The VAIO Z and Y Series PCs are the world’s first out-of-the box laptops that act as a personal hotspot. Select models of these series feature the exclusive new Sony embedded wireless technology called Share My Connection (SMC). With SMC you can turn your laptop into a mobile wireless access point that can connect up to five other PCs or networked devices, such as smartphones, mp3 players, and cameras. Of course a subscription is required. The Z model offers premium portability and serious power as it weighs in at just 3.0 lbs. It features a durable carbon fiber and aluminum casing and is supposed to deliver up to seven hours of battery life for true mobile freedom. It incorporates a 13.1-inch high-resolution LED backlit widescreen display, that should deliver a bright picture with 100 percent color saturation. The extremely thin unit also comes with an optical drive (Blu-ray optical drive optional). The Y Series laptops comes in five colors including purple violet, fuchsia pink, pear green, teal blue and black. With a thin 1.2-inch profile and 13.3-inch LED backlit widescreen display, the sleek Y model offers lower power consumption for improved battery life for that active student lifestyle. The new devices are available for pre-sale at www.sony.com/SMC but only in the US for now. They’re priced at about Rs. 35,450 ($770) for the VAIO Y Series and Rs. 89. 700 ($1,950) for the VAIO Z Series. |
