Test: Vaio SX14 (i5-8265U, FHD) Laptop (Sammanfattning)

Återkomsten.

Vaio är tillbaka! Efter ett par år då Sonys tidigare PC-verksamhet i princip varit helt begränsad till den Japanska marknaden så återvänder nu det välkända PC-märket till västerländska marknader. Nya Vaio SX14 försöker imponera företags- och kontorsanvändare med låg vikt, en i princip infattningslös design och ett utmärkt portutbud.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
34 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19 ms rise
↘ 15 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 90 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
43 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 22 ms rise
↘ 21 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 68 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 2000 Hz ≤ 90 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 2000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 90 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 2000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Vaio SX14 är tänkt att vara Vaios stora återkomst till den västerländska PC-marknaden. Är återkomsten en framgångssaga? På en del sätt är den det, men tyvärr har Vaio gjort två ganska stora misstag.

Låt oss börja med att fokusera på de positiva aspekterna av denna moderna Sony Vaio-efterföljare. Vi gillade verkligen det extremt lätta chassit, som dessutom hade en viss nivå av stabilitet trots att det var så lätt. Vi gillade också det bekväma tangentbordet. Den matta skärmen är inte särskilt ljusstark, men den täcker tillräckligt mycket av sRGB-omfånget för att möjliggöra fotoredigering. Den har också ett rikligt portutbud. VGA-porten är i synnerhet något som du inte kommer att hitta på särskilt många andra bärbara datorer nuförtiden. Det är också lovvärt att alla modeller har LTE (åtminstone i Tyskland) – så är inte fallet med alla konkurrenter. Sist men inte minst så har Vaio SX14 bra CPU-prestanda och håller sig sval på utsidan även vid belastning.

En ultralätt laptop med mobilt internet och många portar – det låter som en utmärkt mobil arbetsmaskin, men hur bra är utmärkt mobil anslutbarhet om enheten har dålig batteritid? Det interna batteriet är tyvärr riktigt litet och lyckas inte ens hålla Vaio SX14 igång under 5 timmar i vårt WiFi-test. Det verkar som att Vaio har lagt för mycket emfas på den låga vikten och har medvetet stoppat i ett mindre batteri för att spara in på just vikten. Det innebär i praktiken att Vaio inte går att använda särskilt länge på resande fot utan en power bank. Den andra stora missen rör fläktkontrollen: Vi tycker det är extremt irriterande att fläkten alltid är igång oavsett om enheten är under belastning eller inte. Det är helt enkelt onödigt. Med tanke på dessa problem känns felen som återstår, exempelvis att Vaio SX14 saknar en Thunderbolt 3-port, har en liten styrplatta, har dåliga högtalare, är dyr och saknar ett alternativ för ISO-tangentbord, som petitesser.

Dålig batteritid och en irriterande fläkt resulterar i shackmatt för Vaio SX14 – trots att den onekligen har en del kvaliteter.

Vi hade gärna kunnat rekommendera Vaio SX14. Den kompakta och lätta designen är riktigt tilltalande. Men tyvärr kan vi inte göra det med tanke på den dåliga batteritiden och den irriterande fläktkontrollen. Vilket är synd, för den här enheten har mycket potential. Vaio behöver bara arbeta om fläktkontrollen och sätta i ett större batteri i nästa utgåva – även om det resulterar i en aningen högre vikt.

Uppdatering 2019-04-30: CPU-prestanda, fläktljud och batteritid – vi testade dessa tre saker igen med den nya BIOS-versionen och de olika energiprofilerna i Vaio Control Center. Vårt omdöme är fortfarande blandat. Det är möjligt att förvandla Vaio SX14 till en i huvudsak tyst laptop med "Tyst"- eller "Standard"-lägena, men det kommer på bekostnad av CPU-prestandan, särskilt i det tysta läget. Energiprofilerna påverkar inte batteritiden särskilt mycket men däremot förbättrar den nya BIOS-uppdateringen batteritiden. Det är trevligt, men batteritiden är trots allt ändå ganska dålig. När det gäller fläktljudet får man välja vad man vill prioritera: Antingen blir du av med prestanda eller så får du stå ut med en fläkt som är igång konstant. Vi tycker att Vaio borde implementerat en enda intelligent energiprofil som ger användaren prestandan när den behövs och håller fläkten tyst när den inte behövs. Det hade varit en bättre lösning än att låta användaren mecka med olika energiprofiler.
