Sony finally bumps Vaio S to Centrino with VGN-S380?
We've just caught wind of Sony's plans to finally update their
Vaio S series of laptops to match the specs on their Japanese
HighSpec S92, and bring it up to date with
Sonoma. It's going by the name of VGN-S380 (which we find odd, since on a big update like this they'd normally rename it by a hundred, i.e. VGN-S460, in this case), it's got all the biz you're accustomed to with a Sony machine, and is avaiable only by custom configuration right now. You can build it with up to a 2.13GHz Pentium M 770, Bluetooth, 802.11a/b/g, nVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 graphics, DVD burner,
and now up to 2GB RAM. Now let's get them to bump the specs on the
FS550 and make it as good as the version their selling in Japan, and we'll be satisfied.
P.S. No word yet on whether it uses the same inverted color scheme on the lid as the Japanese edition pictured, or whether it's still stuck on those crappy micro-DIMMs.
