Sony VAIO With AMD Fusion; Laptop With More Power, Less Weight
Michele, Mine was a Sony VIAO which has AMD Athlon II P360 processor, it worked like a charm with 4…
Have you seen the Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion chip? It is a small lightweight laptop which packs a lot of punch. I spend a lot of time away from my computer so I carry a laptop with me just about everywhere. I can feel the difference in the weight of my purse when I started carrying around the Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion.
The addition of the AMD Fusion chip took the Sony VAIO laptop to a new level.
What I love about this laptop with AMD Fusion technology…
1. Weight. The Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion is so light. It weighs a little less than 3.25 lbs. The AMD Fusion chip combines three components into one therefore the laptop weighs less.
2. Battery Life. I’m a power user and I often have a video processing while I’m working on a document with pictures. The AMD Fusion chip is so efficient that your battery lasts longer. I am getting about 5.5 hours of battery life depending on what I am doing. That is significantly more than the 1.5 – 2 hours I was getting on all my previous laptops.

3. Speed. When I’m working with video and pictures, I spend less time waiting for the computer to finish processing. That is definitely a plus.
4. Less Heat & Noise. The AMD Fusion chip runs a lot cooler than any laptop I’ve ever used. I don’t need to put an extra fan underneath my laptop (which also takes more power and battery life from my laptop.)
5. Quality of Graphics. I process a lot of pictures for my blog and for scrapbooking and watch a lot of movies and TV on my laptop. I had no problems with the quality of the video on the Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion. It has an AMD Mobility Radeon™ HD 6310.
6. Size. The laptop is so small and thin. You can see the specs in the picture above. Even though it is small, it is still very powerful.
Here are a few of the exciting features:
- 11.6″ LED backlit widescreen
- Stereo Bluetooth
- Full size keyboard on a small laptop
- Built in camera and microphone
- Slot for Memory Stick Pro Duo & SD memory card
The Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion chip definitely is not lacking in features. If you are looking for a new laptop, I recommend you look at the Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion technology. While it definitely is functional, the Sony VAIO Y Series comes in silver and pink so it is also very pretty! The Sony VAIO Y Series retail price starts at $499.

Disclosure: As an AMD Mom, I receive the product in exchange for reviews. As always my review of the Sony VAIO with AMD Fusion is 100% my own.
Michele,
Mine was a Sony VIAO which has AMD Athlon II P360 processor, it worked like a charm with 4 gigs of ram, it was then 3 years ago.
Now when I see VIAO series, if you consider Acer, Dell or HP laptops, they are more expensive.

Though I love the VAIO series, I think they are seriously over-priced when compared to Dell. Don’t you think so?
Depends on which SONY VAIO you are talking about. The SONY VAIO with the AMD chips are hard to beat with the price, battery life and size.
