Yo miyabi... thanks for the video man! Was kinda crap actually...haha, but cool to see all our beloved vaio gadgets all rolled in one shooting lah.

hi, i'm interested in getting a laptop, but would like to know the performance of these 2 models

VGN-C25G
VGN-FE45G

my main purpose is to have a portable pc with me. basically i'm looking for an all rounder laptop, which allow me to do a bit of video effects, 3d stuff, surfing and some casual gaming..

i would like to know which of those 2 models will suit me better? thanks a lot

just my idea.

the C series is more like portable with go 7400 gpu, 13.3". smaller than FE series. so you will not have problem bring this notebook anywhere. (2.3 kg)
the FE series come with better gpu than C series which is go 7600, 15.4" screen, plus with camera built in. if you dont mind with the weight and the size, go for this version. (2.8kg)

when the notebook come with dedicated gpu, obviously the battery performance is lesser than the one with low voltage processor and integrated gpu.

performance wise: FE better than C, in term of processor and gpu.

but in your case, you want portability, casual gaming, video effects, 3d stuff, nvidia go7400 should be enough for you. upgrade with 2gb ram, you are set.

alright, is it expensive for me to upgrade the RAM through sony?

and a noob question.

what are those turbo cache/hyper memory that are available in laptops nowadays? do they provide better performance than those GPU with dedicated memory?

i suggest you upgrade ram not via sony, cheaper and alot of choice. but if they still give promotion for free ram upgrde , go for it (if it still available, before they have).

turbo cache is like sharing with system memory if only if they need to get more memory for graphic application. basically, those nvidia go series come with this technology. they have their own dedicated memory too for graphic application.

most gpu for mobile nowadays have their own dedicated memory + with extended memory (turbo cache as for nvidia) which is sharing with system memory.

as for go7400, have 32mb or 64mb dedicated + sharing with system memory up to 319mb memory for graphic application. for go7600, 64mb or 128mb dedicated + up to 383mb share with sys. memory.

dont worry much about performance, they still decent than the integrated gpu.
just get better amount of ram according to your needs, you will be ok.

ic, thanks for clearing out for me...i guess the C series will pretty much fit my budget and my usage...want to wait a little while to see whether are there any price changes or not..

Why not go for FZ series? The ram you can upgrade ur ownself cost RM 140-150. If via Sony = RM 400. I asked before.

c25 = rm4588

it come with geforce go 7400(64mb dedicated video ram)

the previous price is rm4988 with free upgrade to 2 gb ram + free vaio overseas service(vos)

er, what's the difference between the FE and FZ series other than the GPU? and how's vaio's built quality and after sales services?

quite a late comer to stumble here

btw, using VGN-B66GP right now for 2 years

Is Vaio VGN-FZ15G good for some online gamings like WoW, War3, movies and musics and also work like Microsoft Office.. Or do they provide you with Microsoft Office?
