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

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together.

We had no way of measuring the temperatures of the AMD HD6650 without disassembling the Power Media Dock, and we decided against it. The Core i7 processor can get fairly toasty, peaking at 85C under load, dropping to around 53c when idle.

  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
