Sony unleashed a number of new Vaio laptops today, including a new line called “Fit” and a refresh of the Tap 20 All-in-One, the All-in-One L Series, and the T series 15. Pedro LaFargo, SVP of Sony’s Mobile Entertainment Division, describes the new Fit line as laptops with the same “features as [Sony’s] amazingly thin and powerful ultra-premium models but at an entry-level price point.”

The MacBook-esque Fit line has a body made out of aluminum and is very customizable. You have a choice between a 14-inch screen with a 1600 x 900 (HD+) pixel resolution, or a 15-inch screen with a 1920 x 1080 (full HD) pixel resolution, and you can even swap the normal screen with a touchscreen display for an additional cost. If you want to ensure speedy performance, hybrid drive and solid-state drive options exist. You can also choose among third-generation Intel Core processors (up to i7), optical drives (a Blu-ray writing option exists), and NVIDIA graphics cards with up to 2GB of VRAM. Other features include surround sound, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, ArtRage studio program for artists, and a webcam sensor that makes video chatting in low lightning conditions possible. Both 14-inch and 15-inch versions come with big box speakers, although the 15-inch laptop also has a subwoofer. Check out our review of the Sony Vaio 15 here
