2. Sony Sells Vaio PC Business
Sony is officially giving up on laptops and desktops, announcing
plans to sell its Vaio PC business to a Japanese investment group.
It’s sad to see Sony go. Vaio was a high-end brand with big name
recognition. Sony wasn’t into selling notebooks for a long time. In
fact, they resisted netbooks at first and focused lightweight laptops
before many of its fellow PC makers. The company successfully
launched a few Windows 8 hybrids like the Vaio Duo 13 and the Flip
PC line. Anyone who appreciates a good-looking laptop should miss
Vaio’s presence on store shelves.

3. Sony sold 7.5 million units last year worldwide.
They still plan to launch a spring product lineup
and support existing customers, but after that the
company will stop manufacturing new PCs,
discontinue sales and cut off new product design
and development.

4. Sony’s misfortune is making competitor
Panasonic like pretty good, though. The
company has quit manufacturing some
consumer electronics, such as
smartphones, in exchange for investing in
future technologies like electric car
batteries. As a result, its quarterly earnings
have gone up threefold.
Sony’s mobile arm saw sales increase
during the holiday quarter but the company
now forecasts a massive full-year loss of
about $1.1 billion.
