Sony Vaio AW Series Notebook 18.4-inch Review

Sony Vaio AW Series Notebook 18.4-inch Review The Sony VAIO AW Series Notebook was announced on the Sep 9th 2008 and it’s not only huge at 18.4-inches. It’s also massive in other ways, like the the huge hard drive and 3LED backlighting. The VAIO AW series features a massive 18.4-inch screen with 3LED backlighting, which “is a technical breakthrough found on high-end BRAVIA LCD TVs,” according to Sony. The 3LED technology uses three separate LEDs – red, green, and blue – for pure color reproduction, similar to how three-chip video cameras work. The screen itself is capable of displaying true 1920×1080 HD.

The AW Series is a hefty 8.4 lbs, has an HDMI out, NTSC internal tuner and an ATSC USB tuner. This loaded laptop is set to ship in Japan on September 20th for about $2,792 for the standard version and $2,978 for the LED-backlit version. No word on a U.S. release yet, but it will likely be toned down a bit and more affordable once it comes stateside.
This monolith of a laptop is intended to replace the VAIO AR Series and acts as a serious competitor to standard desktop PCs. And it might just do it, considering this computer sports 3LED backlighting, which is a feature in BRAVIA LCD TVs.
