Sony is selling off its PC
department - the VAIO (acronym for "Visual Audio Intelligent Organizer") brand to be more precise along with related assets and
workforce. The buyer is a Japanese investment group called Japan Industrial
Partners (JIP). With this deal in effect, Sony will no longer manufacture or
sell PCs under the VAIO brand name. According the reports the transition will
be finalized within the 1st quarter of 2014. After that you may
still be able to buy VAIO laptops but those won’t be from Sony!
