Excellent battery life, power and size for the price.
By Alana
**Initial Ruminations**I only had a few, meagre requirements when purchasing a new laptop/netbook...It must be:1) Compact and lightweight2) Excellent battery life3) Powerful enough for photo/graphic editing, and programming IDE's4) Low costThe line between netbooks and laptops is quite blurred these days. The only real difference between a netbook and a laptop is usually if it has an optical media device (such as a DVD burner/drive). I never use optical media these days so that is not an issue for me.This net/lap/ultra book blurs the line completely; call it what you like. I would consider it to be a laptop since it has 4 gigs of ram (upgradeable to 8). Maybe it is really a lower end ultrabook.Regardless,there are not too many laptops/netbooks that fit my needs as specified above! In order to get a small, powerful laptop you generally have to pay out the wazoo for an ultrabook. Not any more, the Sony Vaio E2-1800 fits the bill perfectly!**Stock Windows Benchmark**I took a snip of the Windows Experience Index:[...]Most bloatware was disabled when I ran this. I am currently trying to unlock the BIOS which could help the processor speed if I can overclock it a bit. I would like to upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM but it will probably be bottle necked by the CPU.I should mention I have the Canadian version of this - it is for all intents and purposes identical but it has a slightly larger battery (for up to 7.5 hours of use) and larger hard drive.**Real-life Usage/Features**I can run jdownloader, browse the web with many tabs open, run photoshop, watch a movie with no lag at all.**Look and Feel**The tactile feel of the keyboard soft and quiet, feels well built overall.Another plus is the "gesture" touch pad... I don't need to use the touchpad mouse buttons at all.The white colour is a glossy, sparkly white on the outside. The screen bezel is glossy black. The screen is glossy. The keyboard, touch pad and keys are silvery white with chrome accents. The sides and bottom are black.**Integrated Peripherals**The webcam seems to be a generic quality laptop cam, but with HD resolutions. With the bundled software the picture rez goes to 2560x2048 and has a digital zoom. The video goes to 1280 x 1024.It's got a bunch of software features for the webcam including the "Gesture Control": if you use Media Gallery you can wave your hand in the air to change songs, pause adjust volume and what not, kind of like a remote. This works poorly in the dark even when your hand is visible. Seems mostly gimmicky but it's kind of a neat idea. It also comes bundled with lots of (optional) cloud software to organize your media, and the camera has various "face-tracking" abilities (Sony calls it an "Exmor Sensor" camera) along with plenty of ways to use this (ie. making an avatar move with your facial movements). I don't know if these features are common to most webcams, as I don't know much about them. The actual picture in low-light mode is quite good compared to my past laptops.**Speaker Quality**For a netbook / laptop the sound is what you would expect, no bass, however it goes much louder than other laptops I have had. Quote from Sony "xLoud technology enhances speaker volume without sacrificing quality.". I am sure if you left it cranked up it would affect the battery life quite a bit. It's nice to have the option of loud sound though, in case you want to watch a movie or stream music for friends.**Conclusion**This little 'book packs a punch in a small package. It may be even better if I can unlock the BIOS and give it more juice. However, even at stock it is a light weight solution, packs a bit of oomph without sacrificing battery life, so if this is what you are looking for don't hesitate to try it out!
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful.A terrific laptop
By Dustin Farahnak
There's a lot to love about this little bugger.First of all, it's light and small. It's just large enough to be comfortable to type on.I'm a big fan of AMD, a company local to me where several of friends work, but I admit their chips are not at quite at level Intel's are for raw performance. This is not the most powerful laptop, but it is snappy for web surfing and decodes h.264 basically instantly. For Netflix, web surfing, document editing, and other every day uses, this laptop is up to the task.For games, I found the framerates surprisingly pretty good for Dead Space, but it struggled with La Noire. Skyrim on medium settings was playable.Battery life is excellent. It's been on for five hours now.Keyboards are a matter of personal taste. I prefer the old Thinkpad keyboards, but this island style is more attractive and has a nice feel. I can type around 80% as fast on this laptop as I can on my desktop.There isn't too much bloatware installed... Sony is better about this than most, but I removed the Office trial, Kapersky, and Windows "Essentials". It didn't make much difference in performance.The screen is small but gorgeous; the fit and finish is as good as any laptop I've ever had. I glanced at how to disassemble it and it plainly would be an enormous pain, like most laptops these days.There is no optical drive. No blu ray, no DVD, no CD. If you have access to a computer with such a drive, you can easily make isos and mount them for use on this computer, but I download everything these days. I think a laptop is better without the extra parts.I strongly advise replacing the hard drive in this laptop with an SSD. The boot times and program loading with this setup are incredibly fast. This makes a bigger difference to most users than a more powerful processor would.This is an outstanding laptop at a reasonable price. I paired it with Case Logic QNS-111 11.6-Inch EVA Molded Netbook Sleeve (Black), which fits the laptop well and provides a lot of protection.

By Young
I am really satisfied with this purchase.First of all, shipping was very quick are accurate.(MA)Secondly, the design and performance of it are pretty reasonable considering the price at less than $500.Of course, even though the CPU from AMD is less powerful than those of Inter, it is still enough to enjoy it as a second laptop orjust for academic or casual purposes.Lastly, but significantly, its design is very good. In my opinion, nowadays there are not many adorable designs for laptops
