Official VAIO E Series Owners Thread

lmaestro :
I guess it really depends on your needs and preference.
Personally I like larger screen as I do a lot of photoshop stuff, and if I were to choose smaller screen Vaio, I would choose the S-series instead.

I can't comment myself as I have the HD version, but I hear the screen on the lower resolution EB is pretty low quality. If at all possible, you should try to drop by a Sony store to take a look.

the screen is basically the same as every other screen in the same price range.

And that's something what you wouldn't expect from Sony

Anyone played Dragon Age with their EB series laptop yet? At full HD res, high detail?

Hi Guys,

just one more question about sonystyle ordering. How long it normally takes until they authorize the credit card payment? My order's status is still: "Your payment is currently pending authorization." 1 or 2 days or more?

Thx,
V

It took about 3 days for me - no need to worry yet

Thanks Mythdat, so I better put myself into a relax mode then

I've just received my E Series a couple of days ago. I've noticed the hard drive underneath the right-hand side of the palmrest is constantly making a high-pitched whinning noise, and it's starting to annoy me.

Has anyone else experienced the same?


Here're the specs, in case they're somehow relevant:

Core i5 430M 2.26Ghz
4GB RAM
ATI HD5650 1GB video card
1920x1080 LCD
320GB SATA 5400rpm HDD
Blu-ray Player
Windows 7 Home Premium x64

I think i hear this too,i have the 500gb version
500gb > hts545050b9s hitachi

The noise is a side effect of most modern Intel CPUs in pretty much any laptop, it's an electronic resonance caused when the CPU switches to lower voltage when it's idle. You should find that if you load up at least one of the cores, the noise disappears. Consider yourself unlucky that your ears are sensitive to it, it's too high pitched for a lot of people to hear
