If you need some cheering up (or if you want to go colorblind), then boy, has Sony got the remedy for you! The new Sony VAIO E-Series seem to be the perfect laptop that’s “fashionable” without breaking the bank. Starting at $800 you get an Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, HDMI out, Bluetooth, 15.5-inch screen, and Windows 7.
This base model starts shipping in March, but future models will have the option for a Core i5 processor, Blu-Ray, and up to 8GB RAM. All models feature a “WEB” button which allows you to open a web browser without booting into Windows itself. As for the color options, you should be satisfied: “five translucent, high-gloss colors— Caribbean Green, Iridescent Blue, Coconut White, Hibiscus Pink and Lava Black— and three matte colors—Maple Brown, Silver White and Gunmetal. Subtle patterns can be found on the lids, of the glossy models, with the palm rest mirroring the color of the PC adding a splash of brightness to the unit.”
So yeah, you can even color the keyboard to your color fantasy liking. The Core i3 models are for pre-order now, and the Core i5 ones will be revealed on February 7th. Battery life should be under 3 hours and weight under six pounds. PR after the break. [Via Electronista]
That’s what Spanish blog MuyComputer is saying right now (in Spanish). According to their editorial director Javier Pérez Cortijo, “the Zune Phone presentation at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress 2010 is 100% confirmed.” Meaning that if this is really true, the Zune Phone would launch at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. Also, Microsoft is said to have partnered with Nvidia, so it can use the Tegra chip to go head on with the iPhone. Other specs include a 480 x 272 screen, HDMI video out, and a weight of around 2.45 ounces (70 grams). One note that that I’d like to make clear to you guys is that the Zue Phone isn’t going to be a Zune HD with a phone connected to it — no — it’s going to be like the iPhone — Zune software running on Windows Mobile 7.
