I bought core i7 model. It is very much but when u use speed mode hen fan kickin it is very noisy. Have problems with many old orojectors model, it locks to only 800x600 when use duplicate present mode. (old vaio s work in 1024x768) but this new s lock to only 800x600. Then if u are sales or teacher beware to use ths new s in your presentatation.
@jpcwa74 so u are saying that you"ll rather buy a toyota becouse its built in the usa than a ford built in europe and canada??becouse its pretty much the same thing you are talking about. ohh and just so u know i finally got the mbp and so far ive bin happy with it.fuck windows
@1983shark vs vaio x vs macbook air... asus would win the price.. but, vaio x would be lighter... mac air would be faster.. but who will win the thin challenge?
@punkdeadcross for my information u36jc has been updated to u36sd which has new genaration sandy bridge processor and nvidia GT 520m graphic card which make asus alot stronger than the macbook air. about the weight asus is a little heavier (around 100g) ONLY when it is connected with the 8 cell battery. and it is cheaper as u said.
@1983shark yea hmm i just finished reviewing this asus u36jc and it has no bluray.but i do like the cooling fans on the sides that asus have unlike sony that has it on the bottom.
What the hell do you expect...its a 13.3 notebook with 1gb of dedicated ATI graphics card...what other 13.3 notebook has this kind of capabilities besides the sony z. People want their cake and eat it too...you want it thin and light but with enough power to play games but you don't want the heat and the noise either. Get real.
@aghapk32 Are you kidding me I sold my macbook for this !! the specs for the price and the battery life on windows is awesome heck if I install a good linux os I'm sure I can squeeze more battery life out of it and this deff dumps my macbook pro !
Do not buy. Fan is very noisy and annoying. You run an application and it will make even more noise. I am disappoiinted with my pruchase. This was my first experience with Sony laptops and unfortunately it hasn't been good. Returning mine may it be at the cost of loosing 15% of the amount paid.
@chessblader the sad thing is that he's right. I bought this piece of shit too :-( it's slower than usual netbook, noisy as usual jetplane and poor mechanically assembled. only positives are: keyboard, used materials and thickness of the whole crap. that's not enough or serious work, sorry...
I tried to paste video response, but they probably won't be approved. Search "Sony Vaio VPCSB1V9E/B noise" and "startup of SONY Vaio VPCSB1V9E/B - total crap" for actual footage of freshly installed Sony Vaio...
It has the new 6core sandy bridge processor, exceeding +3.3ghz
You can customize it with 16gb ddr3 ram, and a ssd.
I have seen and messed with this laptop when it was on display at bestbuy; and its far from cheap quality, the whole laptop is made out of a slab of aluminum! and the screen is AMAZING!
You're just bashing because you have a shitty 09 mbp that you paid too much for.
@bmw2go11 i agree. the new s series is nothing like any of the previous models.
i use sony myself, and i did experiment with the new ones. for those who don't like it, im certain that based on your comments, you got the wrong laptop.
@SpectreMk2 Dude Congrats cuss your dream may come true.... So heres whats up. I was at the sony store the other day, I was going to buy a new computer. Then the employee told me that Sony is coming out with a whole new line of vaios no later than april 15. He said they would have sandy bridge, new bodies, new batteries, and better displays.... Message me if you want more info.... AND LIKE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE!
