The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    That is a Sandy Bridge Processor. It is hybrid graphics, but it is controlled via a manual switch located below the hinge on the left side, you can switch between "speed" and "stamina".

    Regarding CPU comparisons, FAQ / Tips / Technics - Notebookcheck.net Tech has an extensive database of benchmarks and overall performance measures.

    Battery life on my SA so far has been good. The general consensus seems that you can get 5 hour battery life on stamina mode, and 2-3 on speed.

    There is a lot of information concerning the SB in the owners lounge http://forum.notebookreview.com/son...al-sony-sb-sa-sc-sd-series-owners-thread.html
