Sony has just refreshed their VAIO S and F Series notebooks and they're definitely packing some fine horsepower now. Both notebooks can now house an Intel Core i7 CPU which should be enough for your gaming sessions. The VAIO S features a 13.3-inch display with a 1,600 x 900 resolution, an AMD Radeon HD 6630 GPU, an optional SSD, and up to 15 hours of battery life if you choose the "slice" battery. You can pre-order this one right now and it starts at $1,350.

The VAIO F, on the other hand, features a 16.4-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) display, a Nvidia GeForce GT 540M GPU, up to 750GB of storage, a backlit keyboard, USB 3.0 ports, an HD webcam, and S-Force Front Surround 3D tech with Dolby Home Theater v3 support. This notebook starts at $1,100 which isn't too bad and it's cheaper than the VAIO S.

At Sony's CES press conference, they refreshed their all in one PC, the Vaio L, and their notebook, the Vaio F. They're both packing new Intel Core i7 CPU options and the first one is the 24-inch Vaio L. This one packs an HDMI port, Nvidia GeForce GT500M graphics, Dolby Home Theater speakers, wireless keyboard / mouse, an optional Blu-ray drive / burner, and Windows 7. The base model for this one will cost you $1,199 but we don't know when it will be available.

Next up is the 16-inch Vaio F notebook which has 3D capabilities. This notebook packs new Intel Core 2011 CPU options, Nvidia GeForce GT540M graphics, a Full HD 3D LED display (1,920 x 1,080 resolution), and Windows 7. Of course, this notebook will up-convert your 2D movies / Blu-rays to 3D if that's what you want. The base model will be launching for $1,699 when it can be yours next month (February).

Sony has updated a bunch of their products today and they include the Vaio F, EA, EB, EC, and L. The Vaio F with its 16.4-inch display now has a $50 option so you can increase the GPU to a GeForce GT 425M and it also features a couple of USB 3.0 ports. Continuing the upgrades in the notebook line-up is the Vaio EA and EB notebooks which sport Core i5 CPU options along with ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 5650 GPU which will cost you $100. If you pick the EB or EC notebooks up right now the $50 fee for the Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution displays will be available to you for free - until October 9th. Last, but not least, the company's Vaio L all-in-one PC was also upgraded to feature a Blu-ray burner option.

These upgrades are only available on SonyStyle's American site so Canadians are left out for now. A bunch of their notebooks appear to be "Out of Stock" on the Canadian website, so maybe that means these upgrades will be available soon.
