The Sony VAIO E Series is a powerful computing device. This business laptop provides a wide selection of bells and whistles to ensure that you have the ability to accomplish all of your work while you're on the go. This business laptop features a unique and stunning design with a powerful Intel Core processor. One of the advantages to using the E Series is the extensive connectivity options available. However, there are a few areas on this laptop that could use some improvements and advancements.

The Sony VAIO E Series offers several bells and whistles to keep you productive and efficient while you're out on the road. The business laptop we reviewed features a large, 15.5-inch display screen with 1366-by-768-pixel resolution. This large and bright screen is ideal for creating presentations, working with images or simply viewing movies and TV shows. This Sony laptop comes in four colors and features a textured exterior that gives it a unique appearance while hiding fingerprints and exterior surface scratches.

The Sony VAIO is larger and bulkier than many similar laptops. This computing device weighs 5.97 pounds and is 1.36 inches thick. However, despite its large size, it is a solid laptop that is well built. A few bumps and rough handling will not do much damage to this computing device.

This business laptop has a wide assortment of features. Many of these are included as built-in software. Even though we were impressed with this laptop's large selection of tools and features, this computing device did not receive full marks. One drawback is that the touchpad featured on this laptop does not support any type of multi-touch gestures.

We were also disappointed that this laptop offers only a six-hour battery life. With this short battery life, be prepared to fully charge your computer's battery if you plan to be away from your charger and need your computer for extended periods of time.

The Intel Core i3 processor is featured on the Sony VAIO E Series. This is a powerful processor, which features speeds up to 2.3 GHz. If you desire a more powerful processor, you can configure the laptop with the Intel Core i5 processor. In addition, this business laptop offers strong graphics. The E Series features the NVIDIA GeForce 410M graphics with your choice of 512MB or 1GB of graphics memory.

The Sony VAIO E Series does not offer the largest amount of RAM or hard drive space, but it does provide plenty for all your computing needs. The Sony VAIO E Series has 4GB of RAM. It also provides 320GB of hard drive space. You can always upgrade the amount of RAM and hard drive space depending upon your needs and wants.

There are four USB 2.0 ports located on this business laptop. Three of these ports are located on the right side of the device, while the other is located on the left. An optical drive and security lock slot are also located on the right side of the business laptop, and a memory-card slot is located on the front of the device.
