Sony announces VAIO S Series laptop for performance oriented folks

Sony is back at the forefront of laptop releases, what with the VAIO S Series this time around sporting a 13.3-inch screen form factor. It doesn’t sacrifice the mobility of VAIO laptops, where it will offer both Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors (depending on your needs, of course) alongside Hybrid Graphics – not to mention its dual channel solid state drive options (on select models, of course). On the outside, your eyes will be treated to a premium and elegant design in either black or white colors with magnesium and aluminum materials, where all of them will run on a built-in lithium polymer battery.

With an AMD Radeon HD 6630 1GB Hybrid Graphics card inside (on select models, again), it delivers a performance boost for your day-to-day processor functions that delivers superior as well as a more optimized overall computing experience. Other features include one-touch VAIO, ASSIST and WEB buttons, VAIO Care software and access to the web without having to boot up into Windows. The VAIO S Series laptops are up for pre-sale today with prices starting from $970 thereabouts – any takers?
