New VAIOs Made of Carbon Fiber

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-feel-pretty-so-pretty dept.

Shawnzyoo noted that Sony has released their new series of VAIO TX laptops. In order to make them stronger/lighter/thinner, they are now made of carbon fiber. No plans to release it in the US yet, so start learning Korean if you want this one.

    It may make them lighter and stronger, but does it make them cooler and cheaper?

    Korean markings and graphics? Yes.
    Misused carbon fiber? Yes.
    Poor price to performance ratio? Yes.

    Is this a riceburner or a laptop?
