Engadget / Gizmodo both reporting on the official launch of the new line of Sony Laptops.

From Engadget:
“The VAIO Z packs an option for dual SSD in a RAID configuration (which is just rubbing it in, if you ask us)”

yes. yes it is…

I’ve been really pleased with how my current laptop – The Sony SZ – has held up over the last two years. The form factor is great and it’s tough to find a similarly portable laptop that packs as much power. I just came across some information on an upcoming line of Sony laptops that will feature Intel’s new Montevina chipset.

The Sony Z. And the specs look great…

Core 2 Duo 2.53ghz 6mb Cache 1066Mhz FSB
4GB DDR2-800
Nvidia 9300M (speed) / Intel graphics (stamina)
320GB
HSDPA
1600×900 13.1″ (wahey!)
and all at ~3.3lbs

I’ll throw in a Solid State Disk when I get one, and let’s hope it places nice with Ubuntu.
