VAIO updates for Spring 2007

Sony announces it is making a number of improvements to the iconic VAIO product range. 

In addition to new features, all VAIO systems will now be supplied with Windows Vista Home Premium (or Windows Vista Business in the case of the SZ4 and TX3-Series).  With such a wide a selection of updated VAIO products on offer, theres something for everyone, whether for work or play.

The Young and Stylish

Developed in collaboration with the Design Centre Europe, the VAIO C2-Series allows you to truly express yourself with a strong, youthful and diverse feel to the range. The laptop colours have been developed to give each model a special appeal to certain personality types. The original five timeless black, nomad grey, karma white, free spirit pink and natura green - have been joined by a sixth, rediscovery blue. A mix of soft blue tones with storm greys, the new colour evokes skies and seas and feelings of self-awareness and stimulation. To ensure the look is smooth the range is complemented with colour-matched desktop mice and a specially created collection of stylish carry bags from leading designer Mandarina Duck.

The Business Traveller

Designed to push performance beyond the normal boundaries imposed by portability, the VAIO SZ4-Series is the ultra-portable model for professionals. Combining visually beguiling carbon fibre construction with one of the slimmest screens ever produced, the SZ4-Series is effortlessly stylish and effortlessly portable at just 1.69kg. Its also the only notebook in the world with two graphics chipsets, enabling users to opt for extended battery life or huge graphics power depending on what they need.

The Entertainment Lover

For those wanting a portable that has the power for serious fun, theres the VAIO FE40-Series. Behind the scenes, theres hard-hitting processing and graphics power from a potent combination of Intel Core 2 Duo processors and NVIDIA GeForce Go graphics. The large, dual lamp widescreen X-black LCD enhanced display is perfect for movies and games, and the rest of the time its a comfortably roomy Windows workspace.

The Family Choice

When value and versatility are the key considerations, the distinctive, white VAIO N20-Series is the ideal choice. Sporting a highly readable, X-black LCD 15.4-inch widescreen display and powered by a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo and Core Duo processors, the N20-Series combines ergonomic design with plenty of real-world performance. This mix of practicality and ease of use makes the N20-Series an obvious choice for a general purpose home notebook or for students needing their own portables.

The Complete Digital Media Centre

Sonys unique all-in-one PC-TV fusion, the VAIO LA2-Series, now comes with a full 2GB of memory as standard to ensure super-smooth multimedia performance. The ultra-slim system unit is immensely stylish and will look good in any room in the house, where it will act as the complete digital media centre. Its huge 19-inch super-high resolution widescreen display features X-black LCD enhancement for improved contrast, true blacks and vivid colour, while dual lamp illumination ensures a brilliant, lifelike image. All this makes it the perfect way to view digital photos, personal video clips, movies and TV. A hybrid digital (DVB-T)/analogue TV tuner delivers the best of both worlds, and a large 300GB hard disk provides massive storage for recording your favourite programmes. Supremely easy to use yet incredibly powerful and versatile, the LA2-Series is perfect for the digital lifestyle at home.
