The bad: Why mid-2011, Sony is still selling laptops with 2010 versions of Intel Core i-series?
The bottom line: Sony Vaio line of laptops, including the EB series of average prices are great and include some high-end features - just the desire of the CPU has been upgraded as a matter of battery life.
There is no denying that Sony makes great hardware laptop. Your brand Vaio is often an option to go for the design-minded buyers and the relative scarcity of the brand in retail stores (compared to HP, Dell, and others) makes it desired by those who want to highlight the laptop crowd. Add in the fact that most of the Vaio records are top of the price range and has a single line laptop Apple MacBook Pro can make populist feel by comparison.
The Vaio is a series of Vaio and less expensive, and this one Vaio EB (the reasoning behind the naming scheme Vaio still eludes us, after years of study), the clock at $ 799, but can be found for $ 50 to $ 100 less online. For the absolute quality of the physical hardware that receives - this system looks smooth and feels solid - it's good business. However, it is sad that EB44FX carry an outdated CPU.
For a laptop launched in mid 2011 for an afternoon of 2010, Intel Core i3 is inexcusable. This is not just a case of keeping up appearances - the current Intel chips do not bring only one reasonable interpretation of collision, but the battery life significantly improved and better integrated graphics. Most notebook manufacturers have removed the older parts (except perhaps for lower end systems the budget), and the average price of a laptop like this, Sony should do the same.
In our informal conversations with buyers of laptops in recent years, it is safe to say that in addition to Apple, Sony is probably the No. 1 brand of choice laptop design snobs (a term I use without prejudice, as is likely to apply to us). Although not as fancy as the high-end S series Vaio laptops or Z, the series model and remains a good observer.
Our review unit came with a pearl white interior, offset by a gray lid and black base. Sony is a great laptop defender pop of color, variety of colors available, and many current models of Sony Vaio laptop can be used with a keyboard skin pre-installation.
These layers of rubber, which are designed to fit specific models of Vaio laptop, come in a variety of colors, and cover the area of the entire keyboard, from beginning to end. To hear Sony say they have been incredibly popular, and almost everyone who purchases a Vaio notebook Sony store comes with one or two of these $ 20.
In fact, it's fun to change the look of your laptop in an instant - the range of skin colors of the keyboard fits perfectly into the existing project, and if you choose a complementary color, it can seem as if the laptop has designed that way in the first place.
The skins, however, Sony made an excellent keyboard a bit harder to use. They look good, but not well enough, the rubber skin and moved enough in the fingers that more mistakes than usual. With practice we did get better, and of course the keyboard skins are completely optional.
The keys of space on the island has been the favorite style, with change of size and Enter. This midrange model also has a full numeric keypad and there is a trio of quick launch buttons above the keyboard (from outside the area covered by the keyboard of the skin). The quick launch buttons to launch a set of self-help support, a web browser and the owner of Sony multimedia software.
The touch pad, though not as large as it could be a system of this size, which was especially nice to use, thanks to a slightly raised dot pattern, a tactile feedback offered enough. Large left and right to sit under, and all the touch-pad package focuses on the space bar, which means it is slightly to the left in the chassis and the keyboard is offset by the keypad on the right.
You may want to go to the configuration of the touch pad and scroll zone to reduce the standard right. It always seemed too broad in Sony laptops, and are constantly accidentally shooting when you move the cursor.
15.5 inches screen is one of the few areas where the lowest price is evident. The screen resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels, which is very common that the budget for half price 15-inch laptops, but the Vaio EB seems a more expensive machine, so our eyes wait for a higher screen resolution. Off-axis view was decent, but the screen is so bright that it easily picked up glare and reflections from nearby lights.
As a nice bonus, the display technology from Intel Wifi included. With it, you can stream the desktop (including video or photos) to close any TV with the help of a receiver box, sold separately. Not fast enough for games, but video playback is great.
