81% 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.

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.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

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.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
