Sony's New VAIO CB And CA Laptops pack the latest.We're aware, the "exclusive" green and orange neon color of Sony's VAIO CB and CA laptops can make your eyes bleed, but Sony's pretty excited about the aesthetic and the way it radiates light around the edges of the laptop. Oh, and don't forget how the touchpad "emits a beautiful glow." It's true, the rigs do have an interesting glow stick-like look to them -- at least, we thought so when we saw them last month however, we found their innards and features to be more enlightening.
"The new VAIO C Series delivers an extraordinary design with new, vivid materials," said Mike Lucas, senior vice president of the Networked Technologies and Services Division at Sony Electronics. "Combined with premium performance and features, as well as enhanced with Sony Imagination Studio, C Series users can be entertained and show off their creative side."
The VAIO CB notebooks aren’t just flash on the outside, underneath these bright colors resides a Second Generation Intel Core i5 processor complete with TurbOBoost 2.0 which can ramp up the power when you need an extra boost. The VAIO C notebooks can also be configured with an AMD Radeon HD 6630 graphics processor with 1GB RAM for users that need more graphics power for multimedia creation or gaming. Additionally, the VAIO CB notebooks can be configured with a Blu-Ray Drive which would be a nice addition for notebooks that are upgraded to the full HD 1080p display.
The systems are all driven by Core i5 processors and have the option of a Radeon HD 6630M that can provide fast mid-range graphics with live switching to Intel video to save power. Blu-ray is also an option on the systems, whose primary split gives a 14-inch screen to the CA and a 15.5-inch display to the CB.
Pre-orders start for the new notebooks on March 13, when the entry level will cost $880.
