VAIO G unleashed: Diets with LifeBook Q2010

Darius Chang | May 01, 2007

Editors' note :

As the first corporate model from Sony, it will not be available through its usual distribution channels. Instead, SIS Technologies will be the main retailer for the G series, as well as its own Sony Galleries stores. The VAIO G has a price tag of S$3,799 (US$2,793.38).
Anorexia is in, at least in the notebook world. The incredibly slim Sony VAIO G series will soon be unleashed in Asia Pacific and battles with the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 in the featherweight category.

At only 25.5mm high, the 12.1-inch VAIO G series is slimmer than two standard DVD cases stacked together. As it uses an ultralight but strong carbon-fiber chassis, it sneaks in at under 1.2kg which makes it slightly heavier than the magnesium-alloy LifeBook. Both ultralights are based on the Centrino Core platform and integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics card, making them capable of running Windows Vista.

But here is the kicker. The 1.15kg model sports an integrated optical drive. The battery life, according to Sony, logs in at 11 hours 30 minutes, making it a true all-day computing platform.
