Sony VAIO VGN-SZ460N/C 13.3" Laptop Review
Sony VAIO VGN-SZ460N/C 13.3" Laptop Review from Luis Arango Escovar. Nice laptop but be aware of the keyboard and speed of graphics card, Pros:
-Design
-Lightweight
-Very good screen resolution
-Very good wired and wireless connection application
-Very good wireless reception
-Nice and friendly Sony software application for administration and update purposes.
-Long cord power adapter
-All features work as promised or advertised
-Wake up/start time is fast. From the time you turn it on to the time you are actually in your desktop it takes about 4 to 10 seconds.
Cons:
-The computer is very noisy. The fan and the hard drive. Mostly the fan
-It produces a lot of heat.
-Battery time (I expected to last at least 3 hours). But in certain and common conditions the battery ends very fast.
-Graphic card is not as good as expected in terms of overall performance.
-Heavy power adapter. That is a minus compare to the excellent lightweight of this laptop
-Keyboard is not as good as other computers for experienced typewriters: I am an experienced typewriter and I found my self having a hard time writing with this keyboard. From time to time the letters don’t show up in the screen. All because you have to press the keyboard all the way down and it is not that sensitive compared to IBM, DELL or MAC laptops I have used. This type of keyboard makes afraid of having my hands tired after writing long documents or just a few letters. So if you have the chance to try it your self first, you should. So you can feel how comfortable you feel using this keyboard
As overall performance the laptop with Vista OS show the following windows scores based on the new windows Experience Index base score.
-Processor: Calculations per second => 4.9
-Memory (RAM): memore operations per second => 4.5
-Graphics: Desktop performance for Windows Aero => 3.6
-Gaming graphics: 3D business and gaming graphics performance => 3.3
-Primary hard disk: Disk data transfer rate => 4.7
Overall score is determined by the lowest subscore. That is 3.3.
I recommend it for those of you looking for a lightweight laptop with nice design and features. Not for gamers or extreme graphic application users. For regular Microsoft Office users is just perfect.
Be aware of the heat and the noise it produces. And also make sure you try the keyboard first to see if you feel comfortable with it.
