Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-C1

80% Review: Sony VGN-C1Z/B notebook - It looks great but doesn't represent good value for money
Source: vnunet.com Archive.org version
In a world where laptops are made in their millions and are often simply rebadged versions of the same anonymous chassis, owning an original and eye-catching model is a rarity, unless of course you pay a premium and splash out on a Sony Vaio. The VGN-C1Z/B has all the usual Vaio trademarks – well-rounded edges, X-Black screen and a lick of colour under the lid – but doesn’t hit the same performance heights as others here.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
