Sony has announced its first desktop and notebook PCs shipping with Blu-ray burners. The VAIO RC Series is aimed at aspiring moviemakers and videographers, allowing them to archive their high-definition footage on BD-R (write once) or BD-RE (rewritable) discs.

Unlike many new notebooks, the TX2 will not be a Core Duo notebook. It will use instead an Ultra-Low Voltage (ULV) Intel Pentium M processor with Centrino technology. The TX2 will not have a fan. Sony indicates that the use of LED technology in the display will stretch standard battery life to 7.5 hours. There is no indication of release date for the Sony VAIO TX2, but as soon as we know, you will. Via:Sony Europe
