Sony introduces a new special edition of Vaio FZ notebooks sporting four new Eco-Cool designs.

The Graphic Splash Eco Edition VAIO FZ notebooks are available as Caribbean Water, Clay Earth, Spotted Life, and Bloom designs to make you stand out.

To celebrate, Sony will donate one percent of the price of each Graphic Splash Eco Edition notebook purchased to non-profit organizations working to preserve the environment via 1% For the Planet (site) — an alliance of businesses committed to creating a healthier environment.

Sony is offering rebates to consumers who trade in their used PCs. Simply bring in your old PC to a Sony Style store to be recycled and they will issue you a credit toward a new VAIO notebook.

The VAIO Graphic Splash Eco Edition notebooks will start at about $1,391 and will be available in limited quantities at the Sony Viao Eco site starting in early November.
