Review Sony Vaio VPC-EE4J1E/WI Notebook

The Sony Vaio EE4J1E/WI with an Athlon II P360 (2x2.30GHz) is a home laptop with low office performance data. The incorporated GPU, ATI Radeon HD 4200, can only render the latest 3D games in low details and resolutions, if at all. Therefore, if you are serious about gaming, you should look around for at least a HD 6550 or Nvidia GT 540M.

The ergonomic key figures are very good (temperature, noise, quiet DVD drive). In return, the battery runtimes come too short due to the weak 30 watt hour battery pack. The spongy, because yielding, keyboard unfortunately risks the otherwise exemplary qualities. The layout is only slightly inferior to that of a generous desk keyboard. The pressure point is clear and the keys can be use accurately (conic concavity).

A reflective and too dark screen, that makes working in the sun almost impossible and is even annoying indoors, join in on the tight battery life. In the end, the Sony Vaio VPC-EE4J1E/WI is a stylish 15.5 incher with low performance. The market environment bids better processors (Intel Core i3) and longer battery runtimes for considerably less than 528 euros. For example, the Fujitsu Lifebook A531 with a 2010 Core i3 starting at 485 euros or the HP Pavilion G6-1032eg with a Radeon HD 6470 and the same CPU for 460 euros.
