VGN-C2Z/B

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:50:45 GMT

Bought my first Sony Vaio last week...
A VGN-C2Z/B with Vista Home Ultimate.
Opened the box when I got home
Took about half an hour to set it all up and connect to my wireless connection.

I have to say it is nothing short of excellent.. I love it..

It is easy - all working perfectly - and a joy to use..

Do you find the screen bright enough on the C2Z/B, I'm just getting used to it, but I don't think it's as bright as my old N11S/W??

Regards

hello,

i bought my first vaio notebook before 2 weeks (vgn-c2z/b). it's a great notebook, but i'm a little bit dissapointed about the battery liftime. my max battery lifetime is only about 110 minutes (vista, power plan: vaio optimized). is it normal?!

best regards from germany

Hallo Florian84

Wie Gehts?! Wilkommen zu Club Vaio!!

I too have noticed a short battery life but have managed to extend it by turning off power hungry Vista gadgets and reducing the brightness of the screen

Ich hoffe das helfen!

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

I turned off everything which is power hungry and reduced the brightness of the screen to its lowest value. Now the maximum battery lifetime is about 120 minutes (10 minutes more than before). That's not a huge value I think and a little bit dissapointed.

But I have another short question about my new C2Z. Before I bought the Vaio 2 weeks ago, I had an Acer Notebook (Travelmate). With this Notebook I could see the battery lifetime in minutes next to the percent value (for example in the SysTray of Windows XP).
Is it right that the Vaio Notebooks can only show a percent value of the battery and not the lifetime in minutes?!

Best regards,
Florian

Hi there, and welcome to the club. Don't know about your machine but my T2XP shows both percentage plus hours.minutes.

Welcome vintagemalt as well.

Edit: Just tested the A317S that I usually keep plugged in all the time. When on battery it shows both as well.

battery life is very poor , because u have to remember this totally different then the other c1 or c2 vaio..because it have a nvidia go 7400 vga with 256 vga compare the others got 128, i dont like window vista , it slower than xp mce and requries more ram and more power and vista does not support some of the built in aplication that was on c1z/b

I have the same laptop but with premium. Was wondering if Bitlocker works ok on your VGN-c2Z? Want to upgrade to Ultimate but only if it this programs works ok.

Cheers :smileygrin:

Hey all,

I also got my new C2Z/B this week. Overall I am satisfied with it, but I wish it had better audio capabilities. The speakers are really very bad, can only match my walkman phone.
I have a question about the NVIDIA GeForce 7400 GPU. It said 128 MB memory on the store, but when I look at system propoerties it says that it only has 64 MB. any idea?
+ Does your screen flickers and strange lines occur (as waves in old TVs) while the computer starts and shut downs and during some screen changes. That is very disturbing. If I am the only one with this problem. I am going to ask for a new one.

Have a nice weekend,

Hello,
A few days ago I bought a VGN-C2Z Sony Vaio laptop. I am really happy so far. Everything works as expected, but I am having one problem. When unplug the current from the laptop, it starts making a really annoying sound. It is almost inapreciable, but I would like to know if this is normal. (It has been on for about 6 hours, maybe its too hot?)

Thank you.

it's me again. Installing Realtek's High Definition Audio that I downloaded from their website improved sound quality (maybe someone is interested in this).
