Typing on the keyboard also proves to be overall very pleasant. Nothing of the yielding keyboard (see design) is noticed during normal typing. Sony's service center (Assist), the quick web operating system (Web) and a multimedia center (Vaio) are opened via these keys These keys are "Assist", "Web" and "Vaio". Merely three have made their way onto the keyboard. The Sony Vaio EHZ1E/B doesn't have many hot keys. The keys are only moderately dimensioned with 14x14 millimeters, but have a sufficient size. This makes large key gap of 5 millimeters, in addition to a numpad, possible. Accessing the hard disk isn't possible.Īs in the Sony Vaio EH1M1E/W, Sony also uses a chiclet keyboard with free-standing keys in the Vaio EHZ1E/B, which extends over the notebook's entire width. Booting the laptop is faster, but the functionality is limited to Internet surfing or writing emails. Thus, Microsoft Office Starter 2011 and Skype belong to the more reasonable software.įurthermore, Sony gives the option of starting a mini operating system via the Quickweb button. Many of the included programs will hardly ever be used, but there are also a few feasible programs. About 75 programs are already pre-installed on the Sony notebook and the task manager indicates about 90 running processes. The Sony laptop comes with an extensive software bundle. Moreover, there are further warranty extensions in Sony's online shop, which extend the warranty to 3 or 4 years. If the newly acquired laptop is registered at Sony, an additional year is granted. Sony equips the laptop with a basic warranty of 1 year. Except for the usual printed documentation and the warranty certificate, there is nothing in the box. There's not much to say here about the Sony EH1Z1E/B. Bluetooth is also available and is delivered in version 3.0 +HS. It supports the standards IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. Users who prefer going on the Internet wirelessly can do this with the WLAN adapter form Atheros. A Gigabit Ethernet adapter from Realtek takes care of wired connections. The Sony Vaio EH1Z1E/B doesn't have a lack of communication options. The notebook's manufacturing quality is basically impressive. In return, it is quite insensitive to pressure applied from the back. Only little pressure on both corners is enough to warp it. Unfortunately, the display isn't quite as rigid as we'd have liked it. The keyboard yields marginally under high pressure, but then only above the optical drive. The keyboard is also stable, even if not quite as stable as the wrist rest. It doesn't even yield under high selective pressure. The wrist rest could hardly be more rigid. The EH1Z1E/B even fares well in our pressure tests. However, the surface not only looks interesting, it also has a pleasant feel and prevents fingerprints. The reflections on the surface change depending on the viewing angle. As previously the EH1M1E/W, the special surface again looks good in the black model. A white model, like the EH1M1E/W, is no longer available. The Vaio EH1Z1E/B is only offered in a black and blue version. The Sony Vaio EH1Z1E/B uses the same case as the Sony EH1M1E/W (but in white).
