Features Key features of the Sony VAIO E Series
1.65 GHz
Rated 100% by by John-Graham (Dec, 2011)I have played a lot of DVDs and Blu-rays and this is a better player than the one I use in my family room.
screen size
15.5"
11.6"
12.1"
VAIO E Series by Elizabeth-Kapatos (Apr, 2012)It doesn't feel huge because it's so light but the screen size is amazing for the price.
VAIO E Series by Mary-B.-Deats (Dec, 2011)I do like the raised keys (like a Mac), the size of the screen is suitable for my needs, the finish is great on it.
screen resolution
VAIO E Series by Michael-Choi--cmikerunit (Jun, 2010)The screen is 15.5" and while its not 1440x900 resolution like on my previous macbook pro, I don't feel deprived of the extra pixel detail.
VAIO E Series by TrustedReviews (May, 2011)Being 1,600 pixels wide makes it a lot easier to fit documents side-by-side and the extra 132 vertical pixels you gain over most laptop displays makes browsing long documents and web pages a little easier.

VAIO E Series by Parker-Hallam (Oct, 2012)I wanted the latest and decided on intel core i5 3210M processor with 2.5 GHz and 6 GB DRAM.
VAIO E Series by GUILLERMO-MADURO-VAZQUEZ--Guillo (Mar, 2011)Excellent graphical performance with photo-related applications.Dual-core 2.4 GHz processor is perfect for business use.Comfortable, straightforward spaced-layout keyboard.
processor
VAIO E Series by Brian_ChargersFan (Jun, 2012)Don't be fooled, I was surprised at how fast and snappy the Pentium dual core processor is in this system.
VAIO E Series by Raheen-Ballard--RahPros: Keeping in mind this is clearly not a top of the line gaming or video-editing machine...you are getting what you pay for:-4GB of RAM and dual core CPU make for good multitasking.
memory
| 0 GB | 8 GB   | 8 GB |
VAIO E Series by A.A. (Jun, 2012)Unlike other laptops that fill out all the ram slots, this one uses only one slot for the 4GB RAM so adding more doesn't mean replacing.
Performance Real world tests of Sony VAIO E Series
battery life
5.67 hour
4 hour
7 hour
VAIO E Series by Fernand-Raynaud (Jun, 2012)The trade-off is you can carry this with you everywhere, it's thin and light, it's a fast processor, and it runs for many hours on a charge (not 8, come on, unless you're into watching the screen-saver or nodding out and typing with your forehead in Notepad).
VAIO E Series by APH (Sep, 2012)> wake cycle is really fast, and I am happy with the battery life (~3 hours if I don't do anything crazy with it).
