Sony :: Vaio Z Battery Life In XP

Dec 28, 2009

First time poster, long time viewer.

I was just wondering if anyone experienced a battery increase after down-grading their Vaio Z from Vista/Win7 to XP? If so, by how much?

I'm currently holding a Z710dd (canadian vaio) with a standard battery with windows 7 installed. I previously had a netbook that lost a good hour and half from Windows XP to Windows 7. Even after disabling a lot of the windows aero mumbo-jumbo and themes

Sony :: Vaio Battery Life

Apr 19, 2009

I recently purchased a Vaio VGN-SR390 with the "9 hour" battery. I understand you never get that. But what I think is odd, is that no matter what settings I change, including WiFi on/off, it *always* says 3:55 to 4:00remaining with 100% charge. (I haven't actually timed it on the clock, though.)

Questions:

1) Is this what other SR owners are getting? about 4 hours...no matter what

2) How do I make sure bluetooth is off (haven't been able to figure that one out)

3) Should I see the battery life increase with reduced display brightness, Wifi off, etc?

Sony :: Vaio TZ SSD+HD Battery Life- Also, Windows 7

Mar 7, 2009

I just ordered a Vaio TZ2500 Premium with the dual drives. It's intended to replace a MacBook Air. While I like the Air a lot, I just can't get used to its big footprint and short battery life. My school's library is pretty old and wasn't really built to accommodate lots of laptops, and often it gets really difficult to find an outlet. I was wondering, what kind of battery life should I expect from the TZ SSD+HD with standard battery?

My usage is very light. Most of the time I'm just looking at PDF's, maybe running some light stuff in Matlab, and Office and Excel 2003.

My other question is, has anyone tried Windows 7, and if so, do all the drivers work correctly?

Sony :: Z21MN/B: Battery Life Credible

Jun 16, 2009

I'm looking for a new notebook at the moment, and it might well be the Z21MN/B. The trouble is that I am pretty suspicious about the battery life specifications. I just want to make sure that the 6 hours battery life in stamina mode are not some developer's wet dreams but a fact.

Sony :: VAIO Z I7 620M And Battery Life

Mar 6, 2010

I ordered a VAIO Z series with i7 620M chip thinking that it was a Quad core Intel chip. I discovered this morning that is a Dual Core chip. At first I was bummed and was thinking of calling SonyStyle this morning to see if I could change my order altogether.

After researching a bit more....this chip apparently has performance close to quad core chips, (and in some tests it is faster), with much less drain on the battery life.

As I placed my order I asked about the battery life with the large capacity battery option. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the life expectancy with this configuration is approximately 8 hours! So, I have ordered the laptop of my dreams...a high end performer with great battery life.

Sony :: P8400 Vs T5800 Battery Life

Jan 21, 2009

I am trying to decide if the P8400 is worth the money in terms of battery life. The P8400 uses 25w as opposed to the T5800 that uses 35w. So a 10w difference. But as far as voltage range, the P goes up to 1.250v

I am looking to buy an SR. But anybody who has any data or experience in comparing the two please chip in.

I will also use RMclock and want to be able to under-volt the CPU. which on the two is more compatible with rmclock?

Sony :: Upgraded Vgn-sz110 To Windows 7 = Get 20-30 Min Of Battery Life

Dec 6, 2009

I have a 4 year old vaio vgn-sz110b with windows xp home.

My battery wear indicator according to mobilemeter is 11% wear.

With windows xp I get 2:30 -3 hours of battery life.

I decided to bite the bullet and finnaly get windows 7 pro.

I created a seperate partition for windows 7 so I can dual boot windows xp/7.

After installing a fresh copy of windows 7 and most of the essential sony programs I decided to test out the battery performance and silly me, I really thought windows 7 would improve the battery performance but the results were absolutely disgusting.

With my fully charged laptop, I unplugged it and watched a movie to see how fast the battery would drain. Normally on my XP OS I would get 2:30 hours of watchtime. When the movie started I looked at the clock and it said 1:20 pm and I took a mental note of that. Shortly after the film the battery baloon popped up saying that the battery had reached critical level. I looked at the time and it said 1:40, I laughed thinking it ws just a mistake. Then in less than 3 minutes my laptop went into sleep mode!.............

Sony :: VGN-SR190 Battery Life Shorter Under Windows 7

Sony :: General Quality And Battery Life SR290 And Z540

Jan 19, 2009

I am considering the two following models: SR290 and Z540. My question relates to the overall build quality of these models as well as battery life with the extended battery.

