Sony Vaio Line Refreshes For Winter Season

The Sony Electronics VAIO® division today released a variety of updated models in preparation for the approaching holiday season. Available today on the Sony Store website, this newest season update reveals not only new CPU options but a few other enhancements.

Sony VAIO S

New Options on the S Series Line

This year, the VAIO® S series made its debut and continues the trend by offering a new screen size option. In addition to the 13.3” screen size of the VAIO SA model, folks can now take advantage of the S series features in a 15.5” model which is referred to as the VAIO® SE model; particularly helpful for those who tend to watch movies on their laptop in full HD. Other than the larger screen and dedicated 10-key, the VAIO SE features are very similar to its smaller sibling with the thin (under one-inch) flat design, AMD Radeon Hybrid Graphics (up to 1GB VRAM) and the optional sheet battery that can double your battery life*. What’s also nice to see is that the pricing of both the 13” SA and the 15” SE start at about $999.

There was also a slight update in the VAIO SB with a new color option of red added to the existing choices of black, white, blue and pink.

In addition, the VAIO® SA, SB, and SE series now feature the latest 2nd generation Intel® processors ranging from Intel® Core™ i3 to Core™ i7 processor options.

New Software Added to VAIO F Laptops and VAIO L Desktops

In this refresh, not only will the VAIO F® and VAIO® L computers now ship with the latest 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors, the team also added some new pre-installed software. The Sony Imagination Studio™ Multimedia Edition is now included in both series which comes with Vegas® Movie Studio HD Platinum, Sound Forge® Audio Studio, and ACID® Music Studio. Helpful for those audio and video projects and over a $200 value.

With the newest generation of Intel® Core™ processors now available, we updated CPUs on the VAIO E and VAIO C series with the VAIO E available with up to a Core™ i5 and VAIO C processor available up to Core™ i7. And just in time for the holiday, the VAIO Y now offers a model in black rounding out the options of silver and pink.
