Sony unveils its new VAIO lineup - VAIO X, VAIO L, VAIO CW, VAIO NW

Sony Singapore unveiled its new VAIO lineup earlier today. There are four models, namely the VAIO X series, VAIO L series, VAIO CW and VAIO NW.

In short, the VAIO X is Sony's thinnest and lightest VAIO. Targeted at mobile professionals, it weighs just 655g and has a 13.9mm thin, yet rigid chassis.

The VAIO L is Sony's first touch-screen All-in-one VAIO PC. Sporting a full HD 24-inch screen and a Blu-Ray drive, it's tempting to get one for your living room.

Son'ys VAIO CW and VAIO NW are their design-oriented notebooks. Equipped with the latest Intel Centrino 2 technology (Intel Core 2 Duo, PM45 Express chipset, WiFi 5100 wireless-N), fast DDR3 memory and a pretty juicy NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M GPU with 512MB video memory, the CW packs some muscle for gaming. While the NW is positioned as a desktop-replacement with its configuration of Intel's Core 2 Duo processors and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 GPU.

And yes, all these models will come with Microsoft Windows 7 pre-installed.

Read on for more information on each of the above-mentioned VAIO machines' (from trimmed down press releases).
