Sony has prepared to refresh their Vaio laptops with some seasonal upgrades seeing as winter is coming soon. First and foremost, the 16.4-inch VAIO F is getting a kick in the graphical department – just as expected, you can grab a GeForce GT 425M 1GB for a nominal $50 fee — and there’s a pair of standard-issue USB 3.0 ports to power some potent peripherals. The Vaio L touchscreen all-in-one, meanwhile, is getting a Blu-ray burner at the $2,199 level, and both the VAIO EA and VAIO EB will have a power plant of 2.53GHz Core i5-460M and 2.66GHz Core i5-580M processors for $130 and $230 premiums, respectively, as well as ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics for a mere $100. Last but not least, the EB and EC can trade in their weak 1366 x 768 displays for 1920 x 1080 full HD glory, and until October 9th that particular $50 upgrade costs you the very reasonable price of free, or so they say.
