Since 1997,
Sony Corporation has been manufacturing personal computers under the VAIO brand, an acronym meaning Video Audio Integrated Operation.
The logo is doubly meaningful in that the melding of analog and digital is also represented.
The 'VA' represents an analog wave and the 'IO' represents digital binary code.
After a couple years in the business, Sony was making some of the most stylish notebook PCs on the market,
arguably second only to Apple Computer. My interest in VAIOs is largely based on their appearance,
which in my opinion has been head and shoulders above any other Windows PC manufacturer.
I have owned a handful of Sony laptops over the years.
I built myself a capable
desktop PC, but as a student I have a perfect excuse to buy more toys.
My first was an
R505 Series which I bought second hand in 2003.
I used the notebook as the subject of a
product review I wrote for a review writing class.
In 2005 I bought an
SRX77, a 10 inch subnotebook which I enjoyed immensely and put a good deal of money into.
Currently, I am in possession of a few VAIOs including a
PCG-TR3AP, Picturebook PCG-C1MVP and VGN-TZ240N/B.
Sony, VAIO® and VAIO logo are trademarks of
Sony Corporation.
After buying my first VAIO laptop, I took an interest in the desktop wallpapers Sony includes with their computers.
As they are not widely available, I created my own page in an effort to rectify that problem.
I am now endeavoring to host the best collection of
VAIO wallpapers anywhere.
