We have tried to repeat the Benchmarks with the production model. Why Sony is using an old processor, we do not know. However, the production model comes with an Intel Core i5-2450M processor (2.5 GHz, Sandy Bridge) on the market.
This model was equipped with an Intel Core i5-3210M processor (2.5 GHz, Ivy Bridge). Note: We tested with a pre-production model. Competitors of the Sony notebook are the Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 ( Intel Core i5-3210M, NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M) and the Asus K55VM-SX064V ( Intel Core i7-3610QM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M). The notebook is also available in a diversity of other configurations. The data and applications will be saved onto a 750 GB HDD. The graphics will be handled by the AMD Radeon HD 7650M GPU. Our test device is powered by an Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor. We will test a representative of the 15.5-inch models. Sony´s models offer sizes of 11.6-inch, 14-inch, 15.5-inch and 17.3-inch. The Vaio E-Series is known for notebooks, which are intended for daily usage as well as for leisure and work.
