15.07.2008Sony Launches 11.1" VAIO TZ Sub-notebook in U.S.
Information on Sony's new
VAIO TZ Series notebook first
leaked out in early May from
Sony's European website. From

winner for mobile
professionals.
Today,
Sony officially announced the
VAIO TZ for the U.S. market
and it doesn't disappoint.
The notebook features an
11.1" LED-backlit display
(1366x768), weighs just 2.65
pounds and is less than an
inch thick. Battery life is
listed at up to 7.5 hours.
"Sony is known for
miniaturization and being an
innovator in design, but this
time we have really out done
ourselves," said Mike Abary,
Sony Electronics senior VP of

new notebook is an engineering
marvel that I believe is one
of the best looking PCs on the

21.02.2007Sony announces the VAIO W series, possibly a netbook
Sony Japan has just put up a product page for the latest entry into the VAIO line-up of computers, the Sony VAIO W series. Though there is no mention
of a netbook in the translated version of the web page, the W series features hardware more commonly found in netbooks, such as the Intel N280 Atom
Processor (1.66 GHz). The computer also runs Windows XP with Service Pack 3. The W series will be available in 3 colours (white, brown and pink)
and features an isolated 'chiclet' style keyboard similar to the one found in the CS series. Judging by the pictures, the touchpad seems
off-centred, with the surface incorporating some interesting art designs.
