View 3 Replieswhy the P9500 processor is no longer available on the VGN-Z590 CTO version of the Vaio Z Series? The first reply from Sony customer "service" was "sometimes things are out of stock." The second reply was "after further investigation, it will only be offered on the Z540 from now on." Can anyone confirm and/or explain why that might be? Were there problems?
As a followup, anyone have a reference for much difference the 6MB L2 cache in the P9500 makes vs. 3MB in the P8600?
I'm about to order this model : VGNZ 45X which is a EU model. It has a T9900 and is not too expensive for a EU model.
I wanted to buy a model with a P9700 because of the lower TDP (28) , but I cannot configure it as Vaio By You is not working in the Netherlands.
So, I need some advise from VAIO Z owners with a T9900 in their Z's;
- how's the fan noise?
- is it getting hot?
i have an 8920 and had to send it back to acer because of a defective hard drive. when i got the pc back i noticed that when i go to c:/users it shows the name as acer valued customer. is there anyway to change that name?

I've just upgraded to a latitude 6500 and the wife is having mine but hates the screen, so I need to get a matt finish one..... I guess cheapest place is eBay???
I also want the new screen tosupport a higher resolution, would this mean I need a new gfx card, as I'm sure it uses a intel one built into mobo ....
The Wifi on this laptop keeps either dropping connection, or changing to a "limited" network. Sometimes it works fine, but more often than not it drops out. All other wifi enabled devices in my house work fine, so I know it's not the internet. I've also tested on two other networks where the same dropping out occurs.
Windows 8 64 Bit
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (up to date)
I`ve just received my new notebook and I had already bought the SSD drive I would like to use with it.In the first moment I thought it would as easy as described hereURL.... but my notebook has the windows 8 and the OKR 8.0 and I can't find the option to create recovery discs.Â
Â
I found out that I can make a recovery media, a pen drive with at least 16Gb, to recovery the system. I would like to make the same with DVDs. create the recovery discs or to reinstall the windows 8 from scratch with the same license key (not even sure if I have one) the one preinstalled in my notebook?
Why the zoom % of webpages randomly changes whilst I am surfing the internet with Mozilla on my Lenovo S10e laptop? It is very frustrating and when this happens I go down to the right hand corner of the application and select 100%. Is this a zoom problem or just the fact it is resizing the pages because of the screen size being very small. Are there any updates or software needed to overcome this problem.

I use my laptop about 10-14 hours daily (job and home/university), so it’s very important for me that the laptop will be cool and quiet. The tasks which I do are: programming (C++, PHP...) with Eclipse and other IDEs, UML programs, databases, surfing a lot... I don't use CAD or similar, only a bit a photoshop.
I got the same price for e6400 with P9500 and for m2400 with T9400.
I know that one difference between P9500 and T9400 is the power consumption. There are more differences? What is better for my tasks? T9400 are more powerful?
if anyone has dismantled their 6930?
I received my 6930 today and have a p9500 I want to replace the t5800 with, however Im stuck half way through dismantling it!
I've removed all the screws from the underside as it looks as if the heatpipe is attached somewhere under it, however it feels as if the underside casing is still attached somehow (possibly hidden screws?)
I tried popping the four tabs which hold the keyboard in on the topside, incase theres something under there, however they refuse to move also!
More than likely it's something small I've missed, or it could be I'm not applying enough force? Don't want to break something accidently though on a two hour old lappie
I'd be fairly confident pulling apart laptops- but this has me stumped..
i got my new CPU and i do an benchmark with 3.0 GHZ
and i got 12.713 points
I'm thinking of upgrading a CPU in my FW . Currently i have P8700 and i'am looking to buy a P9700, T9800,T9900 or even X9100.
One thing just consernes me . Will the bios recognize (notebook work ) with these processors ? P9700, T9800,T9900 i supposse would have to work fine , but i am not sure for the x9100 .
Some opinions ? Also does anyone have these processors (or p9x00, t9x00 ) and say something about their temperatures
I have the Lenovo Y400 laptop with Intel Core I-7 processor and Nvidia Geforce 650M Graphics chip. Â The laptop came with windows 8 and is now running windows 8.1 At the time of purchase I opted to go for a model with a standard HDD and no MSATA SSD for caching.
I have recently purchased a 128 GB "My Digital SSD - Bulletproof 4" MSATA SSD and installed it.
I installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software and it shows the drive, but does not give me any options for acceleration or caching.
Based on my research so far, it seems I need to enable RAID mode in the BIOS (SATA setting is currently at AHCI).
The only other option shown is to change it to "compatibility mode" which it identifies as IDE.
Is there a way to switch the BIOS to RAID mode so I can use my MSATA SSD for caching without having to reinstall windows?
someone is going to pull their T9900 3.06 GHz processor from their studio XPS 16 and sell it to me. I am just tryingt to find out if it will fit in my 1730.

