Sony VAIO TZ Review
The Sony Tz is the latest offering from in the Ultra Portable market. With its small size and extreme low weight, it is a must on any business traveler's notebook list. The Sony TZ original battery code : sony vgp-bps8 , vgp-bpl8, Laptop battery combines a new LED backlight display, solid state drive, over-sized battery, and ultra low voltage processors from Intel to make it an all around extended battery performer. Read on to find out how the paper specs stack up in real world use.
The touchpad was easy to use, and very stable with finger tracking. did not appear to have any lag moving across the screen, nor did it have any pause when it sat idle. My only complaint with the touchpad was the upper boundary was flush with the keyboard tray, making it easy to slide your finger right off the surface. The soft texture made the touchpad easy to control, as well as very comfortable on the fingertips.
Performance and Benchmarks
The only modern game I found to work at decent frame rates was Half Life 1 as mentioned in my first look. Watching movies, editing photos, and using productivity software worked out much better. The beautiful LED backlit screen really made those activities enjoyable. Below are the standard benchmarks to see how this laptop stacks up against others Notebooks. Keep in mind that the TZ compares favorably to other notebooks in the ultra portable notebook class.
Software
Once you dig deep past the bountiful bloatware, and get a chance to uninstall most of it, the TZreally becomes different machine. Power usage drops, programs load faster, startups and shutdowns speed up ... I can't recommend enough that users clean off all of the bloatware before they start using The Notebook. If you add up all the preinstalled software, by far the most has to do with specific Sony Notebook features like backlight adjustment or eject functions. If you take off too many, you start to lose vital functions. I really wish Sony incorporated all system functions into one software package.
Battery
Under normal use, backlight at 80 percent, Optimized power profile set, and using wireless for web browsing, the TZ pulled off six hours and 43 minutes. I was hoping for more, as the preproduction model seemed to go more than seven hours, but it was still very good. Watching movies on the laptop got just less than four hours, meaning you could get through even the longest movies on a flight without a recharge.
Charging the battery took quite long compared to what I have been used to. More than five hours to get a complete charge was not out of the question, and two hours to get over 50 percent. Most other Laptops will charge at a faster rate up to the 75-80 percent level, but the TZ had no such feature.
Heat and Noise
Even with the low voltage processor and SSD drive, the Sony TZ could produce heat with the best of them. The bottom of the notebook got quite hot even under normal use, and the fan was always running after the notebook had been on for over 20-30 minutes. Fan noise was minimal, and the only way to tell it was blowing would be sticking your hand next to the outlet, and feeling the warm air blow past.

Conclusion
Compared against every other ultra portable notebook I have worked with, the Sony TZ was by far the brightest, lightest, and smallest of the bunch. The screen was gourgeous, battery life was excellent, and the notebook barely weighed anything. I would recommend this notebook to anything considering a Portable Laptop, especially those who demand the lightest possible items for travel.
