Vaio Notebooks
Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on Jul 12 2010, in the categories: laptops, notebooks, sony, Sony Vaio
Sony released some time ago the Vaio notebooks. Vaio accounts for Visual Audio Intelligence Organiser and was created by Timothy Hanley to distinguish items that encompassed the use of consumer audio and video, as well as being conventional computing products. Below is a list that presents a couple of such Vaio laptop computers with their features, for you to get an idea on their performance, as well as their design.
Sony Vaio VGN-AR590E is a multimedia marvel that is completed with all the new computer toys. It can play hi-def Blu-ray discs on its 1920 x 1200, 17-inch display-with 1080-pixel potential and XBrite HiColor high-glean capabilities or it can enable you transfer the signal to an outside HD monitor with a HDMI cable. Moreover, the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card, combined with a 2-GHz T7300 Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM takes your games to another level, delivering very well in that field. The downsides of this amazing laptop are that it costs a fortune (around 3K), but also that its black chassis is so shinny and glossy, that fingerprints leave smudges on it. But if you rather spend money on a laptop than to save for your retirement, this is the best choice for you.
Next comes the Sony VAIO G1 that embeds an Intel’s ultra low voltage Core Solo processor and weighs around 2.1 pounds – keep in mind that are hamburgers that weigh more than this!. It also contains a DVD burner, with enough room to spare for a VGA port, two USB ports, Ethernet, a PC Card slot, and two Wi-Fi antennae for respectable wireless capabilities. Moreover, the battery lasts up to 6 hours, and taking into account that most laptop computers last a top of 4 hours; this one has a great life. Besides the price tag ($2,599), it also has some other downsides – the laptop only comes with 512GB of RAM, but is upgradeable, and has no game-playing capabilities because of the Intel Graphic Media Accelerator card. But besides these, there is not one reason to make you not want this exquisite machine.
Last on our list is the VAIO SZ1VP that sports a powerful dual core processor, widescreen display with X-Black coating, and 120 GB of hard drive capacity. Having a lithe aluminum and carbon fiber chassis, this baby weighs less than 4 pounds and comes with two graphics processors – both an NVidia chipset and an Intel integrated graphics. While the Intel can handle your Windows load and manage battery life, the NVidia can allow you to “multitask” with some hardcore 3D gaming. The new Sony series is 13.3 inches, so those of you who see ultra-mobile wireless laptops as more calculators than computers, then the new S series is definitely for you.
If you are still not decided on one laptop computer, you should also check sonystyle.com where you can find even more VAIO laptops that will definitely shake the ground around you with their fascinating performance and stylish looks.

People that have a special affinity for games search laptops to assure them quality, power and design and for great gaming you will need a high performance processor, dedicated graphic cards and a lot of system memory. Nowadays, laptops for games use dual or quad processors and hook up two or more graphic GPUs. Below are presented a few laptops for games, that although are pricy, they deserve every cent.
Alienware M17x has been appreciated as the leader of gaming machines. If money is not a problem for you, than this is the perfect choice. It is true that the laptop is a very expensive one, but it is one of the best gaming rigs. Besides the money issue, another problem is the battery that doesn’t last very long, as this type of computers are power-hungry things that burn out the power very quickly. Although it’s mobile, this laptop is more of a desktop computer replacement than a portable laptop, but you will be really cool if you go out in the world with this laptop, as it has great looks.
The system is supported by an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 2.8GHz (6MB Cache 800MHz FSB) processor that runs on a 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 667MHz – 2 x 2048MB memory. Moreover, with the 17″ WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD (1200p) with Clearview Technology that uses the 512MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 3600M graphics, the laptop is a great device for playing your games. Besides, it has a 250GB hard drive on which you can store not only your games but also your documents, pictures, music and movies. You can have all these at the price of $4,749, which is, as said above, very expensive for a laptop, but it is sure worth every cent.
Next on the list is the Rock Xtreme 780×9100 that offers some serious competition to the Area-51 m15x. This follow-up of the highly ranked Xtreme 770 features the new Intel Core2 Extreme processor, as well as the latest gaming technologies. Having a 4GB DDR3 1066Mhz RAM and a 320GB hard drive, along with the NVIDIA 9800M GTX 1GB GDR3 graphics and a 17″ WUXGA+ X-Glass TFT Screen display, this is a great laptop for those who love their games. This laptop doesn’t come cheap either, it costs around $4,210.
If you are on a tight budget, that Gateway has the perfect choice for you: the Gateway P-7811FX. With its 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 and 4GB of memory, plus the 200GB hard drive, it is a great deal for those who want a good gaming laptop, but also to spend little money on it. The laptop also features the Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS graphics on a 17.1 inches HD-friendly 1920×1200 display and also comes with the Microsoft Windows Vista Premium operating system. You can purchase this great gaming laptop for only $1,449.
This would be only a few of the many choices the manufacturers have for those people who are game addicts and who want to have a great experience when performing their favourite hobby.
