A Sony VAIO P little secret


As you know, the new mini-laptop from Sony, VAIO Lifestyle P, is available in three versions, with the processor Intel Atom 1,33 GHz and 1,60 GHz and 1,83 GHz. With regard to the internal drive, there may be three options: a hard drive or SSD drives 64 and 128 GB. It is not difficult to guess the price VAIO P depends on the configuration of the mini-laptop, and I have to say, the difference in price between the versions is very significant.

Based on the results of tests conducted VAIO P Forum, the performance of Sony VAIO P to a greater extent depend on the type of internal drive, rather than the processor. In fact, any difference in performance between the versions, which are equipped with SSD drives 64 and 128 GB. The conclusion is obvious: it makes no sense to spend extra money to purchase more expensive versions of VAIO P processors Atom 1,6 and 1,86 GHz.

Adding that, as a test package experts VAIO P Forum use CrystalMark. It remains only to note that along with Smartphone Palm Pre VAIO Lifestyle P was declared one of the best exhibits at CES'09.
