Sony Z series, time to upgrade?

Hi guys,

I bought my sony Z series in Oct 08, havent got the full spec infront of me. But it was the 4GB, 320GB model The past 18 months its been faultless apart from a problem with the left clicker under the touch pad which sony fixed very quickly.

Ive had a couple of problems recently with it overheating. Fans running at when seems like warp speed then the laptop turning off. The laptop seems to run really warm when I have the wireless on and using the internet etc. Ive done plenty of virus scans, defrags, disk clean up and cant seem to find anything un toward.

So my next port of call is to do a full system freash install. My questions are

With the speed that technology changes is it possible to upgrade any of my current Z series??

Or

would I be better off buying on of the latest Z series models??

The laptop is used alot for internet and some gaming.

thanks

J

 

Maybe get a can of compressed air to blow out all the dusts thats been building up inside your Vaio? Should probably solve the overheating problem.

 

I was asking myself the same question: Is it worth it to upgrade or just buy a new Z?
I'm also doing only light gaming on the Z but the 9300M was clearly too weak for most of my favorite games and that's why I chose to sell it.
If you are generally happy with the performance of your current laptop then I recommend that you get that overheating problem fixed and keep it.

If you decide to sell it and get the new model then I would recommend to wait a few more weeks for the Z12 refresh.
