AR190G coming soon, preorder in Canada
May 14, 2006 3:21 amEngadget picked up on some more news regarding the AR that VAIO has been eluding to in their teasers.
Someone even mentioned that the Sonystyle in Canada already allows you to preorder it.
Check out the goods on this sweet machine.
Most notibly, the HDMI connector and Blu-Ray burning. People are complaining about the weight, but come on, who is going to be carrying this thing around in their laptop bag. This is a true work of art. They are even going to bundle Vegas Movie Studio. I must admit, if they could do this in a thin form factor like the current MacBook Pro 17″, then we are talking mind blowing. They are even going to throw in a Blu-Ray movie to boot. The price tag is a bit of a stickler, but not surprising considering what you are getting and that its Sony VAIO.

I have to say, I really like your style and honesty.
I was recently on sonystyle.ca and wanted to let you know that this model is definitely available to pre-order with an ETA of June 14th!
Sounds, and looks, like it’s worth the almost 4k cdn!
BTW, have you heard of the Vaio “blowout” they are haviong there? Not sure for how long it’ll be running, but this is a great deal ($650 off!!!!) for anyone looking for a BX series VAIO at a discounted price!
here is the link if you want it:
