"The 14 inch screen means that it is a manageable size in for those who prefer maximum portability, but does not compromise on viewing quality."
Rosie Khdir, 6th October 2010
Oh Sony and its many VAIOs, how you do tempt us! Here at PC Site we simply couldn’t resist a closer look at those deliciously bright Sony VAIO E Series laptops.
There are three editions of this notebook, the 14, 15 and 17 inchers but we will be looking at the 14 inch version. The E Series laptops will be released available to buy in May, but until then, you can drool over the features here in our review.
What we like best
Once again Sony has knocked the socks off a most laptops out there in terms of entertainment performance.
The 14 inch screen means that it is a manageable size in for those who prefer maximum portability, but does not compromise on viewing quality.
The real-wide back-lit LED 1600 x 900 resulting display with 16:9 aspect ratio is scratch resistant and gives users a high contrast, sharp picture, ideal for view films and video. The ATI graphics and Dolby Home Theatre v3 further enhance the movie experience.
On top of the usual crowd pleasing features, those being Intel’s latest Core i3 processor with a 2.13 GHz speed, a 500 Gb hard drive and 4 Gb pre-installed RAM, these VAIO have some nice little touches.
To make your life easier and your web browsing quicker there is a special “web” button which allows you to be online in an instant. The track pad also has a MacBook Pro-esque multi touch capability which means you can use your finger to scroll and zoom in and out.
What we like least
The only criticisms are its battery life and weight.
It is a little heavier than some other 14 inch laptops out there coming in a 2.35kg and the battery only lasts around 1.5 hours during DVD playback.
