It appears that the
Vaio T's return is only the tip of a giant iceberg of refreshes coming out from Sony HQ this month. Greek e-tailer Compuland has a trio of new models listed -- seemingly prematurely -- for sale: the Vaio Y11 (pictured) is a relatively standard 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo SU7300 machine with 4GB of DDR3 memory and 320GB of storage, and its nomenclature seems to fit given that its specs land somewhere between the
underpowered X and
fully-equipped Z series. Speaking of the latter, Sony is adding a
Core i5-520M to its refreshed Z line, as well as to the new 16-inch F11 model which adds a half terabyte storage drive just for kicks. The lesser Core i3-330M Arrandale chip finds a home in the new 13-inch S11 laptop, which may or may not be replacing the
SR series we know and love, as well as a freshened up CW number. Hit the read links for early pricing and more details, and if you hope really hard maybe we'll get proper announcements from the official channels some time soon.

Damn that's sexy. Let me buy you a drink.
vaio y? why, oh whyyyyy????
@(Unverified) that was funny, though it's not quite funny
Dam it... I was really hoping sony would at least come up with a new, ligher/slimmer chassis design for the Vaio Z not just a refresh..
@pachi72 agreed. I think it's a piece of crap.
@pachi72 yeeah, look at the specs of the new z and tell me its crap...morons...man, this thing is 1,4kg 13" and beats the shit out of most desktop replacements...
13.3" 1600x900 resolution ulraportable. Finally! I still wish it was 16:10 but 16:9 is the way things are going...
The new Z will be my next laptop.
@SabinVI Finally? The Z has always been available with that resolution.
Where's a P or W series with a N450 processor?
@babya W hopefully, probably soon. P? Naw... let them stuff in something nicer if they want to keep the price up. Same for X.
