Sony Japan announced a new update to its Type N series with new models VGN-NW50JB and VGN-NW70JB. SonyStyle USA currently offers a Vaio NS, which is very similar to the NW but not as powerful as this new release. The NW series features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (P8700) @ 2.53ghz, a 15.5 inch screen (16:9, 1366×768), 4GB of DDR2 RAM (PC2-6400; up to 8GB supported), Intel Graphics Media accelerator 4500MHD, a 500GB HDD, and Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. The VGN-NW50JB comes standard with a DVD reader/writer, while the VGN-NW70JB features DVD and Blu-ray combination reader/writer drive. Other useful features include HDMI out, 802.11a/b/g/n, a built in 3.1 megapixel webcam and microphone, SD Memory/Memory Stick ports, and a FeliCa card reader for our Japanese friends. The NW series also carries on the tradition of a fabric-like texture on the lid of the laptop.
Battery life looks to be about 2.5 – 4.5 hours for both models. The VGN-NW50JB should retail for Y149,800, while the VGN-NW70JB is expected to hit for Y169,800 and be available everywhere in Japan on June 27th.
