Sony VAIO BX Business Notebook

Sony has officially launched its first line of corporate notebooks with its VAIO BX line. The Sony VAIO BX is targeted at mobile professionals, focusing on security, portability, and communication.

The BX Series will offer an array of display sizes, including a 14-inch (VGN-BX540), 15.4-inch (VGN-BX560), and up to a 17-inch (VGN-BX570) widescreen. All sizes feature Sony’s multi-function bay. Users can swap out powerful peripherals, such as a DVD+/-RW, +R double layer drive or an 80GB hard drive bay unit. Each of these optional accessories is cross-compatible with all three size configurations of the BX Series.

Sony’s systems have lacked security standards, lagging behind vendors, such as HP and IBM. The BX line will be the first among Sony laptops to have built-in TPM (Trusted Platform module) and biometrics. Both security devices will be used in tandem for an added level of hardware security.

The model line also utilizes an advanced power-saving feature for mobile usage called VAIO Power Management Viewer(TM), for setting power modes to control the balance of stamina and performance required.

Prices will start around $1,350 for VGN-BX540 (14-inch), $1,300 for the VGN-BX560 (15.4-inch widescreen), and $1,580 for the VGN-BX570 (17-inch widescreen).
