Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-NW180J/S
Source: Computer Shopper
Archive.org versionSony's VAIO NW180J/S is a well-equipped wide-screen notebook with a comfortable design, a unique and quirky appearance, and a price lower than you'd expect for a Blu-ray–equipped portable from Sony. It's an attractive choice for those looking for a wide-screen multimedia notebook to take on the road, but its short battery life makes it more useful in the hotel room than on a long flight. With its excellent screen, Blu-ray playback, and low price, the VAIO NW180J/S is a standout media notebook.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570: Lower middle-class GPU that features a low shader count and a 64 Bit memory bus but a high clock speed. Similar to the desktop Radeon 4550. Supports Avivo HD and DirectX 10.1.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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.
P7350:
Entry level Core 2 Duo processor with 3 MB Level 2 Cache and due to the 25 Watt TDP also suited for 13" laptops.
