Review Sony Vaio SVE1711X1EB Notebook

Turbo? With the SVE1711X1EB, Sony brings out on the market a multimedia laptop, which should appeal to both business and ambitious home users with its Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU, middle class graphics card, and matte display. In our detailed review...

Matte, high-contrast screen ; Good keyboard with backlighting ; Relatively quiet ; Plain design ; Good workmanship

Only one USB 3.0 port ; Interface layout ; No graphics switching ; No CPU Turbo ; Surfaces heating up under load

How little the lack of Turbo Boost affects the everyday performance and subjective speed of the system. Only in the CPU oriented benchmarks do we notice that the 3612QM quad-core CPU in our test unit works slower than in other notebooks

Consumer review by: a developer (amazon.co.uk)

great overall, even better after SSD upgrade

Initially I was thinking about buying the Samsung RF711 as I had the impression that the VAIOs are overpriced, but this is a great laptop, that is a pleasure to work with and looks very slick. It's also a better deal than the Samsung RF711 - later...

Vaio at its Very Best!

Having read not only the reviews on Amazon and other sites, I decided to buy this about 10 days ago; I am not disappointed!

Excellent Laptop, True value for money

This is an excellent laptop. If you want a powerful desktop replacement this is the only option to choose from: It is not very heavy for its size, it has a very good battery life, an amazing full HD screen with fantastic viewing angles, a very good...

Flimsy, cheaply made, trackpad poor - not good quality AT ALL!

Well, purchased this from Amazon a short while back. I had it only 24 hours before it went back.

Almost perfect but you can make it perfect :)

Wow, this laptop is truly amazing. Where to start? The screen is clear, nice and bright, the keyboard has a nice backlight on it so you can type in the dark (it looks cool in the day too). The keyboard actually has a nice subtle bounce to it when you...

Best laptop I've ever owned.

Don't listen to the previous reviews. The trackpad is very usable. In fact the Sony Vaio E series offers one 0of the best trackpads on the laptop/notebook market. Same can be said for the keyboard. The keys are very stable, firm and comfortable to...
