Sony VAIO Y Series Is Sleek and Well-Equipped

Upon first seeing the new Sony VAIO Y Series laptop (model VPCYB15KX), your first thought will likely be, "That is a very pink laptop." Virtually everyone in the PCWorld offices who saw our test unit felt the need to express just that thought. Of course, that's just this particular test system. If you're neither a 13-year-old girl, nor especially into promoting breast cancer awareness, you can get the system with silver styling instead.
The Y Series is Sony's first foray into using AMD's new Fusion CPUs. It utilizes the fastest of the lot, the E-350: a dual-core CPU that runs at 1.6GHz and integrates a Radeon HD 6310 graphics unit. Sony equips the system with a nice 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive, though the drive only spins at 5400 rpm, which makes launching apps and loading large amounts of data a little on the slow side.
