The FJ3 Series of notebooks, with widescreen 14.1-inch display, now features X-black LCD screen enhancement for stronger colours and reflection reduction. And there’s the addition of Sony’s Motion Eye video cam and pre-installed Skype 2.0.

For the Vaio SZ2 Series, 1GB of 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM is now standard across the range. The top-end VGN-SZ2VP/C is powered by the T2600 – the fastest Intel Core Duo currently available. Both models also feature one of the thinnest notebook screens ever created – 4.5mm front to back.

All models are due in time for summer, but as yet we’ve no news on pricing or specific release dates.
