    Sony has added two new notebooks to its rambunctious VAIO E line, which come in cheery, seizure-inducing colors. Both new offerings -- the 14-inch VPCEA1Z1E and 17.3-inch VPCEC1S1E -- are equipped with discrete graphics and Blu-ray players for high-def entertainment on the run.

    Pretty :) I am definitely a fan of blu-ray so glad to see them continuing to be put standard in more PCs

    Any word on prices Matthew? I know Sony products can seize the kings ransom, so I was wondering if they're going to play nice with the consumer's wallets or if these will follow the typical path.

    I think you're confusing Sony with Apple ;) Some of Sony's lower end laptops are actually reasonably priced, as long as you don't go for the £200 upgrade for an extra 2GB RAM or whatever.

    On another note, surely Sony have exhausted the alphabet by now for their computer line up?

    9Nails, I didn't see official pricing in the press release, but you can specify your location and get an idea on the prices here. It seems the systems are £700 and up. Note that initial availability seems limited to Europe.

  8. Does this new sizes mean that 15.5 inch ones will be discontinued?

    Fashion accessories on second floor. I was expecting racing stripes, flames and other patterns. Not so news worthy from my perspective. Buut..Ya gotta have a press release...daily.
