Graphics (Video Card)

Dedicated graphics are critical for use with programs that have intense video graphics, which many of today's games and other media do. If your video card gets overloaded, your processor will borrow memory from your PC RAM which will result in slower reaction time, especially if you are running other applications. So, the more memory you have on your video card, the less your processor will have to borrow to display graphics, which will ultimately lead to better overall performance.

With hybrid graphics the PC contains both integrated graphics on the processor and separate dedicated graphics. On the C Series, hybrid graphics automatically switch from integrated to dedicated graphics and back while the PC is running, delivering performance when you need it and then dialing back down for day-to-day activities. That way you lower your energy consumption and preserve your battery life. This is a completely transparent experience that doesn't require any action from the user.

Hard Drive (Storage)

The Hard Disk Drive is where permanent data is stored, such as applications, documents, music, photos, etc. The larger the drive, the more data that can be stored. If you are storing large amounts of pictures, music and movies, for example, a large capacity drive is recommended.

The number of "rpm"s (or revolutions per minute) dictate how fast your hard drive can spin. Higher rpm means faster read and write times, which mean faster overall performance.

Memory

Memory or RAM is what your computer uses to store current data/applications in use and so that the computer can quickly access that information. The more Memory your computer has, the easier and quicker it will be able to operate many programs/applications at the same time.

Battery

In general, large capacity batteries offer approximately 1.5 times the battery life of the standard battery. See below for the actual battery life.

Estimates only based upon Sony engineering testing. Actual performance varies based on configurable options, settings, environmental conditions, and usage. Battery capacity decreases over time and use.
