Hong Kong, September 6, 2010 – Sony Corporation of Hong Kong Limited expands the VAIO E Series 14” with a specially designed Mystic Arabesque-themed notebook which is available in two new luxurious colours – Gold and Black – embellished with a distinguishing engraving pattern. This limited edition sports a unique decorative etching pattern reflecting an „arabesque‟ motif with the colours and patterns that allow users to match the VAIO notebook with their personal styles. The pattern seamlessly stretches on to the palm rest and touchpad, allowing users to enjoy the aesthetic component of the design whether the VAIO is open or shut. The beautifully styled notebook will make its users stand out from the crowd. The two colours - Mystic Arabesque Gold and Mystic Arabesque Black – collectively hold an aesthetic appeal of understated elegance with a golden coloured VAIO logo donned on the surface, adding a touch of stylishness to the total design.

The new model comes with Intel® Core™ i5 CPU offering powerful processing capability and ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 graphics with 1GB VRAM to handle image editing, gaming, HD movie playback, and media-rich web sites with ease. It is equipped with a 16:9 real wide VAIO display with up to 1366x768 resolutions and with LED backlight. It offers a colourful, high-contrast view of movies, games, and digital photos and more.
