Sony VAIO EE23EB Review


More unsuspecting users can become confused when buying a Sony VAIO. After all, they have several models that have few differences. However, as in every contract, there's always that warns that "we should always read the fine print of the same." The same thing goes for many of the line Sony VAIO notebooks.


In some cases, the difference is not just a few dollars in price, but in small little letters of the name of the product. And in this case, the VAIO EE23EB has differences that can be decisive for those who need a device that relies on differential and it is relevant to your new tool. And differences that other models in the series and do not possess.

Screen
He has a 15.5 inch screen. The difference may seem small at first, but ends up being considerably when we use the product in practice: an area for further work, a larger area for videos and games, a roomier screen to display internet pages and screens of text editing or tables with greater comfort. Added to all this, you have a resolution that adjusts the screen so that everything is displayed clearly, where most users will be faced with large fonts and images very well defined. For those who need to work on details in images and video, a screen is more than comfortable.

Design and physical details
He carries on the tradition of the VAIO product line, with elegant and refined lines, which become more salient in its silver color, with white ice. His air of sobriety going down very well in office environments and in lighter shades, but at the same time taken off for who he is seeing for the first time. For its size a little larger, it is a little heavier than other models we've tested here, but we believe that this specific model is more meant to replace desktops, getting most of the time in one place.

Again (and this seems to be a trend of products in the Sony VAIO), there is a maldistribution of the USB ports on your notebook. In the specific case of EE23EB, he at least has a USB port on the opposite side of the DVD drive, leaving a more practical option for anyone who wants, for example, connect a data cable to your smartphone. I repeat: for those who want to use a mouse to work with greater agility, have a certain discomfort when opening the unit, if using a mousepad. Even if not for this detail, many doors are still concentrated in only a side product. This certainly will cause problems for anyone thinking of connecting more than one device on the notebook (depending on what type of device we're talking about).

Accessibility

One of the strengths of the line Sony VAIO is its keyboard, and if the model EE23EB, this detail is even better. Besides the format chiclet keys, and well spaced, making life easier for those who need to enter many texts during the day, he has a full numeric keypad apart, as in a traditional computer keyboard. And the best part: no need to increase to almost nothing the size of the notebook for the other models in the series E.

Remembering that this product has a 15.5 inch screen, this difference was small enough that Sony put this additional keyboard, bringing a most important item for those who need flexibility and productivity when typing.

In this model, we only have a key role as ASSIST quick shortcut. As is traditional in the VAIO models, the key triggers ASSIST funds for system maintenance, or for more mundane tasks of maintaining, or even for complete restoration of the equipment where the problem is more serious. The function is designed for those who do not want to waste time calling a technician, and want a solution so that almost immediately.

Functionality and performance
EE23EB VAIO notebook is one that makes the experience very pleasant to use, making it easier for desktop users to adapt, precisely because of its side keyboard. It's another Sony notebook that most users will not have many difficulties to get started so that the product is removed from the box, because the main programs for basic use of home users, business and educational purposes are pre-installed in the product simply by the user to install additional programs for specific purposes.

In terms of performance, this model has important differences in comparison to one of the models we tested previously VAIO (PCV-EA20FB). The first is your processor. The EE23EB has an AMD Athlon Dual-Core, 2.1 GHz, which already offers a great performance for processing and implementation of programs and system applications. But to ensure that the resulting product is even better, he has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM (which can be expandable to 8 GB), and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250, ie, a board dedicated specifically to perform all the visual part of the notebook at peak performance.

The result of this set of peripheral equipment results in a performance with a very round, with no case of crash or need to reboot after a long period of work. His performance is very good boot, and even heavier programs he ran with great stability.
Some users may say that with these settings, it could well be running a more complete version of Windows 7 than the version that Sony decided to put it (Windows 7 Home Basic). Moreover, in this case in particular, it runs so well the operating system from Microsoft, we can say the old adage of football "in a winning team, not moving."
Suggested price of the product: R $ 2,299.00.
