“At Sony it is understood that people care about more than the nuts and bolts of a notebook. It is a personal possession, and one which they wish to take a certain pride in. With the A-Series, we have created a range of notebooks that meet today’s much higher expectations of such personal technology. These are machines which have an aspirational dimension, which is reflected in their extremely high design values as much as the technical sophistication they offer.” Jun Koyama, Information Technology Europe Sales and Marketing Director.
