Sony dares you to express yourself with the new VAIO

Are you ready for Spring? Sony is ready, and is releasing three cheery VAIO Graphic Splash Expression Collection notebooks you can design yourself. The company has introduced limited edition VAIOs in the past in many designs and colors, but what's different about this new crop is you can mix-and-match colors and patterns to match your own personal style.

Sony will let you select from three different patterns that include victorian lace, flora and leaf. Once you pick the pattern you like, you can then choose whether you want it on a pink, blue or black surface. What's really cool, and something I've never seen before, is you can also choose the type of fonts you want on your keyboard. Your options will be Bradley Hand, Copperplate, and Synchro. All very cool font types.

The company says on its website the Expression Collection will feature Intel Core 2 Duo Processors, DVD-RW/Blue-ray Disc drives, built-in wireless capabilities, and a 15.4-inch widescreen LCD display with XBRITE technology. The limited edition VAIO will retail for $1,300 and is available now at SonyStyle.com.
