The palm rest surfaces, keyboard, underside and edges are all taut and practically incompressible with a finger.
That’s not to say it’s of poor quality - quite the opposite in fact. Getting straight to the point, the build is plastic all around, which is expected from a notebook in this price range. In terms of quality, the 2012 Vaio E is similar to the model from the year prior. While the Vaio E is also available in 15.5-inch models starting for around $40 less than the base 14-inch Vaio E, we’ll concentrate first on the more compact 14-inch model in this review. The sample unit under review has been configured to be about $700 retail with a standard-voltage Sandy Bridge CPU, Intel WiDi and a Blu-Ray drive – three options not normally found on inexpensive notebooks of this size.
The 14-inch 2012 Vaio E starts at under $500 and is available in black, blue, pink or white, but the base model will leave the user with only an Intel Pentium B960 CPU and a DVD burner. With the new E Series, the Japanese manufacturer is now aiming directly for budget buyers while attempting to maintain as much of the style in “SonyStyle” that can normally be found in some of their more expensive Vaio families. Prior to its introduction, notebooks from Sony were mostly seen as “high-end” with fewer options for users on a budget. Announced in early 2010, The Vaio E Series is still relatively new to the Sony lineup of notebooks.
