Sony Laptop : A Full HD 15.5-inch laptop from Sony that you can afford
For your $807.07 the Sony VAIO SE1 laptop that’s available today offers a Silver styled body, a 15.5-in. LED back-lit 1080p screen, a 2.40GHz Intel Core i5-2430M dual-core processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 640GB (5400RPM) hard drive storage, AMD Radeon HD 6470M 512MB discrete graphics, webcam, SuperMulti CD/DVD burner, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, USB 2.0 & USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, memory card slot, and Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
The laptop as you can read is very well equipped for the price. If you would like to take advantage of the below manufacturer pricing you need to simply head over to this Tigerdirect page and place your order.
A downside for this particular Sony Vaio is the battery isn’t easily removable (must use screwdriver and take off the entire bottom plate), it’s embedded into the laptop. With the inability to simply swap battery packs in and out of the machine Sony is leaving you with only one option for extra battery life on the move, buy their proprietary Sony VAIO S Series sheet battery (model number:VGP-BPSC29).
The sheet battery can come included depending on the retailer you chose to purchase from, but on the Sony website you have to pay an extra $149.99 for sheet battery on top of what you’re already paying for the laptop. Sony says you should be able to achieve up to 12 hours of battery life with the VAIO SE1 and sheet battery combined. I’ve seen some third-party sellers offering the VAIO S Series sheet battery for as low as $97.00 shipped.
Other than the battery this Sony, like other Sony’s before it, does come with a lot of pre-installed software that you really don’t need. Some 20GB of space on the 640GB hard drive this laptop comes with is taken up by software that one could easily consider to be pure bloatware. Uninstalling the programs from the hard drive is pretty painless.
