Reviews for the Sony Vaio VPC-EB12FX/T

'Value for money’ isn't a phrase you’d normally associate with Sony's Vaio laptops, but that could be about to change judging by its new E Series. Faced with stiff competition from the prudent but powerful likes of Asus' UL series and the Acer Timeline class, the replacement for the outgoing Vaio NW isn't just a big improvement on the looks and spec sheet of its predecessor – the base model retails for just a few quid over £500. In other words, the Vaio E is surprisingly cheap. Worth it for the HD screen alone, but the rest of the laptop defies the price point, too.

The Sony VAIO EB12FX/T is an affordable all-purpose notebook that impresses with its style, features, and affordable price--but it is also marred by mediocre performance. It looks great and has most of the features you'd expect in a notebook costing around $750. The earthy brown finish, slim design, and clean layout certainly make it more attractive than most sub-$1000 notebooks, but it if you need a laptop for heavy-duty tasks, playing games, or long battery life, you'll have to look elsewhere.
