The VAIO is the only 17-inch test drive capable of delivering full-screen Blu-ray movies to the display while the full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels is displayed.
As a Pixellieferant serves the Sony with the mobile Radeon HD5650 again an ATI GPU. In the 3D performance, however, the VAIO is placed on the penultimate position of the test field, but with a big lead over the last-placed Packard Bell. Games run only with a lower resolution, however, fluently, the ATI chip would be overloaded with full HD resolution.
Test: Notebooks up to 550 Euro
As a processor, the Core i5-430M with a 2.26 GHz clock rate, the systembenchmark PCMark Vantage also has the comparatively weak graphics negative, the VAIO comes here however still very decent 5406 points.
If you are planning to use the Sony notebook as a mobile Blu-ray player, for example on a train journey, it is good to secure a place near a socket. Because the battery in the VAIO gives in the MobileMark after 142 minutes, at full load one sits after 45 minutes before a black screen. This is the Sony quite clearly a classic desktop replacement, in the mobility evaluation it carries the red lantern.
It looks better with the equipment and the processing. On the hard drive of the 969 euro most expensive notebook in the test is a lot of Sony multimedia tools preinstalled. However, a Blu-ray movie playback software is missing. Here Sony should refine. The keyboard is very comfortable when writing, the touchpad supports multitouch gestures.
