Introduction and run
because I had to do it on my laptop (eg thesis) some serious work met my fine MSI Netbook no more and I'm using an Asus Zenbook (reduced due to crappy keyboard) and Dell Latitude E6420 (from model to wait for Ivy Bridge and Keppler) ended up with the Vaio S13. After waiting 2.5 weeks (ordered on 20-6 received 7-7) and some of my own adjustments I have the following config:
i5 3210m 2.5 GHz
8GB 1333MHz Ram (1.35 V) itself small piece of Crucial placed there
Nvidia Geforce 640m LE
"Sony Premium" 1600x900 13.3 "Screen
Samsung 830 128GB SSD, itself placed
DVD Player, which was replaced by original 320GB HDD
24mm thick 1.7 kg heavy
Free sheet battery to double battery life :)
For all this I lost about € 1025: laptop itself € 890 (without student discount it costs E940 now on Sony store) without SSD and 4GB Ram.
Ram Upgrade € 25, SSD € 98 and Caddy (the 320GB 5400RPM drive in place), the DVD-bay $ 15.
Seem promising specs for such a portable device. Packing Random box, not so great. What documentation + white cover that laptop inside. Underneath the (optional) sheet-battery with charger ( . + battery charger sheet) right Does what it should do, not so interesting. Exterior Overview, clear that this photo was taken with my mobile ...: Bottom, decals and large valve where wifi, hard drive and battery behind. Dock connector (closed) and sheet battery (open) also visible. Front, wifi indicator, power and HDD LED:. Right, in order: Kensington Lock, Sony Memory card reader, SD card reader, VGA, HDMI, 2x USB 3, 1x powered USB2, Gigabit LAN and charger. Rear copper bodes well for cooling. Left, Audio jack and DVD player. The body of the laptop is super strong, has almost no flex in the screen is a little wobbly, but it seems to me that it will not be a problem. Hinges is at once was commentary, but who feel fine here, you can even caught up folding screen 1. yet some random observations: There have been comments about the fan exhaust at the back of the latpop is, I find it rather as an advantage because the warm air is not blowing on your hands. Also there flex on power plug, assume it should be, but it was first time to get used. Input - Output Keyboard is wonderful, even better than the acclaimed mi keyborad my previous Latitude. The disadvantage is that there is no home and end buttons on them, but I can fix it with program manages to AutoHotkey , the print screen and pause buttons for home and end to folders. Trackpad is very wide. So wide in fact that I sometimes accidentally click anywhere while typing. Therefore I for him now but the 'tap to click' (instead of tap you should trackpad button) off, and no more problems. To the driver, you can set a lot but I still have to look at. 2/3 finger actions work very well, many times more flexible than the Dell and Zenbook. Good enough that I now use in practice. Performance At least for me the main reason to buy it. laptop CPU is not as exciting, the majority of people of today have enough to Ivy Bridge dual core vogens me, at least I did. upon the disk that was 320GB 5400rpm to cry, now has a nice place as a data disk on the spot where was the DVD burner. With Samsung 830 does it all better, boot ~ 12 seconds . GPU is in my opinion the selling point of this laptop, despite being a low-clocked version of the 640M (500Mhz core, 900Mhz memory instead of 625MHz core, 900Mhz memory) already quite popente GPU and appears to be very good. overclockable This laptop has two positions with a hardware switch, speed and stamina. By default stamina on silent fan mode where the laptop is practically inaudible, disadvantage is that the CPU is not overclocked higher than 1600MHz on these modes, if you stresst him (prima95), the temperature quickly to one degree or 70 after He further clocks back (1000/1200 MHz). I have the stamina then renamed normal mode, with fan profile balanced and NVidia GPU and the speed mode with GT640M LE and fan profile on 'Priority to ventialtion. Priming on The new stamina mode he remained neatly run in turbo ward and not too hot (~ 80 degrees, do not remember exactly because I forgot to write it. With Furmark there (the IGP), he is going to make a little more noise, clearly audible to a few meters in a quiet office environment, and keep the turbo no longer full, but 2.5GHz is no problem. The speed mode Prime + Furmark makes a lot of noise, but not yet to max out the fan (turned ). GPU after half hour of about 73 degrees and the CPU 87. then I came across this topic up, and I was able to boost GPU 1000/1000MHz no problems (stock 500MHz core and 900MHz memory). Temperatures have risen somewhat, after 45m stress with AIDA64 (both GPUs simultaneously stresst!) Finally clocks the CPU back to 2GHz, average dels 2,4 / 2,5. So there treed a bit as delays, but on such a small scale that I can live just fine. If you stresst him so far, the area around the exhaust (between 'assist' and 'stamina / speed' button and F5-F10) best warm, not unpleasant to the touch, but it would be tedious when the entire keyboard is so hot. Fortunately, that is not the case, keyboard and palm rests remain cool, regardless of the load.
3DMark is the default setting of 3D mark 11. Deus Ex is the first fifteen minutes of "The Miss Ling Link" DLC (1600x900 and all high, incl FXAA), Battlefield is Kaspian Border, 1600x900 low presets.
