1.0 out of 5 starsDead on arrival

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2013

I am so disappointed. This was the first time I had purchased a computer from Amazon and it has been a nightmare. Took the computer out, tried to turn it on and then called Tech support. Tech support informed us that it was broken but that any warranty or replacement would have to come from Amazon. I called Amazon and was told that the item was no longer available and that it would take 3-5 days to receive a replacement. We were sent a pick up order and delivered the computer to UPS for the return. I call today and am told that the replacement won't ever be available, BUT there is an updated unit for only $70 more. So buy the new one and we will issue a refund for the first one when we get around to it. I'm just plain disgusted. I have dealt with Amazon for many years and never had this experience. That is why I chose to buy a computer for my university student daughter. The old saying: "BUYER BEWARE" is apropro!

3.0 out of 5 starsWould have loved it... Except for Win 8

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2012

Size: 14-InchColor: WhiteVerified Purchase

I loved this computer. After doing lots of research looking for a computer to suit my needs I settled for the Sony Vaio E series. The keyboard is phenomenal - Beautiful backlighting (a novelty to me), no keyboard flex (great because I type frequently and quickly), and the keys themselves were awesome. The screen was very bright - An all around very attractive computer. Startup time was also great... UNTIL:
Within 24 hours of having this computer I started noticing glitches within the mousepad. Very frustrating. Also, after stalling Windows 8 "updates" my computer completely crashed. I spent 2 hours on the phone with tech support while my brand new PC had to completely reset. Needless to say it was a nightmare. It just froze on the start screen and wouldn't work even after restarting!

Finally, though I realize this is not Sony's fault -- My initial excitement was detracted by the fact that I soon noticed there was a small, but undoubtedly worsening crack in the plastic material surrounding the black trim of the computer. There were actually some wires exposed. Also, upon arrival the keyboard was popped out of place - While this is insignificant because ultimately the keyboard was fine, it is extremely frustrating that Amazon ships their products in these states.

Ultimately, I wish Sony should have kept their Windows 7 E series around a little longer.. Definitely avoid.

1.0 out of 5 starsI really wanted to like this item.I really really did.

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

I had really high hopes for this laptop.I was particularly interested in the Sony VAIO E Series for its price point, the build and design, it has good specs, and I loved the idea of having a backlit keyboard as this feature is more in high end laptops and was getting out of my budget.I looked up numerous YouTube videos and models for a solid week or so and came down to this particular one for the price, color, and screen size.

First impressions were good. I loved the packaging and box, and upon taking the laptop out, the design is absolutely gorgeous. It's very sleek and sharp.

The problems then started coming as I was setting the laptop up; first thing I noticed right out of the gates.

- A whole section of my backlit keyboard was defective. I even took it into a dark room and tested it constantly and fiddled through the settings just to make sure I didn't have a incorrect setting enabled or something needed to be enabled.

- The laptop was uneven on my desk. You could push down on one side and the laptop would slightly wobble. I tested this on several desks and counters around the house.

- The hard drive constantly made a scanning noise, even when the laptop was idle, I double and TRIPLE checked processes running in the background, but for some reason, the laptop began to be really noisy and there was nothing I could do to subdue the noise coming from the HD.

- The touchpad is an absolute nightmare to use. Scrolling is choppy, the cursor skips everywhere on the screen when typing.

I've owned many laptops ranging from HP, Toshiba, Apple, Dell.This was my first Sony VAIO product and I had high hopes as Sony is always known for their quality VAIO line.I was extremely taken back and disappointed on this model. I had high hopes and REALLY wanted to like it as its the best looking laptop around this price point.

I don't know if I got a lemon, but based on these models posted on Amazon, the reviews are very scattered from 1 star to 5 star ratings.It seems that the quality control and testing maybe wasn't very thorough.I will be returning this and maybe expanding my budget a bit to get something with more quality control, because this laptop needs some serious work.

2.0 out of 5 starsHousing is poorly designed

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

This unit is a capable laptop and had had no electrical problems. BUT the housing feels cheap and paper thin. Seams pop loose and get caught on clothing or backpack. The glossy screen is already scratched by the keys after one week in a backpack. The black finish shows every single fingerprint so you'll feel like it needs washing every time you pick it up. When I bought a Sony I figured I was getting a top tier product and am disappointed.I normally keep laptops for years, but this one probably won't make it.

