Mai New Vaio TZ!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sony Vaio TZ91!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arrived, played with it for a few days already, it blew me away! Its very tiny, even smaller than a Mandragora ^^<\/p>\n

I’ve always had a laptop beside me, and not having one for the past 7 months felt like my arm was chopped off… it felt weird, inconvenient, and always missing something. So here’s some picture spam of the new lappy ^^;<\/p>\n

Carbon Fibre Exterior :O!<\/a><\/p>\n

Specification:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Model: Sony Vaio TZ91<\/a>
\nIntel 1.2GHz Weak Sauce
\nCarbon Fiber Exterior<\/p>\n

Shit Graphics Card
\nShit Sound Card<\/p>\n

\"Mai's<\/p>\n

Lovely Keyboard!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

48GB Solid State Drive<\/a>.
\n160GB Traditional Spinner.<\/p>\n

MacBook Style Keyboard
\nLoaded Battery (5hr running @ max brightness, moderate CPU load)
\n11.2″ LCD 1366px x 768px
\nShitty OS.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t have a gamer spec, but I really just want a laptop for productivity!<\/p>\n

Before and After!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before my old laptop broke, I had the crappy Windows Vista installed! It wasn’t bad, but it does lag especially when I try to bring up a dialog box, it’d take awhile to load. With this laptop, stuff just pops up!<\/p>\n

\"Mai's<\/p>\n

TZ and T but turned on!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Well after all, its almost like… 3 years since my last laptop.. so technology probably improved! I hope it did. Anyway, the first thing I notice about this laptop is the keyboard. Its amazing! If you used a mac, you’d know what I mean. The feedback is excellent and… with the gap between each keys, you can clearly tell if your overlapping or not. I can’t tell with my old laptop.<\/p>\n

I like small things! Small Tarus, small plushies, small people (Tazo lol… she’s pretty tiny ^^) and small laptop! If you’re goin ask me what kinda car I’d like… take a guess, but you’re probably thinking of what I’m thinking ^^<\/p>\n

Pair these two together… you can see that… the materials on the new one is relatively nicer… more solid looking imo.<\/p>\n

Regarding… the sides, holy smoke! The hinges and the power cord is amazingly looking!<\/p>\n

\"Mai's<\/p>\n

Really nice power button!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Mai's<\/p>\n

Macbook-like Power Supply Plug!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This laptop’s most expensive part, is actually the drive. I’m using a Solid State Drive (SSD) + Traditional Spinner. SSD are basically hard drives, but all on non-volatile memory, meaning unlike RAM, stuff won’t disappear when you shutdown your PC. Since its memory, stuff don’t really have a seek time. The SSD runs on a SATA interface, so it was pretty nice in terms of squeezing every bit of juice out of my laptop.<\/p>\n

I did get to try it, I was actually 2boxing Tazo on Ultima, one on laptop, one on desktop. Although Tazo didn’t do anything, but at least the laptop can handle FFXI ^^ This one can process T&L, my old one can’t T_T<\/p>\n

So yea… with a 48GB SSD + 160 Spinner, I pretty much put all my apps on the 48GB, and use the 160 Snail as data storage. Its working fine atm ^^<\/p>\n

Anyway, thought I’d share a bit about my lappy excitement! Zomg :s !<\/p>\n

LOL Istari<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh haha, so I was telling Istari how I split my drive via partitions, and install stuff respectively so.. its easier to defrag. He was like ok.. lets install Vista for fun, and was asking what size to partition, I said “Just do 1 partition of C”, cuz I was thinking… he wasn’t really a PC Guru, so telling him to install App on another partition for easy defragment won’t work.. well at least my friend. I told him that and he’s like “So you’re challenging me??!” He took the challenge, and is tearing his PC apart (LOL) just to prove me wrong xD I think his icon is broken, partition disappear, lots of shit going on! But I’m amazed at his spirit haha…<\/p>\n

Edit: Btw, I was installing FFXI onto laptop, since I don’t have a CD-ROM, I had to move the installation instead (or make CD as ISO then transfer.. so troublesome).. so I looked up moving FFXI installation and I found an article on Windower forum… move, type a few things, and tata, you don’t even need to go through the POL update or file check. Its good!<\/p>\n

Check it out<\/a>! (Windower Forum)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
