Vaio presents its first products since it was sold by Sony last February-- the Vaio Pro and Vaio Fit, a pair of laptops more or less identical to the Fit and Pro announced by Sony back at IFA 2013.
The Vaio Pro is a carbon fibre number featuring 4th generation Intel Haswell CPU and a 13.3-inch touchscreen display, while the Vaio Flip is a hybrid device able to switch between laptop and tablet modes. Of course both lack Sony branding, even if they will be found in the Sony Japan Online Store.
According to CEO Takayuki Sekitori the independent (or at least owned by Japanese investment fund Japan Industrial Partners) is a "small" PC maker with plans to retain the Vaio DNA and attention to detail.
The two laptops are on sale now in Vaio's home Japan, but the company has no plans to go global-- at least for now.
