Sony Vaio LaptopsL

Sony is a well know electronics company that made headlines with the walkman in the early 80's. Using its expertise in making small compact electronics, they ventured into the computer business releasing the brand Vaio. Vaio notebooks are generally aimed at the high end of the laptop market however you can find some entry level models that compete with HP and Acer.

High-end VAIO notebooks are usually shipped with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium or Buisness, while low end laptops such as N series come with Microsoft Vista Home basic. As of October 2005, VAIO notebooks and desktop are available upon request without pre-installed software at a slightly lower price. Most recently, some models no longer ship with a Recovery CD, but a special partition on the hard drive is used for the recovery information, including operating system and all bundled software. VAIO users are prompted to create a set of recovery CDs or DVDs immediately after purchase.

VAIO computers come with components from companies such as Intel processors, Seagate Technology or Fujitsu hard drives, Infineon RAM, Sony (usually made by Hitachi) or Matsushita optical drives, Intel or nVidia graphics processors and Sony speakers.
