Sony Vaio VPC-EB4E1E review

With almost everything apart from netbooks sporting a Core series processor these days, you could be forgiven for thinking Intel didn't make Pentium chips any more. They're still in the lineup though, powering budget laptops like this E Series Vaio...

Good looking, with a good quality 15.5-inch screen and the ports you really need at a price you won't argue with

The battery life is unusually low and the numeric keypad makes the otherwise excellent keyboard feel a little cramped for this size of notebook

Today's "basic" computing is the high-end PC of a few years ago; you don't get the latest and greatest (no USB 3.0) but you do get a great screen and keyboard and reasonable performance especially for this price

Excellent

Have been using a Dell laptop for the last 5 years, useless compared to the Sony. So much faster and better in every way.

Sony VAIO laptop

This is an absolutly briliant laptop in any way and I'm really really pleased about it, the only bad thing is it has a very short bateri life!

Sony Laptop

I'm afraid I don't like this laptop. I bought it by mistake really after looking at a more expensive Sony laptop. It just hasn't got that wow factor for me.

A class product

Having researched for various models for Laptops, a friend recommended this product from Amazon. They were unbeaten on price and quick delivery. I have been really impressed. It's as good as it looks, if not better. It's light, doesn't heat up on your...

Good value for money but WEB button rubbish and gimmicky

Bought this to replace my old laptop - and am quite happy with it - apart from the quick WEB button which is one of the main selling points of the laptop - hence the 3 star rating. When I first used it - it worked fine - and was indeed very quick and...
