Sony on Tuesday took the second of its notebook concepts into reality by launching the VAIO CA and CB.
The line comes in a wrap-around translucent plastic and has the option of rare neon orange and green hues that create a “glow” around the edges and the trackpad; black, white and (in Europe) pink are also available. TV integration is a cornerstone as they both have the option of WiDi 2.0 wireless video streaming to an adapter as well as Remote Keyboard to steer menus and the keyboard on a Bravia TV, Blu-ray player or PS3.
The systems are powered by Core i5 processors and have the option of a Radeon HD 6630M that can provide fast mid-range graphics with live switching to Intel video to save power. Blu-ray is also an option on the systems, whose primary split gives a 14-inch screen to the CA and a 15.5-inch display to the CB.
Pre-orders start for the new notebooks on March 13, prices start at $880.
