So will Sony's new Vaio E series of laptops take the market by storm?
|
Sony recently launched their new Sony Vaio E-series of laptops which not only look stunning but offer powerful hardware at competitive prices. Infact, During a Q and A session at the launch in Mumbai, Mr Masaru Tamagawa—Managing Director, Sony India, implied that their E-series of laptops are targeted towards the masses, because they are quite affordable.
There are three variants in the Sony’s E-series of laptops, with specific screen sizes of 14-inch, 15.5-inch and 17.3-inch. Let us see the hardware they offer.
There are three variants in the Sony’s E-series of laptops, with specific screen sizes of 14-inch, 15.5-inch and 17.3-inch. Let us see the hardware they offer. 14-inch There are five in this segment, from which two feature Intel’s mainstream Core i5-520M processors and the other three have the entry-level Core i3 variants. The mainstream laptops are priced between Rs 50,000 to around Rs 60,000, which we think is a good price point, considering the style of the Vaio and the powerful hardware. And, the entry-level models are priced between Rs 39,000 and Rs 48,000. We think that the entry-level models especially, will really give other laptop manufactures, which offer similar hardware and price points, something to be concerned about, mainly because Sony Vaio laptops do have a fan-following for their aesthetics. Speaking of which, all laptops belonging to the new Vaio E series have a very different look and are available in a number of vibrant colors, which make the machines look truly stunning. The native screen resolution of all 14-inch models is 1366 x 768, which has been common to most standard laptops, and should be fine on a 14 incher.
15-inch 17-inch There is only one 17-inch model which costs about Rs 58,000 and has entry-level hardware. Powered by an Intel Core i3-330M CPU, it features 4 GB RAM, a 500 GB hard drive and it weighs about 3.3 Kg. With decent discrete graphics, ATI Radeon HD 5650, and thankfully a 1600 x 900 screen, we think Sony Vaio is now going to make some new fans, and quite a few of them. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, and wait till we test these machines. Considering the hardware, and Vaio’s popularity for design and aesthetics, we’re anticipating some very powerful competitors in the entry-level and mainstream laptop segments. But again, that’s something that time will tell. Update: Here's the YouTube link to the new Sony Vaio ad. |
