Sony has unveiled its new entry-level Vaio laptop, the 15.5-inch E-series.
The E-series, which replaces the NW series in Sony's laptop line-up, uses Intel's new dual-core range, with the lowest specification including a Core i3 processor. Core i processors have integrated high-definition graphics capabilities, but E-series laptops also include ATI Mobility Radeon 5000 series dedicated graphics cards.
The machine's ports include HDMI output, three USB ports and a fourth eSata/USB port. The E-series is also the first Vaio to include a numerical keypad alongside its standard keyboard.
As with all new Vaios, the laptop includes a Vaio Assist button, which Sony marketing manager Robbie Duncan described at Tuesday's launch event as a "one-click care mechanic". The button triggers four stages: a diagnostic check, a troubleshooting guide, system restore and recovery, and information on how to get in touch with customer services.
At the same event, Sony also showed off the other new laptops in its Vaio line-up, which are shown on the following pages.