I also own a Dell XPS M140, which was bought through the Dell Outlet in 2006. I've only had one problem with it in three years and that happened about a week ago. The CPU began overheating with 100% usage in about 20 minutes. I tore it down, replaced the thermal pads with Arctic Silver and blew the dust out of the fan. It hasn't overheated since I did that.
My wife currently uses the M140 for movies, internet, email and school work. My fear is something is going to happen to it while I'm gone and she won't be able to do any school work. It's out of warranty so costly repairs. And she knows very little about computers to buy a good replacement.
Now I'm thinking about giving her the D630 and buying a 2.0GHz unibody Macbook. I'd love a 15" Macbook Pro but that additional cost isn't worth it to me right now.
I have owned a G4 Mac Mini and a Core Duo Mac Mini in the past. I use an iPhone 3g as a phone after getting mad at WinMo's terrible battery life and constantly needing to soft reset the phone. At work I've used a Quad G5 Power Mac and 12" G4 Powerbook somewhat extensively. I love OS X and think its a pretty OS. I also love Apple's design on all their professional products and I'm really happy to see an almost-12" PB replacement in the aluminum Macbook...................
I've seen that there are some people here looking to upgrade to the T9900. I have a T9550 (2.66 1066 6MB L2) with 4 GB RAM and a 256GB SSD.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI noticed today that HP added the T9900 CPU to they HDX18t customizable builds, but for some reason it says the following:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T9900 (2.93 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
the Intel T9900 is 3.06Ghz, and not 2.93 Ghz, the 2.96Ghz is the T9800. Obviously the mistake can be that it is infact the T9900 and they had the Ghz wrong, of they mean to say T9800.
After three stripped screws and re-applying the thermal paste three times, I am now happy with upgrading to t9900 from t9950. Idle temps are just a few degrees higher then the t9550. Load temps are higher too. My gpu temps are now the same as before which is a miracle since there is only one heat-pipe and fan cooling everything (cpu, gpu, and chipset). Was it worth it? Yea, the upgrade gave me a great experience with my laptop. I can now open my laptop without looking at any documentation
Here are the pictures:
i own a Hp dv6817tx, that comes with a T5750, i was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to the T7500, AND if so is it worth the upgrade?

I think they are not saved properly when you change it in Vaio Control Center.
My SR's fan is running nearly permanently though I'm only surfing, Office-ing, etc....
I have the newest european SR5 with Win7, bought yesterday.
Taking apart my Vaio Z was easier that I thought. Changed to Artic Silver 5, temperature came down 2 degrees.

I just got a new Sony Z-series laptop. It is a nice laptop, but I don't why there is a very slight vibration. It is not very serious but enough to make me feel uncomfortable. I am not sure whether it is caused by the fan or the harddrive.

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to open/disassemble my VGN-CS110E laptop but no one had the manuals, etc to how to open it. I have read from several places that the Vaio is like a jigsaw puzzle, and in which case it is. There are always different was of opening different Vaio's. From the "popup" keyboard, to "popup speaker" just to get into the fan. The CS-series is different, you open it as if it were a desktop computer.
First, turn the laptop over so the screen is shut and is on the bottom.
Remove the battery, once removed, there are 2 screws (ignore the 3 black screws), remove the 2 screws.
After this is done, unscrew the screws that is in the casing of the RAM as well as HD. The HD has two screws to be unscrewed, one is hidden thus you have to remove the HD to unscrew it.
In order to disassemble the CS-series, you must unplug a cord that's within the RAM compartment, in doing all of this, slowly lift the underneath piece of the laptop, it should pry away slowly and then you can see the motherboard, fan, etc. You can disassemble the monitor screen from the laptop now as well.
Several times I charge the laptop to full and turn it off. When I turn it back on moments later, it shows the battery at 75-80% and it always does this.
I call up customer service (only to find out that they are a bunch of retards because they always refer to their "manual") and they say that this is normal. Which I think is total bs, because they specifically state 3-4 hours of battery life
Does the Vaio Z series laptop have a SPDIF output that can output Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound?
