    Should be okay, but of course you can get better for the money. I'm buying an EA series with same graphics.
    I can't find the exact specs of that one but it has the Radeon 5650?
    Review of similar to yours:
    Review Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S1E/BJ Notebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews

    The graphics have been de-clocked (read in the review), presumably to reduce heat. I'm hoping they can be overclocked / clocked up to normal levels, can anyone confirm?
