I honestly think Sony made a a mistake with this one. Sure it has a few good things but it isnt really the next best thing.
y u think eb 12 sony is a mistake dear coz i am plaining to buy it reply
Can any one Comment on vpc e14 sony avio or which is better in that range.
Sony Vaio Eb 14 is worth the price mate, there are alternatives in Dell Studio, But the configuration is almost the same. Which city are you from? If you are from Madurai do let me know, I have a friend working in Sony marketing, I will ask him to sell it at better price.
can u give me yr mobile no, i would like to talk to u, betweem eb14 vaio and dell inspiron 15 inch.
bagawan 9940045321
will this be good for gaming?? or should i go for other alternatives like eb16 or dell studio 15??
Considering the Graphics , I would say EB 16 and Dell Studio 15 will be really good for gaming than EB 12. My personal choice is Dell. Good luck
Is sony vaio EB-14 is suitable for Engineeering purpose….like programming,,,and mainly net surfing????
Hi Thanks for visiting ByteChip, Sony Vaio EB 14 is suitable for engineering purpose. Also Check out Dell Studio 15.
Hey.. am planning out to buy laptop. Which 1 do u suggest Eb14 or Lenovo G450? Am not looking out for other choice. could you help me out with a comparison? Sorry for the trouble
There r many features that is only speciality for sony like Vaio care ,PMB (picture motion browser),Assist,Quick access web and the design is damn good….And one more thing Sony doesn’t use third party devices.They manufacture most of their components.So its reliable…..
hi guys, I’ was looking for a best laptop since 2 years, finally ordered Sony Vaio EB14 model… I was searching in net like anything, huh.. finally stopped at this model. Hope its really nice one.
I am a techie, was verifying for a best laptop from 1 year… finally ordered this laptop yesterday, hopr this is good.. [:)]

Great Bhargav, Contact us at rkdperil@gmail.com for any further help
How do you say it compares to Dell studio 15 ?
Dell has 1gb graphic memory vs sony’s 512 mb ??
Dell’s Hdd spins @ 7200 rpm while sony’s spin @ 5400 rpm..
I am plannin to buy sony eb14, but looking at dell’s studio 15, (costs 44k) that is tempting too..
So which one do I go for ?? Dell/Sony ?
Considering aesthetics, build, and everything ??
I have the same model.
Does this machine supports Linux ( Redhat / fedora ) ?
Nope brother it does not supprot but you can make it workable by doing parlell installation of the operating system
You can use ubuntu.
