he Sony VAIO e series Blu-ray i7 edition laptop

The Sony Vaio E Series 17 offers decent overall performance, along with a Full HD screen and a Blu-ray player. Nearly every part is configurable when you buy it so you can opt for lesser specs if you can't afford this top model.
My review model came with an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 7650M graphics card,
The E 17 I was given to rip into while laughing maniacally packed an Intel Core i7-3612QM processor clocked at 2.1GHz, along with a healthy 8GB of RAM. You can spec the E 17 up to be as powerful as you want -- or more realistically, as you can afford.
Oddly, my 8GB of RAM isn't available on Sony's own store but it is through Laptops Direct. If you want something less wallet clenching then you can opt for a Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, a lower screen resolution, no dedicated GPU, a DVD drive and no keyboard backlighting, which will cost you a much more palatable £490. You shouldn't expect it to give anything like the same level of performance -- the only similarity to my model would be the chassis.

The Sony Vaio E Series 17 offers a satisfying serving of power, a Blu-ray drive and a high-definition screen, making it a great option for movie lovers who want to catch up on their favourite flicks from the bed or the sofa. Its price might be a tad steep for some, but you could always sacrifice power for a much lower price when configuring your purchase, while still keeping the Vaio name glistening on top.

   As a conclusion, this PC is simply an excellent buy with great feature set and good value. Can’t believe how powerful this laptop is great for running legacy software. And the new features are easy enough to learn. The screen quality. I do design-related work, and this is an nice screen as far as laptops go. The text is clear, and the colours are vibrant.  As the review says, it is plastic looking, but IMO not in a bad way. It feels pretty solid too. The black colour has a soft sheen finish. Furthermore, I great flickering images can be created. This is the best laptop our group found so far.
