A very important part of overall system responsiveness is down to hard drive performance. We use two of our favourite benchmark utilities Crystalmark X64 Edition and HD Tach to rate the Intel 510 250GB from the onboard SATA 6GBps controller.
The Hitachi drive certainly feels sluggish, and the CrystalDiskMark results verify our initial real world findings. The 5,400 rpm drive seems to be limited to around 70 MB/s with both sequential read and write tests.
Havent had time to read it all just yet, but it seems respectable for the price. a lot of the budget has gone on the CPU. so ideal for workers I think.
Our local PCWORLD store has this machine I think. it looks good, but it was very dirty looking, from the people pawing all over it. Sony machines always do well in a retail store environment
Nice looking machine really for the price, but I think id spend a few hundred more aim higher up their range for a better model
Looks quite average, but the CPU is a good selling point
Man their other models are so much better
yeah, not that impressive overall. ive been contemplating one of the google laptops when they are released. to try a new operating system.
