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.
Under extended load the CPU temperatures hit 85c and the fan is actively spinning to maintain stability.
We also attached 5 diodes to the rear of the machine to measure the load temperatures of various parts of the chassis. These were measured after 1 hour of intensive work.
The underside of the laptop is generally very cool, although there is a hot spot on the left (right from the underside view). Those who remember the opened chassis from earlier in the review will already be aware this is the position of the heatpipes and CPU/GPU. Unfortunately, when placed on a lap, the hot spot is easily felt and can end up a rather unpleasant experience.
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.
