Sony is beefing up their VAIO line with three new notebooks, the F-, Y- and W-Series, and is refreshing their VAIO Z-Series. The four new models are available with Blu-ray drives as well as Sony's Transfer Jet technology.

The Sony VAIO Z-Series, with a 13.1' LED backlit screen, weighs only three pounds, thanks to a lightweight carbon fiber body. This road warrior can still kick back and entertain, with a Blu-ray optical drive and HDMI out for movie time. The Z-Series will use solid state drives of up to 512 GB and come with optional 3G connectivity from Verizon. Pre-orders are available now with configurations starting at $1000.
The F-Series is a multi-media affair, with a 16.4' 16:9 screen, and an optional Blu-ray drive to take advantage of that wide aspect ratio. Of course, it pumps out video in full 1080p and boasts an Intel Core i7 processor. It will be available sometime in the spring for around $1900.
The VAIO Y-Series is a 13.3' LED, 3.9lb notebook based on affordability and portability. It's stuck with a Intel Core 2 Duo, but at only $800 makes for a good value. Pre-sales start today.
