Sony Vaio isn't a sponsor, per se. The film is made by Sony. I know first-hand that any footage or marketing of a Sony film that includes any gadgets other than Sony (Vaio computer, Ericsson phone, etc) is not permitted. Like, "completely redo your CGI immediately" not-permitted.

That's pretty damn smart. Thought I did see a (very long and rather dumb) Sony VAIO commercial featuring Bond recently, so this one is technically a tie-in.
