    Hi all

    I have a sony SVZ1311C ( this is European version) comparable to Sony VAIO Z Series SVZ131190X Enhanced.

    I wanted to purchase the sony vaio power media dock, but I am not sure which was the dock released by sony for this model. I know one came out for the SVZ12 but i am after the SVZ 13 dock, which had a better graphics processor.

    This is the dock I am currently looking at buying Sony VGP-PRZ20C but not sure if this is the best one of the series. Sonys website is not much help.

    thanks for any help.

    They are all exactly the same other than the optical drive dvd/bluray/bluray burner

    In the SVZ, the GPU shows up as 7670(?) but when you plug the same PMD in a Z2 it shows up as a 6670. Check AMD specs, it's the same GPU just rebadged. When I use my wife's PMD it shows up as a 7670 on mine even though she got hers with her Z2.

    thanks for t hat

    but what is strange is that it has it listed as

    AMD Radeon™ HD 6650M*/7670M* with 1GB VRAM built-in. The built-in discrete graphics.

    where any of them ever build with 6650?

    thanks for your help, much appreciated
