Sony’s mainstream E and C series of laptops are becoming just a little an update with some new color options and updated processors with regards to E series. The 14-, 15.5-, and 17.3-inch Vaio E models are finally joining the Sandy Bridge brigade with second-gen Core i3 and i5s, while also adding an AMD Fusion option at the 15.5-inch version for all you Sunnyvale fans in the market. The smaller members of the E family should be available in four colors (blue, pink, white, and black) while their big brother is proscribed to white and black. The C series is staying an identical , but adding Neon Red and Thunder Blue for your collection of hues. The updated PCs could be available for pre-order on June 19th but, in the event you really have your heart set on that red Vaio C, you will need to head to pick retailers like Fry’s, ABT, B&H, J&R, MicroCenter, or (watch for it…) Nebraska Furniture Mart — when you are there, pick up a bright red sofa to compare your new lappy. Your entire PR you would handle awaits, just after the break.
