Review Of Sony Vaio VPC – EB1JFXB
REVIEW:
The Sony Vaio VPC-EB1JFX/B is a member of the new E series, which is recently launched by Sony. The design of this laptop is very stylish. Its outer body is made up of matte silver colour. The keyboard is of matte white colour and the palm rest is of coconut white colour.
It comes with a core i3 processor. You can upgrade it to core i5 processor but you will have to pay extra $100 for that. If you want to choose a different colour from colours option then you have to pay extra $50 for that. If you want to change the colour of keyboard then you have to pay extra $20 for that. If you want to add options like Blu-ray drive then you have to pay extra $70 for that.
It gives a 15.6 inch bright screen which supports 1366×768 pixel resolutions. The colour quality of its display is very good. Its speakers are just amazing. Sound is loud and clear. It makes movie watching experience wonderful.
It comes with a raised chiclet style keyboard with an additional number pad. Its touch pad is comfortable to use. You will see three quick launch buttons located just above the keyboard. One is used to launch the web browser, one is used to provide a help program to the user and one is used to launch the Sony’s media gallery software. It has a battery life of three to four hours.
