Sony Vaio VPC-EB1JFX/B
Source: CNet
Archive.org version
The Sony Vaio E is a new series, yet another line in what's become a massive and somewhat confusing collection of Sony laptops. The chief selling points for the Vaio E are its affordable pricing, multimedia features, and Intel Core i3 and i5 processors, along with an aggressive color scheme. With Intel's new Core i3 processor, the Vaio EB1JFX/B is an affordable big-screen laptop that does many things well without much sacrifice.

Sony VAIO E review: Perfect all rounder?
Source: Electricpig Archive.org version
Overall, we really like the Sony VAIO E, not least because of its 14-inch form factor. With most manufacturers putting effort into producing slightly too small 13.3-inch, or hefty 15.6-inch models, the Sony VAIO E is a refreshing change, and although it’s still portable enough to take on the commute, it’s also perfectly suited to replacing your desktop PC.

Sony VAIO VPC-EB1S0E
Source: PC Pro Archive.org version
As the first of Sony's new E Series laptops to reach PC Pro, the VAIO VPC-EB1S0E didn't have to do much to grab our attention. But as well as a box-fresh design and new graphics chipset from ATI, there's one component that makes this laptop truly exciting: Intel's Core i3 mobile processor. A powerful performance from the Core i3 chip, but this high-end VAIO fails to make the best use of it.

Review Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S1E/BJ Notebook | Notebookcheck
Multimedia Surprise? Sony presents chic multimedia notebooks that are already available for far less than 1000 euro with its new E-Series. They bid a surprisingly good value for money ratio because of Intel's Core i5 and ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 5650. We'll reveal if Sony has economized on quality and how the E-Series does in the single points of our comprehensive review.

Sony VAIO E-Series

Perfect for spunky college students and moderately demanding users with a sense of flair, Sony's affordable E-Series notebook focuses on multimedia performance without breaking the bank. This bright sub-$1,000 notebook handled multitasking well, and its CPU was powerful, though it struggled with 3D gaming. Moderately demanding users with a hankering for color will like this model.

Sony Vaio E review
Source: Stuff TV Archive.org version
'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.

Source: PC World Archive.org version
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.

Sony VAIO VPC-EB13FX/BIC
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
There is no denying that the Sony VAIO VPC-EB13FX/BIX ($999.99 list) is a feature-packed, mainstream laptop that offers more than enough performance to satisfy most folks' needs from a sub-$1,000 machine with lots of entertainment potential. What Costco customer would pooh-pooh a Blu-ray drive, HDMI and eSATA ports, a 500GB hard drive, and even an ExpressCard/34 slot? But a laptop is more than the sum of its parts. Below-average battery life, no real 3D gaming performance to speak of, and a few design flaws, all detract from its appeal, especially when you can find the same feature set in another laptop that has better battery life and costs less.

Sony VAIO VPC-EB16FG notebook
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
The Sony VAIO E-Series VPC-EB16FG is a 15.5in notebook designed for everyday use. The term 'stylish' is an understatement when it comes to describing this laptop: our review unit came with a bright, eye-catching aqua lid. The Sony VAIO VPCEB16FG notebook is a nice all round performer, although the build quality leaves something to be desired and its battery life is poor.

Sony's VAIO EB Series laptop shines with strong Core i3 performance, though price is a little high As the first of Sony's new EB Series laptops to hit the pages of PC Authority, the VAIO VPC-EB16FG didn't have to do much to grab our attention. But as well as a box-fresh design and new graphics chipset from ATI, there's one component that makes this laptop truly exciting: Intel's Core i3 mobile processor.

Sony VAIO VPC-EB1LFX/BI 15.5-inch Thin And Light Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Sony's VAIO E series continues the companies trend towards affordable but feature rich laptops. In the case of the VPC-EB1LFX/BI, it comes with a solid Core i5 dual core processor and a capable ATI Radeon HD 5650 graphics processor. It also uses Sony's exceptionally designed isolated keyboards. The downsides are a battery life that is below average even for such a small battery pack and a display below Sony's usual quality.

Full-HD Entertainer. Sony puts a strong color sRGB screen with Full HD resolution into the case. Can the expectations of ambitioned gamers or screen workers be satisfied? A matt work surface and many interfaces are a good start.

On looks and usability alone, not to mention the price, the Sony VAIO VPCEB3J0E/WI is a great choice for a family laptop to handle everyday typing and multimedia tasks. Even though the battery life is below average, we would still recommend the VAIO to any beginner looking to combine great performance with that extra touch of style.

If you're after a stylish laptop that won't break the bank, this ivory stunner -- the Sony Vaio VPCEB3J0E/WI -- might fit the bill. Despite its brief battery life, we think the Sony Vaio VPC-EB3J0E/WI would make an excellent choice as a family laptop thanks to its decent performance, stylish design and impressive array of ports. Its relatively low price tag helps to make it an even more tempting proposition.

The system now features a Blu-ray compatible drive but sacrifices a dedicated graphics processor. They has also added in the Intel WiDi feature for streaming 720p video to an HDTV without wires.

