For those of us who prefer our martinis shaken, not stirred, Sony’s Q Division is now offering a range of “gadgets” designed around the James Bond motif.

The VGN-TXN007 James Bond 007 TX Spy Gear bundle will provide all the tools you need on your next mission. This limited edition, 007 Bond-branded kit includes a lightweight VAIO® TX notebook PC, a privacy screen and Cyber-shot® digital camera. All of these exclusive items are packaged inside a sophisticated aluminum attaché case. In addition to these handy gadgets, you’ll receive an exclusive welcome letter, and a serialized glass photo certificate that corresponds with your new Sony VAIO® notebook.

James Bond 007 TX Spy Gear bundle includes:

VAIO® TX Ultra Portable PC (VGN-TXN17P7)
A must-have for double agents, the VAIO® TX makes an impression while getting the job done. Weighing only 2.76 lbs4 with standard battery and measuring less than 1” thin5, this ultra-portable, durable PC is designed for life on-the-go.

Cyber-shot® Digital Camera (DSC-T50/JB)
Channel your inner spy as you capture spectacular photos—even in low light without a flash—with the ultra-compact Cyber-shot® DSC-T50/JB. This slim and sexy camera features a 3″ touch panel, 7.2 megapixels and 3x optical zoom.

Sony Display Privacy Filter (VGP-FL11)
Work on confidential documents in public without worrying about onlookers. This privacy screen makes on-screen data visible only to the persons in front of the PC.

Aluminum Attaché Carrying Case
Originally home to a folding sniper rifle and ammo, the Sony version of the Bond attaché case contains custom foam cutouts that provide a snug-fitting, secure home for your non-lethal precious cargo. The attaché is constructed of black aluminum and features an embossed 007 Gun Logo.

Ultra-Portable and Durable
The luxuriously sleek and ultra-portable VAIO® VGN-TXN17P7 notebook boasts an incredibly small and lightweight form-factor encased in super-durable carbon fiber. This best-in-class PC weighs only 2.84 lbs5, is less than 1” thin3, and features an incredible 5-11 hours of battery life8.

Essential Mobile Wireless Companion
True mobility is as much about broad access, as it is a slim, lightweight design. The VAIO TX notebook takes access farther than ever before with integrated wireless Wide Area Network (WAN)14 technology. Access the Sprint® Mobile Broadband high-speed service to extend your wireless coverage beyond LAN access networks4 and hotspots. The VGN-TXN17P7 gives you the freedom to go farther, do more and stay connected.

Brilliant Display
The VGN-TXN17P7 notebook features a generous 11.1″ WXGA widescreen display12 with XBRITEâ„¢ LCD technology and white LED backlight for higher brightness levels than standard displays. The result is deeper blacks, brighter whites, true-to-life color and razor-sharp detail. Since this notebook comes with anti-reflective coating to minimize reflection, you can enjoy a beautifully clear image from almost any viewing angle.

DVD Creation
Create, edit and burn your own DVDs with high-quality tools like Click to DVD® software and the advanced DVD+R Double Layer/DVD±RW drive2.

SmartWiâ„¢ Technology
Sony’s original SmartWi™ technology seamlessly integrates wireless WAN14, wireless LAN4, and Bluetooth®5 technologies by allowing you to quickly and easily toggle between these advanced wireless connectivity options.

But honestly, let’s not kid ourselves here, people. From what we can see, the Sony 007 Spy Gear Bundle includes some rather standard fare, emblazoned with the 007 logo: the 007 Vaio TX notebook (a Vaio UX option is also available), with (007 Privacy Screen, to boot!) the 007 Cybershot DSC-T50 Digital Camera, and the 007 Micro Vault, all apparently for $3,899, although it’s not quite clear whether that price is for the notebook itself, or for the “Spy Gear” bundle as a whole.
