Official Sony SB/SA/SC/SD Series Owners' Thread

Oh of course, you got yours delivered first but not actually got your hands on it yet wasn't it?

That's weird then, since that's identical to mine apart from the graphics card, so who knows what the delays were down to.

I know haha, its unbearable to know its just sitting at my dad's house, unopened.

one thing that i think got my order through quickly is that i didnt order it on the website, i called up sonystyle in the uk a few times because i wanted to try and bargain a better price (they werent keen because it is so new, but after a few emails and 2 calls i managed to get about 70 -100 quid off my spec). i also paid for it over the phone. maybe that speeded things up.

Nicely, I didn't even try that since it was such a new model!

[ascariss]

well as they say in the world of the internet, pics or it didn't happen

or pics or gtfo XD

[ssssssssss]

You want me to go to the effort of taking & posting pictures just to prove to you that I've bought a computer?

i'm kidding, chillax, post photos if you wish, if not then that's fine.

Guess your sarcasm detector was broken on my post as well...

I will take pics if anyone desperately needs to know anything specific, but it seems like rather a lot of effort having to find my flatmate's camera (the one on my phone is weak) and figure out how it works since I've not really used it etc etc

As for proof, this do? (since it's a lot easier to achieve without getting up!)

Actually, would it be able to grab a screenshot of the vents at the back, with the screen up? I'm curious to see how much space hot air has to get out. Also, what are the temperatures like (especially for prolonged intense usage)?

[ssssssssss]

I will add pictures of the vent to my to do list for the weekend.

I'm going to give it some more intensive CPU/GPU/temperature etc tests, as quite a lot of people have been asking me questions like that. I just haven't had the time to look into it properly yet what with work.

Subjectively, and briefly: it gets warm at the back same as a Mac, given the similar design, the right hand half of the wrist rest gets hotter than the left but not unbearably so (it's mainly the difference that annoys me!), the fan doesn't spin up fast very often and doesn't seem to run for that long when it does. This only based on light/moderate usage pretty much exclusively with the Intel graphics though, I haven't had the chance to do a great deal with it yet.
