A Really Big Notebook to Replace the Desktop

Tuesday 7 June 2011 @ 7:12 am

A number of notebooks on the market style themselves as desktop replacements, but the Sony Vaio AW series is being positioned to replace the home theater — sort of.

The new Vaio starts with a mammoth 18.4-inch widescreen display, pumped up with display technology to rival many flat-panel TVs. Its resolution is 1080p — one of the higher high-definition standards. It is also the resolution of Sony’s Blu-ray DVD technology, and a Blu-ray drive is included. (One could ask how much resolution one really needs at 18.4 inches, but why spoil the display arms race?) 

Though the emphasis is on the display, the Vaio AW is also a high-end computer aimed at those who want to edit photos and videos in HD. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to a terabyte of storage and 4GB of RAM memory. 

The AW comes in three models ranging from $2,000 to $3,200. The Vaio AW can also be connected to your TV via an HDMI connection, which supports not only HD, but also 5.1 surround sound. 

And at nearly nine pounds, it may spend more time tethered to something at home than out on the road
