<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1106/sonyvaioz2011.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Sony chose Europe as the first venue to unveil a redesigned VAIO Z.  The new system is now more consciously pitched as a MacBook Air equivalent and moves both the optical drive and even dedicated graphics to an external box, the Power Media Dock.  The new PC is the first non-Mac to use Thunderbolt, albeit not in Mini DisplayPort form, and uses the high-speed cable to handle not just Blu-ray or DVD...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1105/macbookpro-thunderbolt2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Intel moved quickly to hush claims of a Thunderbolt trademark dispute with an official response.  Senior communications lead Dave Salvator in a statement late Thursday said that Apple had filed some of the early trademarks but that Intel still had the complete rights "now and into the future," he told BSN.  Intel and all computer makers could use Thunderbolt anywhere, "irrespective of operating sy...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1103/sonyvaiox-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[A pair of rumors from a historically accurate source have Sony planning two ultraportable VAIOs, one of which could be its direct answer to the MacBook Air.  The centerpiece, nicknamed the Hybrid PC, would by itself be a fast ultralight with a Core i7, an SSD, HDMI 1.4, WiDi and a weight of just under 2.5 pounds.  When docked, however, the system seen by Sony Insider would turn into a full desktop...]]></description>
