Sony Vaio CB Official Owners' Thread

How come your CB has core i7 processor? Is that possible? I didn't see that option when i was customizing mine, but i chose the highest spec i5 avaible. I hope this won't make significative difference when playing games compared to an i7.

Where did u buy ur CB? I was bought it in hong kong just few weeks ago. N FYI vpccb17fg with i7 processor r still unavailable outside hk and india.Cmiiw

In some Asian markets they're offering the dual core i7 processor (not the quad core)

But, i've got the quad core i7 If it's just dual core the price should not be ridiculously high like that right?

^^ Open Device manager & see the number of processors displayed.

If it is four, then it is dual-core & eight is quad-core.

Does the Optical Disc drive burns both DVD+R/RW and DVD -R/RW . What about the playback can it read all formats of DVD. I searched the sony site but couldn't get much info on this.

Dude, u should check these before u posting

Mobile Processors

2620qm and upper are equipped with quad-core processor. My vpccb17fg is already equipped with 2620qm. So, it should be quad core. Not dual core

Should not be so high period. The quad cores are not much faster, in fact in some applications they can be slower than a dual core i5. Plus they use more power.

Me? Hong kong. and, you?

@nasanu

But, should be better quad core i7 for gaming than dual core i5 right?
