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

Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.

Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.

We tested this title in Direct X 10 mode at the native 1080p resolution of the built in panel. Anti Aliasing was disabled. The discrete HD6650 was enabled for all game tests today as the Intel HD300 struggles to maintain double digit frames with almost all titles at 1080p.

A surprisingly good performance, with a few hitches below the sweet spot of 25 fps. Overall however we could live with this.

  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
