Sony’s always had a knack for making some of the best multimedia laptops around, and the VAIO EC Series is all about continuing the trend. The desk-dominating 17.3-inch laptop is a monster of a machine, and has the internal guns to match – it’s got a Core i3 processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics card, 4GB of RAM, 500GB of storage and a Blu-ray drive. For $949.99, there are definitely more affordable desktop replacements on the market, but can Sony’s usual superior manufacturing build, design and multimedia prowess elevate it above the others

Sony’s VAIO P has been around since last decade , but just recently Sony decided to pry it out of the company’s left rear pocket in order to reface it and bless it with a few updated components. We still have a hard time stomaching the $800 price tag, but there’s honestly not much competition when looking specifically at this form factor.

Well, this isn’t good. Sony ’s issued a warning that about half a million of its VAIO laptops are at risk of seriously overheating, and could even cause burns. The company says that the heat-monitoring chips of its VAIO F and C series laptops (which were launched in January) could be defective, causing them to overheat and physically warp

Well, this is certainly something that makes sense for laptops. Taking a page from the MiFi and smartphones like the Palm Pre , select Sony VAIO Z and Y series laptops will soon be available with a Share My Connect (SMC) feature, which — you guessed it — turns the machines into WiFi hotspots. In the U.S

On the surface it doesn’t look like much separates Sony’s new 21.5-inch VAIO J all-in-one from the growing number of touchscreen AIOs on the market, but it’s definitely one of the more head-turning options out there. Like its 24-inch L Series , the VAIO J has a 1920×1080-resolution display and a Blu-ray drive, but the larger model now packs a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7-620M CPU, up to 8GB of RAM, and NVIDIA discrete graphics options with 512 vRAM.

You’ve really got a thing for florescent these days, don’t ya Sony? Just like its colorful 15.5-inch EB series , Sony’s new 14-inch VAIO EA and 17.3-inch EC Series are available in colors that can only remind us of 80’s workout attire, including bright green, blue, and pink

Remember the boardshort-inspired VAIO W Billabong netbook that surfaced in Australia last week? The limited edition lappy’s headed stateside, too, and its Imperial Lime lid and faster 1.83GHz Atom N470 CPU will only cost you $50 more than the stock model. Mind you, this is otherwise the same pricy VAIO W that wasn’t worth five Benjamins last fall, but if you’re the type that dreams of barreling down a tunnel of deep blue ocean nightly, we suppose the occasional concession can’t hurt

Yesterday we told you what we thought about the new VAIO P , an $800 conversation piece of a netbook, and now Sony is giving potential owners something else to talk about. The little laptop has been granted “Remote Keyboard” functionality, turning it into a sort of giant economy sized version of the PlayStation 3 Wireless Keypad , a device we weren’t particularly fond of when we first played with it way back in 2008. Like that device, the VAIO P has a battery life that’s too short and a keyboard that’s uncomfortable to use, but this new ability adds one more piece of function this very form-centric laptop desperately needs.
