Sony Delivers New Touch-Screen HD PC/TV

VAIO L Series Puts TV, Internet and Blu-ray Disc Movies One Touch Away

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony today unveiled its new touch-enabled,
multi-media machine -- the VAIO® L Touch HD PC/TV.

With the VAIO L Series' multi-touch screen, easy access to your PC, HDTV, DVR
-- your entire entertainment hub -- is readily at your fingertips.

Equipped with a 24-inch (diagonal) WUXGA (1920x1080) widescreen panel, the
unit displays high-definition content in Full HD resolution.

Select models feature a Blu-ray Disc(TM) optical drive so you can enjoy
high-definition movies. A rewritable BD drive for recording, storing and
playing back personal content on high-capacity BD media is also available.

"The L Series is the ultimate multi-media hub -- it's your PC, HDTV and DVR in
one compact, stylish device," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of the
VAIO business group at Sony. "And with cutting-edge features such as
multi-touch, it's ideal for media lovers who appreciate HD performance and
cutting-edge technology."

Select models feature a built-in tuner so you can connect to your digital
cable TV service and Over-The-Air (ATSC) HD TV signals (antenna required) and
watch television on your PC.

An optional HDMI(TM) input is available, so in addition to the unit's built-in
HD features you can connect a compatible HD cable box, satellite receiver or
PLAYSTATION®3 (all sold separately) via a single cable and enjoy HD
entertainment without powering on the PC.

And with built-in DVR capabilities and up to a terabyte of storage, you can
create a personal entertainment library with up to 100 hours of HD television.

It comes with Windows® 7 Home Premium or Professional 64-bit operating system.
Leveraging these new operating systems, the L Series is able to offer new
functionalities such as a touch screen display enabling you to do anything you
could do with a mouse with the touch of a finger.

Launch directly into Sony's own Media Gallery software by pushing the
designated VAIO button on the keyboard and create high-quality home movies and
slideshows in three simple steps. Import your photos and video, choose a theme
and soundtrack, click finish and the software does the rest, generating a
professional-looking movie complete with special effects -- all by touching
the screen.

The unit packs a powerful Intel® Core(TM) 2 Quad processor (select models),
loads of RAM, and a dedicated NVIDIA® GeForce ® series graphics for
graphic-intense gaming and movies.

By utilizing built-in wireless 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi technology and your wireless
router (required, sold separately), you can position the model virtually
anywhere in your home and access the Internet, email or home network.

The model is ideal for anywhere space is at a premium. It has a mounting
capability that allows users to attach a VESA-compatible mount (sold
separately) to it and hang it on the wall of your bedroom, kitchen, office or
attach to your desk.

When not mounted to the wall, the L Series features an adjustable stand to
help you adjust the unit to meet your desired viewing or touch angle or simply
to decrease the slant for space-saving. A wireless keyboard, mouse and remote
control (select models) are included.

The VAIO L Touch HD PC/TV will start at about $1,300. It is available for
pre-orders today online at www.sonystyle.com/pr/l. It will also be sold at
Sony Style® stores and select retailers around the country starting next
month.
