than most other models, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Playing today's 3D games even worked nicely too, which is a rarity on the majority of laptops, especially ultraportables.

It doesn't get any better--or more expensive--than this slightly-larger-than-average ultraportable laptop.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M: The Nvidia GeForce GT 330M is the successor of the GT 230M and technically just a slightly higher clocked GT 240M (but it should still maintain the power envelope of the GT 230M as the naming suggests).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


460M: The Core i5-460M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-2.8 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
