Sony unveils its new VAIO lineup - VAIO X, VAIO L, VAIO CW, VAIO NW
Sony Singapore unveiled its new VAIO lineup earlier today. There are four models, namely the VAIO X series, VAIO L series, VAIO CW and VAIO NW. In short, the VAIO X is Sony's thinnest and lightest VAIO. Targeted at mobile professionals, it weighs just 655g and has a 13.9mm thin, yet rigid chassis. The VAIO L is Sony's first touch-screen All-in-one VAIO PC. Sporting a full HD 24-inch screen and a Blu-Ray drive, it's tempting to get one for your living room.
Son'ys VAIO CW and VAIO NW are their design-oriented notebooks. Equipped with the latest Intel Centrino 2 technology (Intel Core 2 Duo, PM45 Express chipset, WiFi 5100 wireless-N), fast DDR3 memory and a pretty juicy NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M GPU with 512MB video memory, the CW packs some muscle for gaming. While the NW is positioned as a desktop-replacement with its configuration of Intel's Core 2 Duo processors and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 GPU.
And yes, all these models will come with Microsoft Windows 7 pre-installed.
Read on for more information on each of the above-mentioned VAIO machines' (from trimmed down press releases).
(Singapore, 8 October 2009) – The VAIO L is a 24-inch all-in-one PC, bringing together intuitive touch panel operation and broad access to Full HD entertainment. With its high performance features such as Full HD 1920 x 1080 display, Blu-ray Drive, and exclusive VAIO Media Gallery software, the VAIO is capable of satisfying individual needs and becoming the centerpiece of every family.
To match its high definition visuals, the VAIO L Series delivers a premium audio experience to maximise enjoyment of movies, videos, games and music. Integrated with 5.5W + 5.5W speakers and S Master Digital Amplifier technology, the VAIO offers a rich and detailed soundstage without the unsightly clutter of additional cables.
The VAIO L Series is the first VAIO to be equipped with a multi-touch optical sensor display, making common computing tasks more fun and intuitive. One push of the VAIO button on the wireless keyboard activates VAIO’s original Media Gallery software, which provides easy access to music, photo, and video libraries.
Providing more opportunities for families to share special moments, the Media Gallery allows users to easily create movies and enjoy photos, videos, and music by flipping through, zooming in and rotating images, all with a few simple touches.
Keeping in touch with family and friends is also made easier with the WebCam Message Board. Providing a simple and fun way of communicating, this feature allows users to take photos with the built-in camera, and customise them with personalised hand-written messages that can be posted onto the screen or sent off as email. Best of all, these unique VAIO features work seamlessly with the new Windows® 7 OS which also supports touch panel operation for drag-and-drop transfers as well as special touch-compatible Windows® 7 software.
Requiring only 19 cm of depth on a regular desk, the VAIO saves users more workspace as its wireless keyboard can be stored neatly under the display when not in use. With its Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E7500 and 4 GB pre-installed memory (upgradeable to 12 GB), the VAIO L Series is built to perform. Featuring the new Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS and the latest NVIDIA GeForce G210M graphics accelerator, the VAIO enhances picture performance for games and videos.
The new touch screen all-in-one VAIO L will be available in Singapore from end October 2009.
