New Sony VAIO K Series Notebooks
Sony just can't help itself from running on a constant
treadmill of new product releases. Blink once and Sony will have
a new notebook or PDA out replacing the one released just
yesterday. Or at least it seems that way sometimes. Anyway, the
latest new notebook from Sony is the VAIO K Series. The K series
comprises three models: the PCG-K13, 15 and 17. All of them
provide integrated 802.11b/g WLAN connectivity. Designed as
desktop replacements, the Ks are based on Mobile Pentium 4
processors - 2.8GHz for the K15 and 3.06GHz for the K17 -
running a 533MHz effective bit rate frontside bus.
The pricing ranges from $1399 to $1899. The top of the line K17
notebook carries the following description: on SonyStyle.com
