Sony announced four new Sony VAIO notebook lines including the fashion line Sony VAIO SR.

Constructed of lightweight, durable magnesium alloy, the Sony VAIO SR notebooks are available in five colors: night black, sunset pink, glossy pink, classic silver and glossy silver.
Weighing just over four pounds, the SR notebook boasts a 13.3-inch LED backlit widescreen display and Sony’s patented XBRITE-ECO LCD technology for clear, crisp images.

Equipped with a uniquely designed keyboard, the unit’s individual keys are slightly raised, producing a user-friendly touch and improved typing experience.

The notebook is powered by new Intel Centrino 2 technology, the chipset designed for lighting-fast performance, instant system responsiveness and energy efficiency.

Select models come pre-installed with the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system. A Windows XP Professional downgrade is also available.

The Sony VAIO SR notebooks include the following models: VGN-SR130ES, VGN-SR130EB, VGN-SR130EP, VGN-SR130NB, VGN-SR140EB, VGN-SR140EP, VGN-SR140ES, VGN-SR140NS, VGN-SR165EB, VGN-SR165EP, VGN-SR165ES, VGN-SR165NB, and VGN-SR175NB.
