Your choices include a 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor and an i7 quad-core processor. The i5 is the base choice, with the option to upgrade to the tel core i5-11400 at an additional price.

The LED-backlit display provides amazing contrast and graphics. It features an anti-reflective coating that reduces light reflection and glare so that you can enjoy a better view. You can expect a 1366x768 resolution on this 15.5-inch display.

The video card plays an important role in how quickly a laptop runs - especially if you're trying to run something that takes up a lot of memory and speed. The more powerful a video card is, the less your PC will have to borrow from memory in order to display graphics. The base selection for this laptop is Intel high definition graphics (4000). This should be enough for you, unless you want to play a lot of games. If you want to play games, you'll need to go with the AMD Radeon HD card. Both 1 GB and 2 GB choices are available.

One of the areas in which the Sony VAIO SVE151290X really stands out is the hard drive. This laptop can hold a larger hard drive than the average laptop. It comes with a whopping 500 GB of storage space (5400 rpm). If that isn't enough for you, you can go up to 1 GB. That is a lot of storage space for your music, files, documents, applications, etc.

This notebook also has plenty of memory. The base option is 6 GB (4 GBx1 + 2 GB+1) DDR3 (1600 MHz). There is an option to go up to 8 GB (4 GB x 2) if you need more.
