Sony joins the giant laptop fray- Vaio A

These Asian notebook makers must know something we don’t as Sony introduced an 18.4-inch giant notebook, the Type A.  Sony joins Medion in the 18.4-inch category which is obviously a desktop replacement notebook for those who have big desks.  The Vaio A has a fast Core 2 Duo processor and an HD LCD running at 1920×1080 with Adobe RGB.  Sony throws in a Blu-Ray burner and HDMI out connection for the full multi-media experience.  No word on pricing but if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
