For most people, VAIO EB be a "right" size. Its 15.5-inch widescreen LCD provides ample space on the screen to work in some applications or view video, but the laptop is truly portable. Measuring 14.6 inches wide and 9.8 cm deep, the VAIO is small enough to carry around comfortably, and weighs 5.6 pounds, it will not break your shoulder.
Characteristic
Sony VAIO PCV-powers EB13FXBI the middle child of the last family of Intel processors for notebooks, the basic 430M 2.26 i5. The laptop also has a capacity of 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and a large 500GB hard drive at 5400 rpm Europe. As with many portable and affordable, it uses integrated graphics (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD) instead of a discrete video card. The VAIO is running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit).
Even if the native resolution of 1366 x 768 LCD is not high enough to display 1080p full HD video, the monitor conveniently display the video. I watched a couple episodes of "White Collar" is Hulu, as well as a number of test video at 1080p and the quality was excellent. Colors were saturated, bright and sharp. Unfortunately, the speakers were very weak, lacking both the volume and bass.
While the attention of Sony to design, implement gates on the left side of the laptop is nothing short of disgusting. VGA, HDMI and eSATA, all to be nice, do not flush with the side and pull shaped like a sore thumb steel. ExpressCard 34 slot sits behind a plastic door that was almost impossible to open. In front of the platform is the SD card and Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo slot. The front has a Wi-Fi power button and headphone jack and microphone. On the right are three USB ports in a row, as well as DVD-ROM drive.