Archive.org versionOverall, the Sony VAIO E Series is a well-rounded notebook. We like its build quality and the way it feels, but we wish it had a better touchpad. It can be used for office work, multimedia tasks and a little bit of gaming. We wish it came with a slightly more powerful CPU and a Blu-ray drive to take advantage of the Full HD screen, but if you want those features you can always opt for the slightly more expensive VAIO E Series VPCEB37FG model.

Review Sony Vaio VPC-EB3E4E/WI Notebook | Notebookcheck
Stylish typing. Low prices may not allow for luxury hardware, but they do provide solid office notebooks with successful input devices and good ergonomics. The milky optical appearance of the palm resting area, and the white keys make a pleasant impression, although they can quickly accumulate dirt.

All Phones Cameras Tablets Gaming Laptops iPad 2 BlackBerry Samsung Galaxy S II Login Top TagLaptops (1884)Sony Vaio VPC-EB4E1E review Budget and Sony laptop aren't phrases you often put in the same sentence, but if you don't want to pay over the odds for basic computing power with a good mix of ports and connectors and you don't need a great deal of battery life, then the E Series could prove good value. It's well built, reliable, moderately stylish but without the extreme stylings of the latest neon-bright Vaio models; in short, useful if not exciting.

Sony VAIO VPC-EB47GM/BJ
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
Considering its parts, the Sony VAIO VPC-EB47GM/BJ is a good-performing laptop, and its included WiDi and WiMAX features help it stand out from the crowd. But its small battery is a disappointment and the lack of a lid latch is confusing. The Editors' Choice HP Pavilion dv6-6013cl costs less, has similar performance, and offers better mousing and listening experiences, but you will be sacrificing the Sony's WiDi and WiMax capabilities. And for those that need or want these connectivity options, the Toshiba Portégé R705-P35 can provide them if you're willing to lay down $100 more. But if you want to go "all out" for your new laptop, you can't beat the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) ($2,199 direct, 4 stars)—it's the fastest desktop replacement around.

Sony Vaio EB Series VPC-EB44FX/WI
Source: CNet Archive.org version
There's no denying that Sony makes great laptop hardware. Its Vaio brand is often a go-to choice for design-minded shoppers, and the brand's relative scarcity in retail shops (compared with HP, Dell, and others) makes it desired by those wanting to stand out from the laptop crowd. Sony's Vaio line of laptops, including the midpriced EB series, look great and include some high-end features--we just wish the CPU had been updated for the sake of better battery life.

Comment
Sony: Sony Corporation is one of the largest Japanese electronics companies. The company was founded in 1946 under a different name and initially produced rice stoves. The company launched the first transistor radio. In 1958, the company was renamed Sony. Sony is a combination of the Latin word sonus (sound) and the English word sonny (little boy). Today, its core business is consumer electronics. The company is engaged in the development, design, manufacture and sale of electronic equipment, instruments, devices, game consoles and software. Sony operates in the following segments: Gaming and Network Services, Music, Images, Home Entertainment and Sound, Imaging Products and Solutions, Mobile Communications, Semiconductors, Financial Services and Others.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470: Entry level DirectX 11 chip with GDDR5 support but only 80 shader cores. Supports Eyefinity (up to 4 monitors) and 8-ch HD audio over HDMI. Performance on par with the old GeForce 8600M GT.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Intel HD Graphics 2000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The 2000 is the slower, internally GT1 called, version with 6 Execution Units (EUs).
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650: Middle class DirectX 11 capable graphics card with a power consumption of about 15-20 Watt. Supports Eyevision (up to 6 monitors)

Intel Core i3:
330M:
The Core i3-330M is a slower clocked 350M and therefore also lacks the Turbo Boost feature and clocks with max. 2.13 GHz. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD 3150) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
350M:
The Core i3-350M is technically a Core i5-430M without the Turbo Boost overlocking feature. Therefore, it always clocks with max. 2.26 GHz (of course Speedstep is included). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
370M: The Core i3-370M is a fast clocked Core i3. The TurboBoost, AES, VTd, and Trusted Execution functions are deactivated in the i3-series. Therefore, it always clocks with max. 2.4 GHz (of course Speedstep is included). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
380M: The Core i3-380M is a fast clocked Core i3. The TurboBoost, AES, VTd, and Trusted Execution functions are deactivated in the i3-series. Therefore, it always clocks with max. 2.53 GHz (of course Speedstep is included). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
Intel Core i5:

460M: The Core i5-460M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-2.8 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
480M: The Core i5-480M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.66-2.9 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.
Intel Pentium:
P6100: The Pentium P6100 is an entry level CPU based on the Arrandale core. Compared to the Celeron P4600, the P6100 offers a bit better performance due to the faster System Bus and an increased Level 3 cache. However, VT-x is not available for the P6100.
P6200: The Pentium P6200 is an entry level CPU based on the Arrandale core. Compared to the Core i3-330M it does not feature HyperThreading leading to a slower multi-threaded performance.

2.7 kg:
With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
78.75%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
