Sony VAIO VPC-EH14FM/B Laptop Review

Sony VAIO VPC-EH14FM/B Laptop
The VAIO VPC-EH14FM/B has a plastic exterior and palm rest that's textured like the outside of the Epcot center. Its 15.6-inch frame weighs 5.21 pounds, and would be considered fairly light compared with other same-sized laptops like the Lenovo V570-1066A9U (5.47 pounds), HP Pavilion g6-1a69us ($629.99 direct, 4 stars) (5.5 pounds), and HP Pavilion dv6-6013cl ($649.99 list, 4.5 stars) (5.5 pounds). The VAIO VPC-EH14FM/B's weight still doesn't make it the ideal mobile device. The VAIO VPC-EH14FM/B offers up a wide range of connectivity options to get you online, including 802.11n Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and Ethernet jack. For external devices, Sony has outfitted the VAIO VPC-EH14FM/B with 3 USB 2.0 ports, SD card slot, ProDuo card slot, VGA, and audio jacks, . I was disappointed that there was no USB 3.0 or at least a USB/eSATA combo port, which would have allowed users to hook up faster external hard drives with compatible interfaces. You could utilize one of the USB 2.0 ports to do this, but the data transfer speeds won't be as fast as USB 3.0 (5Gbps) or eSATA (3Gbps).
