Japan just got its own “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!†sequel, it’s called “Honey, We Just Shrunk the Sony Vaio Y Series!â€. And like any good anime or game titles, Japan gets to hold it first while the rest of the world wait drooling in anticipation. What’s there not to get excited about? Sony just managed to slash off a few inches and a few pounds on their Vaio Y series without cutting out on the specs. The new Y-series just got trimmed down to a mere 11.6 inches from 13.3, and it now only weighs roughly around 1.3 kg. The best part is that it gets to keep its 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS, 1.33 GHz Core i3-380UM processor, 2 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive, Intel HD graphics, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and webcam. It’s a tall order and borders on the insulting to call the new Y-series a netbook especially when it has all the makings of a fully pledged laptop bonus the scaled down size.
The 11.6-inch LED display manages to squeeze in 1366×768 resolution that perfectly complements the smaller screen. Sony also managed to add their signature chiclet keyboard. The other features that come standard with the new Vaio Y Series are gigabit LAN, USB slots, integrated card reader, and HDMI output for easily sharing multimedia contents over HDTV. Basic configuration can operate for 6 hours on raw battery power which is pretty standard. Getting an extended battery can push the power up to 11 hours but it adds to the overall weight of the laptop. No words yet on international availability but it should be well worth the wait.

You can now own a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster for just £499 or $798. The tag price is no typo error but you won’t be riding this luxury roadster anytime soon – ASUS in their continuous partnership with Lamborghini just launched a Murcielago speedster inspired notebook, the ASUS-Lamborghini Eee PC VX6.
The exterior is detailed with smooth lines, seamless curves and a glossy black or white finish adorned with the familiar golden bull Lamborghini crest on the lid. Instead of an engine, the ASUS-Lamborghini Eee PC VX6 ultraportable 12.1-inch notebook is powered by the latest generation Dual Core Intel Atom D525 processor that features two Hyper-Threading technology enabled cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. It has a total of four parallel processing threads that boost performance of multi-threaded applications and dramatically increase the response times of even the most resource hungry tasks. The GPU on the other hand is none other than NVIDIA Ion 2 which delivers smooth and awe-inspiring graphics that’s up to 60% faster than the previous generation NVIDIA Ion.
If you like how the Murcielago’s engine and exhaust roars as it cruise the streets, then you’ll definitely fall for Eee PC VX6’s Bang and Olufsen Icepower and SRS Premium surround sound speakers that promise a rich and immersive audio experience. Forget pit stop, the Lamborghini Eee PC VX6 can run straight for 6 hours on pure battery power thanks to its integrated NVIDIA Optimus technology that automatically balances graphics performance and power consumption depending on the applications being used. Other features include USB 3.0 interface, Bluetooth 3.0 and a dual bootable Express Gate system.
