With the Sony VAIO VGN-SR41M sends a Sony subnotebook into the race, which is at first glance not only pure mobility in the foreground. promises Equipped with a discrete Radeon Mobility chip from AMD is to be not only for mobile people but also for gaming friends an interesting device. The form factor is first the mobility in the foreground. Whether the device is the worlds of mobility and compute intensive applications created with as few compromises to unite remains to be seen.
Technical data
We come now to the specifications of the laptop:
The view of this data gives an idea good. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570, although only a midrange graphics chip, but it should provide in comparison with the other onboard chips built quite a bit of additional power. With 4 GB of RAM the machine is on the amount of time, even if we would have perhaps a slightly faster clock speed may desire. The hard drive size is fine. A DVD burner has long been standard on every laptop Blu-Ray drives, however there are still rare in laptops, but unfortunately not in this model. Positively the choice falls on the LED backlight, which now holds more feed to mobile devices. The Intel HD sound is common to all Intel-based laptops and was therefore expected in the equipment. Only the processor's clock frequency of 2.0 GHz stands out separately from the data: it seems a little underpowered. Why Sony chose this processor, can only guess once. Probably to compensate for the graphics chip to reduce the battery life is not too strong. Whether this becomes a bottleneck for the entire system remains to be seen.
Let's see now, the Sony device which interfaces we provides:
1x SD Card slot
1x Memory Stick Slot
1 x Express Card slot
1x RJ-11 (modem)
1x RJ-45 (network)
2x USB
I. LINK 1x IEEE1394 (Firewire400)
1x VGA
1x HDMI
1x Audio Out
1x MIC In
In addition to the typical interfaces such as modem, Ethernet, USB, etc. offers the Sony VAIO also an Express Card slot, a Firewire port, an SD Card slot and a Memory Card slot. The number of USB ports may seem for some probably very little, for a mobile device, but it is absolutely sufficient. Praiseworthy is that Sony is not just solely on their own standard memory card, but also has an SD Card slot built in.
