Sony VAIO SZ7, TZ2 Series Leak onto the Web

With the known release of Intel's Penryn processor coming at the beginning of January we know all too well there will be laptops to come with that announcement. Sony has helped out by leaking a new VAIO TZ2 to their own website and Amazon.com has leaked the VAIO SZ7.

The VAIO SZ791 will apparently be the update to the current VAIO SZ6. The VAIO S791 popped up on Amazon.com for a while and the specs can still be seen through some price comparison sites. Shopping.com has the specs listed for the VAIO S791 listed as the following:

• Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 with 6MB L2 Cache
• Genuine Microsoft Windows Vista Business
• 13.3" widescreen display with XBRITE LCD technology
• 4GB RAM
