It will honestly be easier for us here at Sony Insider to just give the details on these new Vaio devices as they are and use future news posts for reviews and commentary. So, hang on tight and get ready to see some details on quite a few new Vaio laptops and all-in-one desktops that Sony Japan is introducing for the holiday season. Huge updates to the R-Series, L-Series, C-Series, and J-Series. This is a really cool assortment of laptops and desktops for home use, and hopefully they will see release elsewhere around the world. Sony Insider has seen some reports of a new U series in the US FCC site, which has similiar specifics to laptops found here. Several new features are found in this round-up, such as improved RGB across most models, 802.11n wireless, awesome colors for the C-Series and huge RAM/huge HDD space for most. You can see from the pricing and availability listing below that some of the A and R series are being labeled photo and video edition, as such models include software and functionality which caters to that.
