Sony Vaio TZ92 notebook review - ultra portable with solid state drive
Sony Vaio TZ92 is an ultra portable with Intel core 2 duo U7700 1.33GHZ and 1GB RAM (which can be upgraded up to 2GB). You can either opt for a 64GB solid state drive or go with a HDD up to 250GB.
Vaio TZ92 is available in 10 colors and comes with a lightweight carbon fibre casing. The 11.1 inch screen can produce brilliant colors and is of good clarity. It supports resolution up to 1366×768.
If you don’t intend to use the laptop for storing movies and other space consuming stuff, go for the 64GB solid state drive. It can substantially improve the battery life. There are 3 battery options - lightweight with 3 hour support, standard with 6 hour support and the enhanced battery offers up to 10 hours of continuous computing!
By default the laptop comes with 1GB RAM which is too low for Vista. One drawback of this laptop is that it can be upgraded only up to 2GB RAM.
Sony Vaio pricing starts at $2500 for the base model and for full option it can be as high as $4000.
