You've really got a thing for florescent these days, don't ya Sony? Just like its
colorful 15.5-inch EB series, Sony's new 14-inch VAIO EA and 17.3-inch EC Series are available in colors that can only remind us of 80's workout attire, including bright green, blue, and pink. Though (thankfully!) for us more conservative types, the two new lines are also available in a matte white, brown and black. The budget systems ring up at around $700, and both feature a Core i3 350M CPU, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium. There is a Blu-ray option and an onboard HDMI port. Sony's also gone and added its own instant-on OS, which is launched by hitting the WEB button above the keyboard. Our favorite part about the two machines? Funny enough it has nothing to do with the laptops themselves -- it happens to be the rubber keyboard skins that Sony will sell for $25 along side these lappies for keeping the chiclet keyboards safe from crumbs and everyday ware. Both models will be up for pre-order today, though will ship in July.

I dig that green with a passion. I'd spray paint the keyboard too.
@Wheee
They have green silicone keyboard covers that you can order with the laptop. You can also mix and match!
The black one's for me. Very professional.
Orange gets no love? :(
Old, i saw that green laptop on Saturday.
Nice to have some cheaper alternatives, but these are already in the SonyStyle shop with core i5's right? (at least in the european shop they are)

ACID ATTACK ON THE RETINA!!
Boo, no Bluray.
@Zach S What do you expect? If you want Blu-ray you'll have to buy one of their premium laptops. This E-series laptop line is the replacement for the vaio NW. Sony's low-end laptopline for the average consumer.
I see Sony took the color scheme of the original iBook and went nuts with it.
@moldymac Only Apple is allowed to color more than the lid.
Any word on the GPU?
Old, don't you mean ancient...I Saw this a month or so ago, was a contender for the Macbook Pro 13 I finally settled with; very close contender looks v nice!
Yum.. Shrek flavoured laptops..
This is one thing I wish Apple would push onto more of their products instead of the whole cold and sterile look. It's why I liked the iPod Nano when they came out with colors. This laptop rocks. It's so colorful. I can't stop staring.
Now *that* is eye-catching, even when your eyes are closed. Sexy beast with some good innards, mmmm...
SONY - COLOUR YOUR LIFE AD CAMPAIGN!
Is that a BP tribute PC?
The Vaio line now has lots of models and it can be confusing. If you're looking for pink vaio laptops, try this resource site http://sonyvaiopink.com
