Sony has launched a new line of mini notebooks - the VAIO W Series.

The W models come in three colors - berry pink, sugar white and cocoa brown - incorporating a 1366 x 768, LED backlit 10.1-inch (measured diagonally) ultra-wide display, isolated keyboard, built-in webcam and microphone, 160GB hard drive and comes pre-installed with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition operating system.

"The W Series lets you quickly look something up online whether searching for a recipe in the kitchen or relaxing on your recliner - there's no need to trudge upstairs to your office," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of the VAIO business group at Sony. "And it's sturdy enough for the kids to use, making it perfect for every member of the family."

The W Series unit is ENERGY STAR 5.0 compliant, EPEAT Gold registered and incorporates eco-conscious features such as a mercury-free LED backlit LCD. Its corrugated cardboard packaging is comprised of 95 percent recycled content. Sony will also help recycle your old PC (www.sony.com/green ; recycling fees may apply).

The series comes with VAIO Media plus Multimedia Streaming software, a media sharing application that lets users wirelessly stream content across DLNA(R)-enabled devices throughout the home network. Users can also stream video, music and pictures from their W Series to their compatible primary PC or PS3 and vice-versa.

The VAIO W Series mini notebook will retail for about $500 and is available for pre-orders online at www.sonystyle.com/pr/w.