Basically Im deciding between these 2 and a lenovo. The lenovo is heavier than both, is well made, and has ridiculous battery life. Just curious as to how the sony's stand up over time.

Sony :: SZ RAM Clocks (Napa)

Aug 24, 2009

I'm running SZ370P here, which comes with Napa platform and C2D T7200 inside. As I've started using Lightroom and Photoshop a lot of late,

I thought a memory upgrade would give my laptop a bit of a boost in terms of handling large LR libraries and PS files.

I looked up my chipset specs and went hunting for RAM, ending up with Kingston HyperX 2x2GB as my primary choice. KHX5300S2LLK2/4G has 4-4-4-12 timings for my setup

Sony :: Vaio Z Series Manufacturer's Battery Life Claims Mystery

Jul 23, 2009

I've had eye on Z Series for couple days, but there exists a mystery I couldn't figure it out.

I've searched this forum and the net, still no answers.

On the sony's official USA website (www.sony.com)

Sony claims VGN-Z790 CTO has upto 7.5 hours of standard battery life.

However, other preconfigured Z Series laptop such as VGN-Z790DND, VGN-Z798Y/X, VGN-790DLX, VGN-790DKX, VGN-Z790DMR, and/or VGN-720D/B has upto 6 hours of standard battery life. It's mystery I was unable to figure out.

what's difference between Z790 and Z720? (I mean fundamental differences like circuitry design or expansion limitations such as maximum ram support and so. Couldn't figure this out... probably one of those model number decryption wizard would know it.)

Sony :: Z890Max Battery Life For Word Processing On Transatlantic Flights

Apr 28, 2010

I did a search and read various thread on the older Sony Vaio Z battery life. However, these are all in the year 2008 and pre Windows 7.

Vaio Z battery life tests

Vaio Z reviewers getting 9hr battery life!

I do a fair bit of transatlantic flights. So I'd like to know what battery life I can get with the Sony Z890, Windows 7, with all processes such as WIFI, Bluetooth etc turned off and being used in word processing and reading mode using the integrated graphics, with brightness at 50%. SLOW is fine as word processing is easy.

Anyone has a sense of the battery life I should get?

What if I turn on WIFI and use it as a netbook for surfing at airports?

I can't seem to find a recent discussion on battery life. The 2008 threads has a huge disparity with some people claiming something like 9 hours doing basic stuff! Hard to believe but thought I'd check with you guys.

Sony :: FW490 CTO 4650: Clock Speed Only 450/600

Aug 20, 2009

I ordered a FW490 CTO w/ P8700, 4650 1GB, 4GB RAM, Vista 64, etc. Anyways, I was a little disappointed with how well it ran Americas Army 3. I downloaded and ran GPUZ, and I got some interesting results... It says that my 4650 uses GDDR3 memory, which is apparently the best setup for the card, but it also reports that my clock speed is 450 MHz, and my memory clock speed is 600 MHz. From everything I have gathered, that is below what most 4650 Mobilitys are at... what gives? What are the speeds of everyone elses 4650?

Sony :: FW Mobility Radeon 4650 Driver Updates

Aug 4, 2009

Just got my new FW CTO in the mail today and am loving it. I've spent some time downloading Windows Updates (I ordered Vista Business 64 with Fresh Start) and have been attempting to see if there are updated drivers for the HD 4650 1GB card that I have.

The version I have right now is: 8.583.2-090302a-076759C-Sony

Using Catalyst's "Update Driver" link (essentially a link to AMD's website) I was surprised to not see ANY Mobility HD 3000 or 4000 series drivers at all. Are there newer drivers than the ones that shipped with my laptop? If so, where can I download them?

Also, is it really very important to partition your drives?

Lastly, any chance that ArmaII will run on this?

Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz
4 GB RAM
HD4650 1 GB (with GDDR3 according to GPUZ)
320GB 7200 RPM

Apple :: New To OS X - Battery Life

Jun 6, 2009

I'm new to OS X, got my MacBook the other day, and I can hands down say it's my favorite OS I've dealt with. It's so much simpler and just plain awesome. Okay, I'll ask my question before I get carried away...

So, I did some searching on Google after I noticed that my battery likes to hang around 99%. Apparently this is common. My question is, is this a BAD thing? When I see 99% I'm picturing that the computer is constantly pushing power into the battery so it can reach 100%. I mean, isn't that how fires start?

Simply put, is my MacBook trying to charge the battery consistently when it is not at 100%?
