Sony VAIO Graphic Splash Maya Hayuk "Grow" Edition

Sony is releasing limited edition Graphic Splash VAIO FZ series notebooks designed by New York artist Maya Hayuk. Hayuk is known for her colorful and symmetrical imagery and by incorporating her designs on the VAIO FZ series, she transformed an already stunning notebook into a work of art. One of the limited edition notebooks is the VAIO FZ-series Graphic Splash Maya Hayuk "Grow" Edition (VGN-FZ190E/1).

Design

The design of the VAIO FZ Series Graphic Splash "Grow" Edition feels like an organic forest, there is a deep green, blue, and purple flowers that seems to be growing wildly across notebook lid. Hayuk's artwork is not only found outside the notebook but inside as well. The VAIO "Grow" Edition includes a wallpaper that matches the design outside of the notebook and comes with a certificate of authenticity with Hayuk's original signature. The chasis of the VAIO FZ series notebook is encased in durable and super lightweight magnesium alloy, reducing the weight of the laptop but also serves as a durable shell.
