Sony is all set to capture the notebook market by releasing its state of the art new VAIO notebook which would also be the first notebook to sport the cool Blu-Ray Drive. The Sony VGN-AR70B notebook PC also incorporates a wide 17" WUXGA resolution monitor and a Core Duo T2500 (2GHz) processor. Thus expect the new notebook to pack a punch and for further cutting edge functionalitySony has also thrown in a 200 GB hard drive (available in RAID 0 configuration) and an Nvidia GeForce Go 7600GT with 256MB graphics memory. Connectivity options also include Bluetooth, WLAN (a/b/g), HDMI input and did we mention the Blu-Ray Drive?
“The VAIO AR has the ability to capture, edit and record in HD on a notebook PC right out of the gate,” said Mike Abary, vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics in the U.S. “Combined with unsurpassed storage capability our new Blu-ray Disc enabled notebook computer offers users with limitless creative possibilities.”
Some other features found on the notebook include integrated Sony MOTION EYE videocam and microphone, Microsoft® Windows® Media Center Edition, hybrid TV tuner,a built-in standard-definition NTSCTV tuner (select models) and onboard TV controls, and NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7600 graphics card featuring 256MB dedicated video memory. The AR Premium Blu-ray Disc enabled model will go for about $3,500 and as always, I think thats a premium for notebooks.
