These Asian notebook makers must know something we don’t as Sony introduced an 18.4-inch giant notebook, the Type A. Sony joins Medion in the 18.4-inch category which is obviously a desktop replacement notebook for those who have big desks. The Vaio A has a fast Core 2 Duo processor and an HD LCD running at 1920×1080 with Adobe RGB. Sony throws in a Blu-Ray burner and HDMI out connection for the full multi-media experience. No word on pricing but if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

1920×1024? Isn’t that just SHORT of HD resolution, 1920×1080? Seems like an odd choice.

Woops, 1080 it is. Brain typo now fixed.
