    Anyone own this model and what their opinions of it are?

    It is a Sony Vaio E series 15.5 inch laptop with Core i3-370M. Will be used at work by a mum to go on the Internet, Skype, music and movies (via connection to the LCD tv). Office type applications as well will be used.

    Any specific issues with this model I need to be aware of?

    Cheers!

    Specs: VPCEB4J0E/WI (VPCEB4J0E/WI) : Technical Specifications : VAIO and Computing : Sony

    I just bought an E series laptop and must say its a good machine and pretty quick to load.

    I got the i3-370m with 4Gb Ram and 500Gb hard disk for £500; the matte black version.

    I fancied the white initially but looking at it in shop it would turn beige quickly in the halls :) in the end its a a matter of taste really

    But definetely it should suit her

    I bought for my mom one year ago an EB with full HD 15.5 screen, i3, ATI 5650, 500 GB, 4GB RAM and bluray. It is the glossy black version.

    She is extremely satisifed with it. Her usage is more or less what you described.
