In a knockout combo, Sony will release not 1, but 3 new VAIO notebook (namely the X, CW and NW) series along with a new VAIO desktop L series, giving us 7 spanking new products. All the computers will be available in Singapore at end October, with prices to be released.
The X series:
Remember Apple’s MacBook Air? Well, the X series is Sony’s version. It’s mainly targeted at people who want a laptop that’s almost as light as a netbook, at just over 600 grams, yet having the computing power of regular size notebooks. Business users who travel frequently will love to know that their laptop can last up to 16 hours of continuous use with the introduction of the VAIO X series’ 8-cell battery option.
It’s also Sony’s first 3G notebook model, equipped with WWAN for users to stay connected to high-speed Internet on the go. The VAIO X series features a high quality 11.1’’ wide, LED-backlit display along with a convenient multi-finger gesture touch pad for easy flick and zoom navigation.
The VAIO X comes in 2 colours, limited edition Gold and Black.
The CW series:
Targeted at gamers and those who enjoy watching videos on their notebooks, the 14-inch Real Wide LCD screen delivers colorful, breathtaking images. Users will also be able to create high definition videos using the exclusive VAIO Media Gallery, with music tracks of their own choice, without having to use other applications for different media files.
Other notable features of the CW series notebooks are the powerful NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM, a well-placed Quick Web Access button and a DISPLAY OFF button to conserve power.
The CW series comes in 5 eye-catching colors of Black, White, Red, Blue and Pink to suit the personality of the user.
The NW series:
Also available in Singapore from November, the NW series is the perfect choice for people who find their desktop to be more bulky than they’d like. It also has a 15.5-inch widescreen with 16:9 aspect ratio, vastly enhancing your viewing pleasure. A reverse hinge design camouflages the point where the display and the back of the keyboard meet, creating an even sleeker image.
With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics card, 320 GB hard disk drive and 2GB of RAM, the NW series is definitely no slouch.
The VAIO NW comes in 3 colours, Brown, White and Black.
The L series:
Know people who have a bad habit of touching their computer screen constantly and who want all-in-one PCs? Now they’ll have every excuse to, with the new VAIO L series. It is the first VAIO series to be equipped with multi-touch optical sensor display and on a gorgeous 24-inch wide display, using your PC is a whole new experience. Flick, flip, zoom and rotate images with a few deft touches. It’s that simple!
With a full HD 1920 x 1080 display (VAIO Display Plus), users can now enjoy the latest Blu-ray Discs on the new VAIO L series with the built-in Blu-ray drive. But what’s the point of having high definition visuals without having the audio to back it up? The VAIO L series has 5.5W + 5.5W speakers and S Master Digital Amplifier technology integrated into the PC itself to allow users to experience a premium audio experience without the unsightly clutter of additional cables.
To keep things simple, the VAIO L series allows users to save more workspace by being able to store its wireless keyboard under the display. With the sleek profile of the L series along with its Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4 GB of memory (upgradeable to 12GB), we might just have found something to keep our itchy hands busy with.
