The VAIO E Series 11 ran warmer than the average ultraportable in our tests, but not uncomfortably so. We also noticed a narrow gap between the pad and the electronics underneath, which could lead to issues. The bottom half of the trackpad provided accurately registered left and right clicks, but we had to use more force than we'd like. The four-finger flick, which clearly displays all open programs, was especially useful. We comfortably executed pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scroll and two-finger rotation. The 3.5 x 2-inch clickable touchpad provided plenty of space for multi-touch gestures.
However, the palm rest is shorter than we'd like, which could lead to discomfort. We scored 63 words per minute on the Ten Thumbs Typing Test with a 2 percent error rate, compared with 66 words per minute on our desktop keyboard. Sound got tinnier on songs with more bass and drums, falling a bit flat when we blasted the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs' "Gold Lion" and LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem."Ĭlick to EnlargeThe keys on the VAIO E Series 11 are on the small side but comfortably spaced, allowing for quick typing. Each guitar note and chord sounded great on Feist's "I Feel It All," even at full volume. Powered by Sony's Clear Phase and xLoudClear Phase technologies, the speakers easily filled our small testing room with crisp, clear audio. Listening to music and videos on the VAIO E Series 11 was a pleasure. The screen isn't that bright, either, measuring 165 lux against the ultraportable average of 274 lux. At a 40-degree angle, even the brightest colors looked washed out. Unfortunately, viewing angles are relatively poor. Almost always sounds horrible.Click to EnlargeThe glossy 11.6-inch display on the VAIO E Seres 11 has a standard resolution of 1366 x 768 but offered a full spectrum of rich colors, bringing to life the glitz and glamor in the trailer for Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby." The bright lights of old Manhattan popped against the city's night skyline and the vibrant hues at Gatsby's great parties really shined. In some songs this it doesn’t really matter.ĭisadvantages: A long way to travel if you’re playing open chords.ĭisadvantages: Makes changing to and from other chords difficult.
Or you could use the underside of your index finger to mute the string.ĭisadvantages: Sounds a bit nasty as you have a big ‘thunk’ in the middle of the chord.ĭisadvantages: No major third note so it’s not a major chord. Like an E7 chord with the middle finger muting the C string rather than fretting it. Can be a big jump to and from open chords. It’s one of my favourite ways to play it.ĭisadvantages: The barre takes some practice. Index finger – Barre across all strings at the 4th fret. You can use individual fingers along with a mute to make this chord. If you stop the A string ringing in the triple-up, you will still have and E chord as the G string is giving you the same note. Middle finger – Muting the G string (stopping it from sounding by resting against it rather than fretting it)Ī string muted with any finger (including the underside of the ring finger). Ring finger – G, C and E strings 4th fretĭisadvantages: You need to have your ring finger leave the strings at a difficult angle so you can still hear the A string. Try them out and see if you like any of them (I don’t).ĭisadvantages: A lot of fingers to fit into a small space.ĭisadvantages: Takes some practice to get the hang of. So here are ten possible ways to play the E chord. Trying to cram all your fingers into a tiny space on the fretboard. The E chord – the bete noire of all ukulele players.
