Sony NW280F/T Notebook with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7450 with Windows 7 Premium?

Question

price 899$

I would like to buy a laptop. I love this NW sony. This laptop doesn't have bluetooth enable. So do you think it is good to have bluetooth enable or not? I dont know this laptop is good or not. Is this price so expensive? Also, the processor P7450 is only 2.13GHZ. I think this is very slower than T6600 2.20GHZ. However, I dont know why the cost of T6600 is cheaper than P7450. So what do you think? Should I go with T6600 or not?

Answer 1

P series Penryn class is way better than the T series Merom class. The P7450 will run cooler and have more battery life. It also has a greater cache. Go for it!

I have 2 Vaios, one SZ and one SR. The SZ broke but I love Sonys.

You'd probably never tell the difference in 2.13 and 2.2 GHz iven if they were the same

Answer 4

the speed is actually clock speed meaning it reads instructions once every 1/2.13x10^6 seconds. sure the other one may be faster but its efficiency that matters too. think of it like running track. just because your legs move faster doesnt mean you run the fastest.

as for the rest of the specs, looks like its worth the money considering its sony.
