Sony busts out colorful VAIO E Series laptops

Hey there, what's this little surprise? Sony's colorful VAIO E Series laptops have arrived to cheer us up -- and it looks like they're going to do the trick, we have to tell you. These 15.5-inchers come in a wide range of colors, and you can mix and match lid and keyboard shades, if you dare. Inside, you get a 2.13GHz Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, a DVD burner and a 500GB hard drive. A Core i5 version is also right around the corner. You can pre-order one of these bad boys now for shipping in March -- but it'll cost you about $800. Hit the read link to check them out. There's one more shot after the break.

[Thanks, Paul]

put a hard case on your laptop if you want color...don't pay excess money for it..

[YpoCaramel Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:30AM]

@andrewasmith That will never work with the parents who take their daughter to Best Buy and she points to "the pink Sony one!"

But what if we don't own a bloody macbook, and there isn't enough demand to keep our laptops nice and shiny, and therfore no cases being made?

[trainwrecka Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:23AM]

I like the duotone. Very cool.

[Argot Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:24AM]

@trainwrecka : I like it too. Very cool. But I wonder if it feels that way after staring at it for 10 hous or so?

[roxics Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:24AM]

That first picture would go great for these teenagers with their 80's retro multicolored high tops.

[jjasper123 Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:27AM]

@roxics

or for me.

[allivant Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:25AM]

is the first one the Avatar Edition?

They are lucky, there are no gadgets in Pandora.

[Dale P Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:30AM]

I'm glad the coloured keyboards are optional... that blue and pink combo is gross. Love the blue with black though.

[Plazmic Flame Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:41AM]

@Dale P

Agreed, I clicked on "read more" just to see if this was how the laptops would be sold.

[snowycoke Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:55AM]

@Dale P yeah, the blue with the black keyboard is nice. Open up the link, the blue pattern is stunning.

[Jehryan Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:32AM]

I WANT THAT RIGHT MEOW.

[JohnnyK Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:32AM]

I like them with the black keyboard and gradient finish, but that first picture with the pink keyboard makes my eyes bleed.

[skyblaze Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:41AM]

you couldve sworn colorware was up to their old tricks again looking at that pic.

[pekosROB Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:44AM]

That. Is. Hideous.

[Leindurstit Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:51AM]

The "E" stand for Ewwww.

[celiabiggs Posted Feb 2nd 2010 10:52AM]

Okay, so last time, Sony unveiled their pricey and 'serious' looking sony vaio Z series topping at 2-2.5K USD grand a piece. I guess the welcome was opposite to cold, So sony decides to pacify the situation, and they now release a power-ranger colored series of laptops. The problem is, I think even teenies will find this laptop highly-unappealing.

[slimjim316 Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:06AM]

@celiabiggs Put the new Z in those colours (and give me a couple of grand) then I'm on it.

[snowycoke Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:01AM]

RAH RAH AH AH AH want your bad romance. Who said this was for the minimalist? Want the blue one so bad, sans the pink keyboard.

[Dale P Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:07AM]

@Frankenstein Black Own it on specs, but not on battery life... 3.5 hours seems to be the max. Yikes!

[Radukk Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:13AM]

Available Intel® Core™ i5-520M Processor (2.40GHz) (available Feb. 7), Intel® Core™ i3 processors also available

[DeAthWaGer Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:23AM]

I literally threw up seconds after seeing the pink keyboard. Then again, I am hung over...

[Djade Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:26AM]

[Rosco911 Posted Feb 2nd 2010 11:26AM]
