Official VAIO E Series Owners Thread

damn, still no screen-pictures here from EB owners? I want to see a photo with the Windows desktop screen to see how good the colors/contrast/brightness is on these laptops.

well, today i went to go see the EB Series at my local Sony Centre Galleria, they had just gotten it in. It was the white coloured model and i am sad to say that i was truly disappointed. The palmrest was firm, not too much flex, which is good, but the material just felt like cheap plastic, not the nice type they usually have, i was hoping for something like my dad's FE atleast, and it had a type of glittery design in it. and the touchpad, the touchpad was disappointing, it was like someone had written brail all over it, that + the cheap plastic was just horrific. and then the keyboard, by the looks of it, i was expecting a normal keyboard, something like the CR's atleast, but again, it sucked, it had a weird sticky resistance, kind of like when you have had a laptop for 2-3 years and it has all sorts of treasures under the keys. the screen was nice, and the speakers weren't to shabby either. then i asked the guy working there if i could see the lid (cuz it was locked in place), so he unlocked it and since the palmrest was pretty firm and hard, i was expecting the same for the lid, to my surprise it was a matte lid, and at the first glance and feel it felt nice, like my dad's FE. but then i pushed down a bit the check the flex, and then everything went down the drain, it flexed like hell, as if they took the FE's lid, and cut 2/3 of the thickness off.

build-quality-wise, out of 10 i would rate this laptop a 4

The CW feels the same from my experience with it. Would you say the same?

Also, for under $1000 for a laptop capable of gaming isn't a bad deal, and from my experience, it might feel plastic, but it will still last many years.

Just saw the EB in Vancouver Metrotown's Sonystyle. It's nicer looking that I thought. It's not available in the one in Richmond centre yet and is not even on sonystyle.ca!

I went to a SonyStyle in DC yesterday and they still didn't have one on display.

Is the scroll sunken in and textured like the NW or is it normal and flat like the rest of the vaios?

[brandaopj]

how much battery life do you have with I5?

The full HD screen is backlit by LED.

Check This.

Interesting. Still not offered on SonyStyle US CTO Site. So damn disappointed in SonyStyle US CTO. Might be because it is located in San Diego? hehe
