Vaio Z Ultrabook Review - Business/School...not more.

2017-01-31
this is the VAIO set a very portable business / school laptop with a hefty price tag it's available in two different variations the cheapest one costs $1500 and features a dual core i5 CPU paired with 8 gigs of ram and a 256 gig PCIe SSD its display is a full HD mass IPS display the higher end model costs $300 more and that gives you a dual core i7 CPU the same amount of RAM and SSD storage and a 1440p display instead of a full HD one in this video we are taking a look at the highest end model in terms of connectivity we are looking at two super speed USB type-c ports an HDMI port headphone jack and a card reader in my opinion the port selection is just fine but I wish that they would have changed the horrible charging board to a USB type-c port instead its 2017 we need a universal way of charging our laptops just like we had micro USB with our Android phone so you might be wondering what's the bad part about the charger well the actual power brick is very small and portable which is fantastic they also have a USB port to charge something like a smartphone at the same time as your laptop the thing I don't like is that you have to push quite hard to get it into place the same goes with taking it out as well it just feels quite old to me so next time please use a USB type-c port instead in terms of build quality its screen and keyboard has a lot of flexing which is the result of using a plastic-like material instead of a full metal design it has an aluminum panel on the back of the display and on the inside of the laptop but the rest is really just plastic it is very lightweight though so yeah it all comes down to your individual preferences the keyboard feels in my opinion quite nice it has a very small child distance but it makes up for that into actuation because of its metal panel you can feel each click very easily so it's quite easy to get fast as typing on this keyboard in fact I wrote this entire review script on it I thing I don't like though is the quick tool it just has volume and screen brightness adjustments it should have and pause and all that stuff to the trackpad is of a decent size however I do not like the surface of it it doesn't feel smooth and continuous like some other laptops to do in this price range it's got all the windows gestures like two finger scrolling and zooming in but because of its harsh feel I'm not very fond of it I like the screen though its bezels are a little bit too big for me but other than that the screen is sharp with its 1440p resolution and gets fairly bright the colors felt a bit warm at first but that's probably because I've been using a macbook before which tends to have a cooler color temperature now because of its small size and high resolution you have to use Windows dpi feeling which if you've used it before know that it is really bad in some apps text and images look surprisingly blurry or pixelated while in other apps it looks fine in terms of battery life bio is advertising 13 and a half hours which gleaming will never actually happen in a real life scenario me myself I got about 7 hours of use when writing and listening to music and about 5 hours of video playback now if you're looking for a high performer this is not the laptop to go for because of its small size they have to put a smaller battery in the laptop which in turn means that they have to use a lower performance processor instead eventuates got a score of 364 which is definitely fine it's not a slouch but it cannot do things like video editing without getting extremely hot and loud and with its 4 megabytes of cache it can't do that much at the same time without slowing down significantly so it's mostly a business / school and media consumption laptop the PCIe SSD is extremely quick which feels amazing in Windows everything is just so smooth in terms of raw performance I use crystal mark to test the disk speed where the SSD got a read score of two thousand two hundred megabytes per second and a write score of one thousand three hundred so as a conclusion the BIOS set is a decent all-arounder for people looking for a school or business laptop it's got a great screen and keyboard and the PCIe SSD makes the laptops feel super quick at all it is expensive though and it definitely has got some competition such as the Dell XPS 13 which I reviewed almost a year ago if you would like to watch the review of that click the card in the top right corner of this video so with that said what do you guys think about the BIOS sets let me know in the comments down below and I'll see you guys in the next one peace
