Sony has just come forth to announce their brand new limited edition VAIO Nebula FW notebook, pictured above.

Other than the snazzy cover, this notebook features a 16.4-inch display, various Intel Core 2 Duo processors, up to 8GB of RAM, hard drive space of up to 500GB or the choice of SSDs and a Blu-ray drive which is included in the price.

And that price starts at just $809.99. Not bad, huh?

Verizon has plans to itntroduce a new line of Vaio PCs on the market in the real near future, which will be named “P Series LifeStyle PC”.

The Sony Vaio P Series can also be considered a netbook, and it includes a 8-inch UWXGA screen that provides a resolution of 1600×768, more 2GB of memory RAM, and Windows 7 Home Premium Edition as the operative system. The hard-drive can either be HDD or SSD, and the sizes vary from 60GB, 80GB, 128GB (SSD), and 160GB.

At the moment there isn’t an exact release date for the Sony Vaio P Series, but rumours have mentioned the date of November 5th.

I bet nobody in Redmond expected this but Sony has decided to adopt Google’s Chrome as the default browser for its future Vaio line. Google and Sony have reached an agreement according to which future desktops and laptops will come with Google Chrome on board. The browser will point to Google for homepage and search queries but I guess that was more than logical wasn’t it? Google will probably approach other manufacturers soon which isn’t such a bad thing after all. This move will surely annoy Microsoft on one hand and all the other developers in the Internet browsing business which will only lead to improved browsing solutions in the near future. What browser do you currently use?

We’ve seen several touchscreen offerings from PC-makers far-and-wide who utilize the updated capabilities of Windows 7, but never from Sony.

That’s soon to chance as a Sony exec was recently quoted to say that there would be touchscreen Vaio laptops close to or on Windows 7’s release date (October 22nd). To avoid confusion, what is pictured above is not one of the touch-screen laptops but one of Sony’s other offerings.

That’s not all though as Sony reportedly hopes to allow their Vaios to download content from the PS3’s Playstation Network. If this is true it would include movies, TV shows and potentially even games.

In case you are waiting for possibly one of the most expensive netbooks to date, the Sony Vaio P, then we have some more details and pictures ready for you.

The Vaio P is the first netbook from Sony which will feature an Atom Z250 processor running at 1.33GHz, 2GB of RAM, an HDD with SSD upgrade availability, UMTS connectivity and GPS. We’re probably going to have even more specs to analyze when they become officially public. The price is of course as high as you would expect it to be. The Vaio P will be available for about $970 so I advise you to think twice before actually purchasing it.

From the first time I’ve seen that Sony New Zealand teaser shot I said the netbook will surely be leaked ahead of time. Soon after Sony Japan has started its own teaser page but it was Sony Style that managed to leak out some of that specs of the new netbook. And we have some images of it too.

The Vaio netbook will have a 1.33GHz processor, an 1600×768 pixel screen and an 8-inch LED backlit screen. It will come with a 60GB HDD but if you want a SSD a huge 128GB SSD is available. It will come in red, silver or black. We only need the price now!

January 9th is still the date Sony has marked in it’s calendar for revealing the new Vaio.

The Vaio JS has a 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, 4GB of RAM, an integrated Intel GMA 4500HD graphics card, a 500GB and a standard DVD burner. The PC will cost around $1,000 if you’re interested.

Sony went ahead and launched their new Vaio laptops on Monday evening as we’ve told you before. And they are all special notebooks. The four new Vaio notebooks are the 16.4 inch Vaio FW, the 15.4-inch Vaio BZ the 13.3 inch Vaio SR, and the 13.1 inch Vaio Z. Let’s take a brief look at these Centrino 2 powered new Vaio lines.

The Vaio FW is a 16.4 inch laptop. Weird size you say? We might see it more often. This screen size will get you that 16:9 aspect ratio for HD Blu-ray content. This laptop weighs a little over 6 pounds which is quite remarkable given the bigger screen. The FW will be available later in July with prices starting from $1,000.

The Vaio BZ is a 15.4 laptop designed for business. It weighs a little under 6 pounds but it offers some smart business solutions. You get a hard drive shock protection system, a spill resistant keyboard and a magnesium-alloy case. The BZ will be the only Vaio to include Intel’s vPro management software and the Vaio Care support package. The pricing will start at $1,000 and you will get one by the end of July

The Vaio SR is a 13.3 highly portable laptop. It comes in five colors and weighs about 4 pounds. There’s a backlit-LED display, a webcam and microphone and a hard drive shock protection system. You will get one starting from $1,400 by the end of July.

The Vaio Z is a 13.3 laptop. It must be even more portable than the 13.3 inch SR model. It weighs a little over 3 pounds and features hard drive shock protection system, a fingerprint reader, the Trusted Platform Module and a password protected hard drive. All you need is a password protected sleeve that might perfectly fit into the password protected bag of your choice. Optionally you get an 128 SSD, WWAN, Blu-ray drive and HDMI-out port. The prices start at $1,800 or $2,300 depending on whether you chose the SSD or not. The Vaio Z is going to be customizable from August, if that’s what you want.

Which model do you like best?

Sure we want to check out any new Vaio from Sony. Sure they are way to expensive than their direct competitors but they can turn heads. What do we have here today? We have the new Vaio laptops for Sony with leaked details on display.

And we have two 13.3 inch Vaio SR models to check out: the VGN-SR19XN and the VGN-SR19VN. These two babies pack a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 processor. The first one has the regular integrated graphic card while the second version has the Radeon HD3470. You’ll have more hardware inside: 4GB of RAM and a 200GB. How about that?

Feel like you need more? How about the 16.4 inch Vaio FW. This baby appears to be available in lots of configuration. You can choose between the ATI 3650 or 3470 graphics card, you can opt in for a Blu-ray drive, while the processor is the same processor used in the SR models.

We’re waiting for the actual Sony release to get official prices but we should expect more expensive than the usual.

Creativity Explored enthusiast and well-known artist Maya Hayuk recently created two new graphic designs for Sony’s VAIO Notebook computers. Using an advanced industrial design technique, Maya’s cutting edge graphic designs “Grow” and “Never Stop” have been placed on a limited edition of Sony VAIO Notebook computers.

Hayuk conceptualized and painted these designs for Sony concentrating on the colorful and symmetrical imagery that she is known for. These new styles transform what was already a stunning PC into a functioning work of art, beautifully blending cutting-edge images with a sleek design.

The “Grow” edition captures the feel of an organic forest with deep green, blue and purple flower-growing wildly across the top of the notebook while “Never Stop” is a colorful, kaleidoscopic design that is decked in interlacing lines and spherical shapes.

The VAIO Graphic Splash Maya Hayuk Edition notebooks go for about $2,500 and will be available at www.sonystyle.com this month.
