Performance and Benchmarking
In terms of performance, there is really nothing spectacular about the Vaio T. What you need to know here is that it matches other Ultrabooks (not equipped with SSDs) out in the market, and is more than enough for what Ultrabooks were designed to tackle. We’ve gathered an Intel Ivy Bridge reference notebook (equipped with an SSD), as well as a HP Envy 4 (also using an Ivy Bridge platform with discrete graphics) to illustrate this. The Sony Vaio T system's PC Mark 7 scores are about 25% better than the HP machine, but when it comes to gaming (3D Mark 11 and Far Cry 2) performance, it pales in comparison to the Envy 4’s discrete graphics. That’s not to say that its integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 isn’t of any use. In scenarios where web pages and light photo editing needs to be done, the Intel HD Graphics 4000 will be more than enough. As you can see when comparing against the Ivy Bridge reference platform, using an SSD will also give you slight boost in the gaming department should you need it.
