Sony cuts the VAIO SA’s starting price to $999, starts shipping the 15-inch VAIO SE

Plenty of PC news flowing out of Sony Electronics’ US headquarters this fine Sunday morning. First, the corporate slashed the starting price of the 13-inch VAIO SA laptop from $1,250 to $1,000, while the lower-end SB series now starts at $780 (it were going for $800 after instant savings). We asked Sony’s PR team what which means for people who recently purchased either of those through Sony’s online store, and still haven’t gotten a response, however the company was quick to remind us that it’s as much as retailers equivalent to Best Buy to set their very own price protection policies. (Thanks, Sony!)

Moving along, that 15.5-inch VAIO SE series we reviewed a month ago is ultimately up on the market, beautiful 1080p display and all. You will see her on Sony’s site starting at 1000 bucks with a Core i5-2430M processor, 4GB of RAM, a 640GB 5,400RPM harddrive, DVD burner and, without a doubt , that 1920 x 1080 panel. So, is all this is worth a flaky trackpad and poor battery life (sans $150 slice)? That, friends, is a call you will have to make for yourself. Finally, in additional granular news, the 14-inch C and E series are becoming expanded Sandy Bridge processor options, while the 16-inch F series and L series all-in-ones will include Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum, Sound Forge Audio Studio and ACID Music Studio pre-installed. To boot, the SA, L, F and E series are all getting speed bumps, as are pre-configured SB and Z series laptops. Oh, and the SB is now available in red. Got it? Good.
