Full FeedSony announces budget Blu-ray notebook line
Sony has announced the new NW line of VAIO notebooks, which will now be its entry-level Blu-ray notebook. Starting at $880 for the Blu-ray models , the notebooks sport a 15.5” 1366 x 768 widescreen display for watching your Blu-ray content on the go and an HDMI out so you can use the notebook as your home Blu-ray player. They also pack a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 400 GB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM, and 512 MB of dedicated video RAM.
Other interesting hardware goodies include a display off button that lets you conserve battery life and an instant internet button that bypasses the wait for Windows to load and takes you straight to your web browser. Other than that the hardware is pretty standard for a 15” notebook - built-in webcam, mic, 3 USB ports, ExpressCard slot, SD card slot, Memory Stick slot, and chiclet-style keyboard.
As for software, the notebooks are loaded with Vista, as well as a a suite of Sony software: VAIO Movie Story (home movie maker); VAIO MusicBox software (hear your music library based on mood); and Click to Disc/Editor software (video editing).
Though Sony is claiming this line of Blu-ray notebooks is entry level as far as price, a quick pricing of a Dell or HP notebook with a Blu-ray drive shows that there are cheaper alternatives for portable Blu-ray. Also, the notebook’s native display is only 720p, which is not the full resolution for Blu-ray, so you’re not even getting a true Blu-ray experience on the go.
Only with the notebook’s HDMI output can you get the full Blu-ray resolution. Whether you decide to spend your money for this Sony Blu-ray notebook versus options available from Dell, HP, or another company, may come down to brand name loyalty, your acceptance of native 720p versus 1080p, and overall style, which this notebook line has in spades.
