VAIO E-Serives Compatability

[bikerboi87]

Hi

I'm looking to get a new laptop, and the one that I'm liking best is a Sony VAIO E-Series. Reading here, it looks like some people have had problems with compatibility with them unfortunately, but the models they've had problems with are the older ones.

Does anybody have experience with the Ivy Bridge ones? Specifically the E17 SVE1711C5E?

And for those interested, the specs that it will give me are below

Thanks

Nope

I ended up building myself a desktop in the end....

maybe I also build a desktop with a refrigirated surface to put the notebook on!
