New Sony VAIO Y and Z series feature Share My Connection

Similar to MiFi, the new Sony VAIO laptops in the Y and Z series support a feature known as Share My Connection which acts like a personal WiFi hotspot. Select models within these two new series allow for five different devices to connect via WiFi to “Share My Connection” in the Sony VAIO laptop. Devices that can connect via Share My Connection include PCs, other laptops, smartphones, cameras, etc.

The secure connection ensures data privacy when connected on the portable network. When traveling, connecting to the web is essential and using something like SMC might save you a lot of money. In terms of laptop specs, the Z series features a 13.1 inch LED screen, optional Blu-ray player, and weighs only 3 pounds. The Y series comes with a slightly bigger screen – 13.3 inches. And since the Y series is designed for teenagers and young adults, it comes in five different colors (purple violet, fuchsia pink, pear green, teal blue and black), and will be available right before school starts again.

Sony is currently taking pre-orders online and at select retailers. The Y series will cost $770, while the high-end Z series will cost $1950.
