LaptopMag has reviewed the Sony VAIO E Series 11 (SVE11113FXB) ultra-portable laptop. Designed for those who are always on-the-go, the laptop is powered by a 1.70 GHz AMD E2-1800 dual-core processor and an AMD Radeon HD 7340M graphics. Measuring 11.4 x 8 x 0.9-1.3 inches and weighing 3.2 pounds, the laptop also offers a 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard disk drive. Here is the verdict:

Those who like the idea of owning a laptop that's as portable as a netbook but offers more graphics power will find the VAIO E Series 11 to be an attractive choice. Of course, a sub-$500 15-inch notebook is the way to go if performance is a priority. But if you want a cheap secondary PC for travel or you're heading off to school this low-cost VAIO is certainly worth a look. It's attractive, offers good sound, and comes loaded with useful software.
