Sony goes Penryn

Sony does not want to be left behind the Penryn bandwagon and has announced that they are preparing to launch Penryn-based notebooks sometime down the road. These new VAIOs are known by their AR7, FZ4, and SZ7 model numbers, boasting Intel’s new Core 2 Duo mobile processor (45nm). Coupled with the Santa Rosa platform, you might get a (theoretically) slightly longer battery life. No word on pricing and availability of these new notebooks.
