    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
