Sony Introduces the Luxurious VAIO | Red Edition
Sony is raising the status of its VAIO Duo, Pro and Fit models by releasing a limited number in a lustrous, rich, glossy red. The VAIO | red edition is distinctly Sony featuring exquisite details, extreme portability and speedy performance. The signature red finish is achieved by a variety of painting techniques on different materials, including carbon fiber and aluminum. Multiple paint layers are individually applied and hand-polished, building layer upon layer of rich, lustrous color. To give it that extra glossy finish, a durable protective UV coating creates an extra vibrant sheen with gorgeous depth and richness.
In addition to premium luxury design, the new VAIO | red edition is fused with the power of Sony's display technologies, exceptional camera quality and audio technology. "Sony has a tradition of designing products built on passion and innovation," said Pedro LaFarga, SVP, Sony VAIO & Networked Products Division. "The new VAIO | red edition is the ultimate in superior PC technology and ensures VAIO users truly experience a level of quality that exceeds expectations. Nothing matches the inspiring look and sheer presence of Sony VAIO Red."Ultimate Performance
With up to Intel Core i7 fourth generation processors, 12GB memory and 512GB storage, the VAIO | red edition delivers super charged performance.
Faster boot-up and data access is achieved with Solid State Drive options. The sophisticated VAIO Pro 13, the world's lightest 13.3" touch Ultrabook, is also the first notebook PC on the market to include a high speed PCIe SSD drive, allowing for faster performance than traditional SSD drives. The VAIO Fit 15 offers a hybrid hard drive and an optical drive that reads and writes Blu-ray Disc media.
The VAIO | red edition also includes standard Sony features such as a full-size backlit and full-pitch keyboard, track pad and instant PC resume technology.
With NFC (Near Field Communication technology) included across the VAIO | red edition, users can quickly exchange website URLs and enable Bluetooth connections by simply tapping a compatible NFC device to the PCs.
In addition, the VAIO | red edition features ArtRage Studio (VAIO Duo includes ArtRage Studio Pro), the premiere digital arts software. And for those that want to try their hand at video creation, all models within the VAIO | red edition include VAIO Movie Creator.
All models are touch-enabled and unlock the full potential of Windows 8.

The only point of interest is the PCIe SSD, which will become the std. for all PCs very soon as they offer even better performance than a SATA based SSD.
But I really would love to have a Desktop one day
Nothing constructive comes from posting them.
Sony, just proved it!
:toast:
Notebook check puts the 4650 in a little better light than cpubenchmark.
The only thing I desire from the 4650? The HD5000, because I was told I could do some folding on it and my 4000 won't cut it.
Aside from that? Nothing but a huge price difference and a garish red case!
