VAIO has begun accepting orders for limited-edition Toy Story 5 laser-engraved laptops, released to coincide with the Japan premiere of the film. The special models are available on the VAIO F16 and VAIO F14 notebooks, sold through the VAIO Store. The laptops feature two laser-engraved top cover designs: "Buzz Lightyear and Alien," showing Buzz carrying an alien and aliens in a crane game; and "Best Friends," which includes Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and Bullseye. Buyers can choose from three body colors: navy blue, satin gold, and satin silver. The engraving is done by skilled technicians at VAIO's factory in Azumino, Nagano Prefecture. Each laptop ships with three original wallpapers and special Disney-logo packaging. The earliest delivery date is July 18, 2026. A campaign running until August 5, 2026 offers a 10,000 yen discount on the base price, and an additional 5,000 yen off for models with Intel Core 5 or Core 7 processors. The minimum price for the F16 is 181,500 yen, and for the F14 is 176,000 yen. Early buyers receive a free alien mascot called 'Hyotto' while supplies last.
The laser engraving is performed at VAIO's own factory in Azumino, Nagano, by technicians who hand-finish each design. The two artwork options are drawn from the Toy Story series: the "Buzz and Alien" design features Buzz running with an alien in his arms and a crane-game scene, while "Best Friends" assembles the main cast. The campaign period runs from the order start date through 9:59 a.m. on August 5, 2026, and applies to both the F16 and F14 models. The F16 has a 16.0-inch WQXGA display and weighs 1.57 to 1.59 kg, while the F14 has a 14.0-inch Full HD display and weighs about 1.23 kg. Both use Intel Core processor series 1. The packaging is also customized with a Disney logo, and the preinstalled wallpapers are on the Toy Story models. The free 'Hyotto' alien mascot is a first-come-first-served bonus for purchasers.
