Sony Vaio Laptop Reviews & News
Vaios combine high-end audio/video tech with exclusive software, making them ideal for recording music, photo editing, and all round multimedia use. They are invariably fast machines boasting cutting edge performance and stylish build quality. Sony are not renowned for releasing cheap laptops, but rather for pushing the boundaries of multimedia technology. Many of their new offerings boast fingerprint sensors and core duo processors, and all share the inimitable Vaio logo.

Your average Joe Soap couldn't give a monkey's uncle whether his laptop is black, white or gray. However, some fashion conscious buyers would prefer their PC to match the color of their Dukewood writing desk. If you're one of these, make a note in your diary for the new VGN-N130G Sony Vaio hitting stores in october. Read More

The VAIO AR190G is the first multimedia laptop to boast Blu-Ray, a technology able to store 5 times more data than the humble DVD. Read More

The Vaio VGN-A690 Vaio is a desktop replacement that John Wayne would have loved. Tipping the scales at a hunky 8 and a half pounds, it isn't built for cutting edge mobility. However if the Duke was still alive, he'd probably be too busy backing up his VHS movie collection to DVD, to ever consider leaving the ranch. Read More

After watching the recent Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith, I was left wondering what did Ben Kenobi do on Tatooine for 20 odd years while Luke was growing up? I guess the odd game of poker with the sand people was out of the question? A shame Sony T Series WWAN enabled Vaios weren't available then. Lonely Ben could have kept up to date with Yoda and life on Dagobah via instant messenger or email. Just like Obi-Wan's Jedi chum, the wireless Vaio is small, ultralight, yet deceptively powerful.

Well here is a new Sony clearly aimed at the Louis Vuitton crowd, as well as the busy executive who needs to look stylish and busy. The successor to Sony's Vaio 505 is the X505, the X is for extreme, you know, like snow boarding, although the jury is still out on how many top executives try to catch some "Sweet Air" at the moments. I'm sure they don't have this razor thin, uber-cool notebook with them when they do. Read More

Ah life on the ocean waves, once all you needed was a tall ship and a star to steer her by, now it seems as if you also need an Intel-powered Sony Vaio as well. The brave crews aboard the mighty yachts that are competing in the global challenge 2004 are using the notebooks to organise their journey and keep in touch with the "landlubbers" back home. Good luck to all and make sure those precious Vaios are in some sort of waterproof wrapping! Read More
