Sony Vaio S comes in brown and gold

I wasn't going to bother blogging the latest spec bump in Sony's Vaio S laptops, but then I noticed you could order it in brown and gold. The new model has a 13.3" display, a .95" thick magnesium alloy body, and an i7 processor. With the snap-on extended battery panel, it lasts "up to 15 hours" on a snort. Matching leather safari jacket and gradient sunglasses optional.

Whoever is chopping your blow did a real shit job of it.

it comes straight from Ray Liotta’s Mistresses apartment in Goodfellas. but until it comes with a rehab ticket and and suitable soundtrack I think I’ll pass.

The “S” must stand for “shoogah”.
[btw, mad props to Sten for that comment, brilliant.]

OK so who’s idea was the mystery white powder? If it is coke, see Inside Job 2010 for how destructive that white powder can be.

I’ve gone on the Sony site, as linked, and find no such photo. There’s a similar one without the white powder — but what gives? Am I missing it?

Well… Too large, and it seems heavy to me. Just a laptop like any other.

It’s shopped! I CAN TELL FROM THE PIXELS.

Looks like you have to dust the lid off with your nose there.

Masterful, yet simple, photoshop. I tip my hat.

Obviously this is meant to match the brown Zunes that everyone has.

Also, I really like the lines on this new laptop. Very clean.

Designed to sell to Browncoaters?

If that were pizeoluminescent crystalline LSD-25, I’m buyin’. Wood panel colourway = awesome. Only if it’s gymnosperm, though.

Does it also come with some sort of straw? Or some kind of cash rebate – as in, say, a dollar bill?

Is that some blow on the top? It looks like the 80s, but that’s carrying verisimilitude a little far, doncha think?

  That would be the spec ‘bump’ Rob referred to…

Is it a selling point that you can snort coke off of your laptop?

Brilliant!

Can be handy for snorting coke as well.

  Don’t you mean this laptop could be handy for computing as well?

Toss on a legacy ubuntu os (the pre-purple) and you’d be good to go (aesthetically anyway). That’s assuming you have any faith in left in the troublesome manufacturer of the device.

WHY IS THERE BLOW ON THE LAPTOP !

Is that the only think they could think about when designing a product connected to 15 hours of battery life ?

YAY

It’d look great alongside a Firebird Trans Am rocking the brown ‘n gold paint scheme.

Not interested until it comes in blue and light blue.

I’ll wait until they offer faux-wood panels, thank you.

Sheesh, what are they doing for inspiration? Looking at photos of 70′s yanqui station wagons?

I’d wait until full vinyl trim.

i felt so cyberpunk the first time i did a line off my glossy black laptop, but crushing powder tends to scuff the finish.

There’s something happening here, and I’m not sure I know what it is…

15 hours on a snort? Sounds closer to meth than blow.

Sony … yeah, those wonderful people who brought you root kits and compromised registration info.

  Couldn’t agree more. I wouldn’t buy a computer from them even if they were the only manufacturer in the world.
  
  No more Sony for me…ever
