Sony intros Blu-ray burning AR50, FZ20, L Series VAIOs


Sony recently took the wraps off a new range of Blu-ray burning VAIOS in Europe, including two laptops and an all-in-one desktop. On the top end of the laptop side of things, the VAIO AR50 series boasts a 17-inch WUXGA LCD, along with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo T7700 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics, with that aforementioned Blu-ray burner conveniently tucked inside. The FZ20, on the other hand, packs a 15.4-inch display with a mere 1280 x 800 resolution, along with a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 300GB hard drive, and GeForce 8600M GS graphics. Rounding things out, the VAIO L Series all-in-one desktop remains much the same as we've seen before, with it boasting a 22-inch 1680 x 1050 display, an unspecified Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, twin analog/DVB-T TV tuners, and GeForce 8400M GT graphics. From the looks of it, the whole lot is available in Europe now, with the Blu-ray add-ons demanding a none-too-surprising premium over less-equpped models.

Sony's VAIO F, N, and L updated for spring


Nothing signals the onset of spring quite like a VAIO in bloom. So take a whiff of these seasonal updates from Sony. The all-in-one, media savy Vaio L (pictured) kicks things off. The 15.4-inch L-series receives a new aqua coat of paint and meager Celeron M processor jump from 1.73GHz to 1.86GHz. The 19-inch variety also received an update bonus with AVCHD recording off its internal Blu-ray Disc drive direct to a slightly hunkier 320GB disk. The updated 15.4-inch Vaio F series meanwhile, features a faster 1.66Gz T5500 Core 2 Duo processor and bigger 100GB disk. Last and most certainly, least comes the Vaio N fashion laptop which takes a 20GB bump in disk size (now 100GB) while remaining true to its Celeron M 430 and Intel 943GML Express graphics underpinnings. All hit Japan starting April 21st.

Sony VAIO L gets Core 2 Duo and Blu-ray burner

The CEATEC show generated some more Sony next-gen optical news this AM with the announcement of the VAIO L, now with Blu-ray player and burner. While they were tinkering, Sony went ahead and slapped in a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo T7400 processor and gave the graphics a needed bump with an nVidia GeForce Go 7600. These additions to Sony's all-in-one PC with integrated TV-tuner will drive the cost up to ¥359,800 or about $3,058 when it hits the shelves in Japan starting November 6th. What, you do want Blu-ray don't you?
