The Sony Vaio range

The Sony VAIO is a sub-brand for Sony’s computer products. Its name is an acronym for Video Audio Integrated Operation, but since 2008 it has been amended to Visual Audio Intelligence Organiser to celebrate the brand’s 10th year anniversary.

The idea was developed by Timothy Hanley, as a way of distinguishing items that use audio and video as well as been functional PC’s.

Sony’s re-entry into the computer market happened in 1996 with the launch of the new line of PCV desktops under the VAIO brand.

You can now see notebooks, laptops, desktops, media centres and netbooks adorning the famous VAIO logo.

Sony Vaio entertainment

The series of Sony VAIO are built for entertainment, whether it’s listening to music on their Dolby® Sound Room® technology or watching a Blu-ray Disc™  on a X-black LCD screen. Enviromentally friendly and often with great innovations such as solid state drives VAIOs are great computers.

Personal media specialists

VAIO’s are the best PC’s for people who wish to get their own personal entertainment system out of their laptop or desktop.
