Trying to push the next gen HD format war in their favor, Sony has released a new notebook in their Vaio line, the VGN-FZ180U/B, that features a Blu ray burner at its core.
Although the price tag is still pretty hefty at $2149 USD, the price is much lower than any previous notebooks featuring Blu ray.
The notebook weighs a decently light 5.75 pounds and has a 15.4 inch screen. The laptop features an HDMI-out port to transfer HD video to your TV and has a Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT video card.
The notebook runs on a Core 2 Duo processor and its main attraction is a Blu ray reader and writer that can write at a slow 4x. Battery life is approximately 2 hours on charge.
