Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-P530H/R
Source: Comp Reviews
Archive.org versionEven though Sony doesn't like its VAIO P series systems called netbooks, that is exactly what they are. They use the same base processors and share the same size that there is no real way to say it is. Sony does make the VAIO P incredibly small and lightweight, smaller than just about any other netbook on the market. It also packs in items like a high resolution display, a spacious keyboard, trackpoint mouse and built-in GPS. Still, the system is extremely expensive and very sluggish compared to other netbooks on the market. At least it looks really good.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 500: Integrated (onboard) graphics chip on the UL11L, US15L, and US15W chipsets with a licensed PowerVR SGX core. DirectX 10.1 support but because of low clock rates (100-200 MHz UL11L - US15) and only 4 shaders not suited for 3D games. The integrated video decoder accelerates the playback of HD videos (MPEG2, VC-1, AVC).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Z520:
Power efficient single core CPU with a very low performance. Offers more features (power saving, VT-x) than the N series Atoms.
