Sony Vaio VGN-TZ17GN

The Vaio is the line of laptops that never lose their flaunt value, and having one is much the style statement.

This Sony Vaio VGN-TZ17GN claims to be ultra-portable while still not leaving the performance behind. The heart of the laptop contains an Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 1.2 GHz, the low-voltage version of Core 2 Duo notebook solution. These kind of processors are generally used with an idea of providing the longer backup times sacrificing a little on the performance. The hard disk drive of low-rpm is the outstanding thing that increases the battery life while still letting the performance to take a hit. RAM of 1GB is shared with the graphics onboard. The RAM must be increased to another 1 GB that seems essential since the Vista Business arrives preinstalled.

The graphics performance is little poor. The laptop is not meant for the gaming, but you still can play the old-time favorites like the Counter-Strike and the Quake 3. Speaking comparatively, in terms of the performance, this laptop lies in between the ACI DMIQ series and the ASUS.

Backup Time

With the VGP-BPL11 Li-ion battery, the battery life of approximately 11-hour is pretty astounding; in reality. This is due to both the low voltage processor and the battery itself.

Pros

Very light, Intel U7600, great battery life, Good as the ultra-portable

Cons

Little bit expensive, no leather bag, little bit sluggish (Vista).
