Storage is taken care of with a 160GB hard drive, backed by a 3-in-1 media reader and a CD/DVD player/burner, with the CR lappies also coming with an ExpressCard slot, 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth.
The machine boasts an instant-on mode and A/V controls to let punters watch movies, play music and view photos without having to boot up the operating system.

With bon mots like “street sass”, “edgy chic” and “urban feel”, and, yes, we even spotted “uber-hip” littering the press release, we think they’re aiming this new series at the beautiful people.
These new notebooks have a lustrous coating, smoothed edge, “flashy” lighting effects and come in an array of dazzling colours; “Blazing Red”, “Indigo Blue”, “Pure White” and “Luxury Pink”.

Look inside any CR series laptop and you’ll find the Intel’s fresh Centrino Pro platform with a latest-generation Core 2 Duo processor, integrated Intel GMA X3100 graphics, and 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi. The remaining components are typical for a thin-and-light laptop: a 5,400rpm hard drive, in capacities up to 200GB, and 1GB of 667MHz RAM (expandable up to 4GB). Likewise, the VAIO CR series’ ports and connections are mostly average for the category, though we appreciate the CR series’ integrated 1.3-megapixel Webcam.
Price Starting at $1,140.00 at Sony
