Sony's press conference earlier today revealed details of the company's Blu-ray strategy and introduced a new laptop in the Vaio NW series. We talked to Sony about the new system a few weeks ago, and here are some details on this Blu-ray equipped 15.5-inch notebook.
The basic NW180J/S is $880 (for $80 less you can skip the Blu-ray drive, but what's the point?), and includes a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7350, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a 400GB 5400rpm hard drive, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and a 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4750 graphics card. The 16:9 display has a native resolution of 1366 x 768, which isn't ideal for Blu-ray, but is typical for widescreen 15-inch screens.
