Sony TZ compared to the TX of course, is much better, on the one hand is the processor upgrade from single core to dual core, but because Sony TZ13 with a 4200rpm hard drive, so performance can be further improved. This in itself is not to this game as well as large data applications and manufacturing, so we canceled the 3Dmark series of software evaluation, and the game part of the test, if you must run the game in the Sony TZ above, please do not run or enjoy the slide preparation. We will focus on evaluating PCmark and SIS2007 above, reflecting the Sony TZ and the basic overall processor performance.

We get is the Sony TZ series notebook TZ13, using champagne gold. Sorry that we did not get the high-end version of the TZ, it is not able to see 32GB +160 GB hard disk memory reflected mixed performance. However, in the future we will strive to get the TZ18 to the related project evaluation.

Here it focuses on the appearance of the Sony TZ elaborate, only 4.7mm thick screen cover, thanks to TZ using LED screen, LED high brightness and power to bring the features. And the screen after the Sony TZ special optimization, higher color gamut saturation makes colors Sony TZ notebook display to a higher level.

Sony TZ with a carbon fiber alloy material, the cover is very thin, so how to strengthen the material is a strong degree of the problem. As a result of many new Sony TZ design, through various parts of the design to achieve a better degree of robustness.

We found that the actual use of links, TZ notebook's cover is composed of a frame and the screen itself, and the cover is not a coherent whole. Under a certain intensity, can be found in certain parts of the deformation occurs on. On the one hand this is a prototype of the process engineering problems, like the current one also shows that ultra-thin notebook TZ there is still a part of the process difficult to control the problem. Hope the retail version of the TZ will not have such problems. After all, the screen cover is too thin is a psychological fear in the consumer, how to look at the slender TZ is the eyes of the beholder, the wise see wisdom of the problem.

Champagne gold cover the use of special materials and coatings, so scratch are strong, but strong collision was only able to make the superstructure of TZ produced small damage. Cover design for the keyboard to stay out of the gap, but also to pursue a more robust and make the details of the design.

Sony TZ notebook body upheld the design from the X505 series, wrapped in a circular shaft of some fixed part of the Sony TZ, making the Sony TZ will be more compact and robust, but we also found this this drawback, it is part of the shaft a little loose. Because he did not receive the retail version of the product, this also requires you to authenticate themselves.

Positive with headphone and MIC, Memory Stick card reader and SD card reader, AV player shortcut keys (including the drive eject button).

Left with RJ11, RJ45, IEEE1394, main vents, 2 USB, notebook lock.

The right has VGA, SONY VAIO VGN AR DC POWER JACK 073 0001 2115 A CJ124, DVDRW.

Sony TZ keyboard design with the first protruding, each key is independent, although each button a little small, but as a general touch the piano keys, we have been impressed. The design of this keyboard is very characteristic. Flexible buttons, and keys from the right, this keyboard design can fully protect you in daily life will be small objects such as food residue left on the keyboard.

The touch pad and Sony TZ Sony TX series a little different. Both are basically the same area, this left and right touchpad buttons, close to the edge of the fuselage, in order to allow you to more easily key, Sony used the shape of slender design. In practice, we are not as close to the button and the edge of the fuselage, and there's barely any operational sense.

Status indicator on the outside because they had been designed directly, so do not open the top cover, can very clearly see the machine running. And in the left palm rest, we can see very clear memory stick, battery, hard drive status. The keyboard status lights on the top of the touchpad.

The Sony TZ as the original ultra-light of this, the heat is more difficult to control, but the performance of the TZ We are very satisfied with this alone left the small vents blow hot air on the completed work, work very long time after, TZ's bottom is nothing but just a little hot. In the palm rest, keyboard, and the shaft portion of the screen are doing a very good temperature control, even in the quiet night, a few fans of the work can not hear the noise, thermal noise can be seen Sony TZ level of control.

New York Shopping Summary

Sony called the Sony TZ's classic, with great success in TX, after persistent efforts to launch the latest generation of Sony's TZ this. As still to be made between portability and performance balance, so stick with Intel's latest TZ U-series ultra-low voltage processor, dual-core enhanced efficiency also reflects the latest trends in today's notebook computers. Sony TZ tradition of adhering to light, it is also to more innovation in keyboard, wide color gamut and even the power button on the screen, have brought us new surprises.
