Sony Vaio TZ Shipping Soon
May 22, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The Sony Vaio TZ is a nice laptop which is light, sleek but still powerful. What you will get is a Sony Vaio TZ90 which comes at a price of $2299 and has a 1.2GHz processor which is an Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 which is an ultralow voltage processor. As well as this you get the option of either a 160GB hard drive or a 32GB solid state drive. In face, you can choose to have both. Choosing the SSD would give you less space, but would increase durability and battery performance due to it being lower voltage with no moving parts inside. Also an integrated DVD burner is included in the tiny package. The screen size is just 11.1 inches which is illuminated with LED backlights. Looking at the size of the screen you can immediately tell that this laptop is very mobile and allows for easy carrying around. It weighs just 2.3 pounds.
Sony VAIO TZ Notebooks – Leaked Photos
May 11, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Sony are launching some new 11.1 inch laptops named the Sony VAIO TZ. Two of these notebooks have been created which are the TZ11MN/N and TZ11XN/B. Both notebooks look great with one boasting a silver lid. Other differences are the amounts of memory, disk and processor. I have to say that both of these notebooks do look rather nice although I can imagine the price tag would be rather nice too 😉
Features
* 2.62lbs of weight
* Integrated optical drive
* Unique rounded hinge design
* LED backlight screen
* 1.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor

Sony Vaio G Laptop – A Winner
April 14, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Sony have been in the laptop market for years producing ultraportable and very slim devices. The VAIO G model is no exception. What stands out first is the weight of the laptop. It is just 1.98 pounds. To get this weight so low it is built out of carbon fibre and has a small form factor, is very sleek and looks the business. The laptop as mentioned above is ultra portable which has a 12.1 inch screen. The small screen does not sacrifice too much resolution though and it can still display an acceptable 1024 x 768 which is still a very popular screen resolution and very common among 15 – 17 inch monitors.
The processor comes in 2 types. First is an Intel Core Solo U1300 running at 1.06GHz and the second option is a U1400 running at 1.2GHz. Memory can be increased up to 1.5GB which is DDR2 type memory. The harddisk can store 80GB of data and there is a built in DVD burner. This size of laptop is aimed at the frequent traveller who wants power, but small size to carry around. The VAIO G does just what it should. Communications comes through 802.11a/b/g wireless and for security there is a built in biometroc fingerprint reader.

Sony VAIO G1
January 26, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Sony have introduced the VAIO G1 in Japan recently. This laptop from the screen shots looks very impressive. It weighs just 2.1 pounds and has a 12.1 inch display. This laptop is truly for those who seek after a real portable solution. Unfortunatly the screen is not an XBRITE display, but putting that asside we still see some very impressive specs. The hard drive can hold 80Gb of data, the small 2.1 lbs VAIO also holds an integrated DVD burner. The processor is a Core Solo which is low powered to help save on battery life. Standard memory in the VAIO is 512 Mb but can be upgraded. For 2.1 lbs of VAIO the price tag is no doubt going to be high… well, it is at $2599.

The new Sony Vaio wireless mouse looks rather odd although it could be a mouse that grows on you as you use it more. The VGP-BMS30 is wireless working with Bluetooth technology.

Sony Vaio G1
November 1, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Sony are great when it comes to style and cramming a lot in to a small space. The G1 is the latest to hit the market and weighs in at less then 2 lbs.. 1.8 lbs to be precise. It has a 12.1 inch display, 1.5Gb RAM and an 80Gb hd. It’s a similar size to previous models but the case it made of carbon and this is what helps it loose it’s weight. The battery has a nice life of 12 hours and thats the on board battery.

Sony Vaio Type U
June 27, 2006 by Leave a Comment
I have had my eye on the the Sony Vaio Type U. According to Sony, is to switch from a 20/30Gb model to use a 16Gb flash memory. This is great news in some ways because it gives the device an increase to 4 hours. Other specs of the device have not changes from the 1.06Ghz/1.2Ghz depending on the model as well as the 1.3 Megapixel motion-eye camera. It goes on sale on the 13th July for $1798.

Sony Blu-Ray VAIO Laptop AR Model
June 17, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Sony have launched a new laptop which includes a Blu-Ray drive. The small Sony monsters screen is 17″ and capable of 1,920 x 1,200 WUXGA+ on an XBrite Display. It includes 200Gb storage space, 2.0Ghz Duo Core processor and weighs just 8.4 pounds. The Blue-Ray drive is writeable at 1x speed which isnt exactly great, but this is the first in it’s class… so you cant really complain at that one! Unfortunatly the battery life is a mere 2 hours which isnt good at all. However, this laptop is a good step forwards and will open doors to others following.
Sony Vaio TX3
June 12, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Sony have released information on their new ultra portable Vaio range of laptops know as the TX3 series.
They will be priced around the $2000 price range, sport many goodies packed in like BlueTooth, Wifi, TV Tuner and more and all that packs in to just a 1 inch think case. Not bad!! Sony have always impressed me with how small they can make things.
The Laptop comes with an 11.1″ wide screen display which I assume will be the nice x-black type.
One other great piece of news is that the battery now lasts around 7.5 hours which in the past has been a downfall of Sony. 10 hours is excellent though and will cover some serious travel between charges.
