Sony Z Series Review (i7, Bluray, 1080p, Raid SSD, AMD HD6650, dual battery)

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

The system scores 4,107 points which indicates decent Direct X 10 gaming performance with modest settings. The CPU scores well over 10,000 points, but the overall score is held back by the HD6650 discrete solution.

  1. well thats amazing, but the price is just madness. Wish I could afford to burn 2.5k on a laptop mind you 🙂

  2. its certainly state of the art, but I cant see many people paying that for a superportable. macbook air is much better priced

  3. Fran, get a grip, the macbook air is a toy compared to that machine. the apple computers are pretty naff, they look good.

    that sony is one of the best machines on the market right now
