A Z520 Atom CPU with 1.3 GHz clock rate from Intel, two GB RAM (1x2048 MB DDR-2 onboard), a 60 GB hard disk with 4200 rotations and a mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500 graphic chip is the base for performance.
Although we were quite satisfied with the Sony VGN-P11Z till now, in regards to the offered performance it looks rather bleak. At this instant, the benchmark run throughs aren't so important for us but fundamental things like i.e. booting the operating system, opening a browser or even only a file, copying, etc. The Sony VGN-P11Z doesn't look very good, unfortunately.
Cold starting the system can take a good five minutes or more. Short waiting times have to also be counted with when starting Explorer or even opening a file, which make a smooth execution rather difficult.
We believe that this is due to the unfortunate choice of the built in hardware in combination with the applied operating system. The built in Atom Z520 processor with merely a 1.3 GHz clock rate might be economical but the CPU is fairly strongly loaded at rather simple tasks so that the system stagnates until the process is finished. The pretty lame hard disk with only 4200 rotations per minute probably has a part in the lethargic conduct of the VGN-P11Z, just as well as the performance-intense operating system Windows Vista.
A faster hard disk or even an SSD, a more efficient CPU or even the use of the well-tried Windows XP would have already done something for the better. An alternative would, of course, have been Linux as the OS.
Working on the device in its current state could turn into an ordeal. Those who don't mind these "minor" things will have their pleasure with the VGN P11Z. The ultra-compact PC from Sony is capable of internet surfing, writing mails or letters, office applications or even playing music, but with the mentioned short breaks.
We also had our problems in the benchmark run throughs. The PcMark05 was interrupted midstream, and that more than once. But those who only want to play multimedia files luckily don't have to wait till Windows Vista is booted, but can access the files directly thanks to the Instant-On operating system Xross Media Bar.
