Review Sony Vaio VPC-EA1S1E/L Notebook

Sony VAIO E Series (VPC-EA1S1E/P) - 14in Laptop

 

If you like bright, bold colours you'll like the Sony VAIO E Series. If not…well, you get the idea.

Good quality display ; Generous resolution ; Very good keyboard

Limited touchpad ; Disappointing sound range ; Poor horizontal viewing angles

This is another good laptop from Sony that lives up to its reputation for good quality design. It also benefits from an excellent display, but for the money its performance doesn't quite live up to expectations.

Sony Vaio VPC-EA1Z1E/L review

A beautifully-made laptop, the VPC-EA1S1E/L has average performance, battery life and multimedia features, and its design is the only thing that really tands out.
