#SONY VAIO S SERIES PINK LAPTOP WINDOWS 8#
The base price includes an all-plastic chassis and the screens mentioned earlier (touch is a $100 add-on) as well as a dual-core Pentium 2117U CPU (upgradeable to a dual-core Core i3, i5, or i7), integrated graphics (upgradeable to an Nvidia GeForce 740M with either 1GB or 2GB of video RAM), 4GB of RAM (upgradeable to 6GB or 8GB), a 500GB 5400RPM hard drive (which can be switched out for larger and/or hybrid hard drives, but not SSDs), a DVD burner (upgradeable to a Blu-ray burner), and Windows 8 (or Windows 8 Pro). The Fit E laptops come in 14- and 15-inch versions, which begin at $549.99 and $579.99, respectively. That being said, Sony still offers a bewildering range of options across the four laptops being introduced today. The Fit brand is intended to eventually clean up Sony’s confusing laptop lineup, which currently consists of the E-series (low-end), the S-series (mid-end), and the T-series (Ultrabooks), joining the existing Tap and Duo brands in an effort to make the lineup less obtuse. The 14-inch models use a 1600×900 resolution, while the 15-inch models bump this to 1920×1080. You won’t mistake these for premium machines, but they do raise the bar in one important respect: a Sony rep told us that none of the systems would include a 1366×768 display. That’s one of the things that Sony wants to change with its new mainstream laptop lineup, dubbed the VAIO Fit series. However, as we found the last time we took a look at entry-level laptops, it's hard to find features like this at or below $600. There's no question that once you're talking about spending $1,000 or more on a high-end Ultrabook, there are many respectable options: you can get a nice, high-resolution screen and good build quality from Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga and X1 Carbon, Dell's XPS 12, or Asus' Zenbook Prime series. We don't often pay attention to entry-level product launches, but Sony's latest laptop offerings have piqued our interest.