5.0 out of 5 starsSony Vaio E Series

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was very happy when I received this laptop. After doing research and looking at my budget, I thought this would be the best fit for me. I am mainly using it for web browsing and photo editing. So far, it does everything I need it to.

If you're looking at a higher end windows product, I would go with a Sony Vaio E series. I'm particularly an Apple fan, but a Macbook pro was not in my budget. So I went with the next best thing! I'm still getting used to Windows 8, but it's very easy to use once you get the hang of how everything works.

So if you're looking for a higher quality computer for photo editing, school work or just browsing the internet - I would highly recommend this laptop. It gets the job done and doesn't hurt your wallet.

5.0 out of 5 starsSony VAIO Series SVE14132CXW 14"

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is my first Sony VAIO purchase and I have to say it's really good! It's design is beautiful as well as the Sea-foam color I believe that's what it's called. It has a beautifully back-lit keyboard makes it very easy to see at night obviously but in the day too it looks really nice. It's very lightweight and thanks to it's 5400RPM HDD it does not get hot at all which is a relief because this is a problem I have run into with other laptops.
It comes with an Intel i3 processor which is great for everyday tasks and having several programs open. I use Cisco Packet Tracer while listening to music on YouTube or Pandora and having my browser, Mozilla open with multiple tabs open and it handles it very well.
I plan on slapping another 2 gigs to this PC to run better because I need it but for everyday use and stuff it should be fine.
This PC comes with Windows 8! As stated on the product specs. Okay Windows 8 is pretty good, yes it has a new interface but not so different honestly. When the PC boots you will be prompted with MS new Metro UI (User Interface). It 's very nice actually the apps are pretty cool and it just shows where OS(operating system(s)) are going. Many people have approached Windows 8 with a negative attitude because of the interface but if you look back when the transition went from WinXP to Windows Vista soon after Windows 7 people reacted the same but then got used to it and so I believe that's how Windows 8 is going to be.
*I do advise you to invest 5 dollars in a program called Start8* This program brings back the Start button that we are so used to seeing in Windows 7 and it functions just like Windows 7 and it makes the transition a little less painful with all the extra clicking that Windows 8 forces us to make.

Graphics are good too it's nothing spectacular but hey it's good enough. This PC can edit HD & 3D videos it's sort of like Windows Movie Maker, and it comes with Sound Forge where you can create your own music which is pretty cool don't think I will use it but somebody else probably will.
In the package where the instruction manual comes will be a promotional credit where Sony gives you 3 credits for you to use on Google Play where you can watch 3 movies of your choice with the selection given unlimited times. I don't think you can download it which is unfortunate but still it's 3 movies.

I know this is a long review and not the best but I do hope it has helped anyone interested in getting this PC.
Overall, it's a great PC. This is not suited for somebody needing to have Photoshop open with some Adobe Illustrator and 10 tabs on your browser open. But more for someone with little-moderate use and also this is price range I was looking for as well.
Feel free to leave a comment or a question andI will try to answer it to the best of my ability!
Regards,

Andrew Ramirez

I received this computer and in the 2 months that I had it the hard drive crashed, worst of all while i was doing a HW assignment. I had to send it back to Sony to get the hard drive replaced!? Then when I got it back of course everything I purchased was deleted off (Microsoft office, virus software) How crazy that would happen right? Mind you I take excellent care of my computer so it was no fault of my own I just assume I was sold a lemon, I still had all the original plastic on the laptop when it crashed so I sent it back basically brand new. Thank god i had just purchased an extended warranty like a week prior otherwise id be even more SOL lol so What I've learned from this experience personally don't buy electronics on amazon, others experiences hopefully varied.

4.0 out of 5 starsSony Vaio Laptop

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2013

Nice laptop but I am a little disappointed in the lighted keys. They work great in low light which of course is why we wanted lighted keys. The problem is they light up even in a well lit room, which has a reverse effect on visibility of the keys. I simply can not see the letters or characters in a well lit room. I think part of the problem is that the keys are white. Normally, I prefer white keys, but with the added light, it presents a problem. I have not found a way to turn the light off, but there may very well be a way to do that. If I find a way to turn the light off, I will add to this review at that time. The keys have a nice feel and the laptop is the usual Sony quality.

I love the size, color and style of this computer, as well.as the lighted keys, and optical drive. However, it does not suit me due to the track pad, requiring too much pressure to be placed on the mandatory right upper corner in order to make screen choices. I also wish that Windows did not require antivirus purchases and additional maintenance software purchases for prime functionality.
