review

Vaio EB1JFX / B does not have dedicated graphics and the Intel Media Accelerator handles HD video playback well, and for those looking only for the media Vaio laptop series E, is an important aspect of a continuous video and large, bright big screen . The, bright, glossy 16×9-pixel LED display on the Vaio EB1JFX / B measures 15.5 cm in diameter and looks sort of even greater when it is used.Good good speakers with a bass and treble
TV-quality stereo speakers are ideal for watching movies and video sharing.With the Cnet’s battery draining test this laptop proved itself as cool gadget as it worked better than its peers like HP ProBook 5310m and HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx.Though it

review

People who look for some light weight good notebooks with better battery life would love it.It is available in different colors looks cool and performs good.Logo is big on back which i didn’t liked.Though i like its G-sensor which enables it to protect from free-fall for the hard drive. Whenever excessive movement is detected the drive heads are locked to help protect the hard drive.Along with Three USB ports,100Mb Ethernet, VGA out, an SD card reader, microphone and headphone outputs along with 1.6GHz Intel Atom N280, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive.

Though built-in Wi-Fi®, wired Ethernet, a Webcam, three USB ports,

Bluetooth® and 3G Mobile Broadband on select models

It has good Wi-fi software which enables you to get instant picture of signal strength and available networks in your nearby places, in the shape of a solar system diagram. Style points are not there for the extended battery as well as the 2.93 pound weigh
Battery life is quite good for this family type of laptops.Environmental family things are used in its manufacturing the mini NB200 is built using eco-conscious practices, materials and packaging

Better battery life
ConfigFree is good

Misfits
I hate the glowing power button in middle you might like it.
Bulky Battery
Lacks Bluetooth
No 3g
No internal DVD you have to go for seperate ones.Though it can’t be called as misfit due to its portability and size but we would love to see it also.
