The CR range comes in red, blue, pink and white, and features a 1.3-megapixel camera built into the front of the screen, like the Apple MacBook. These laptops have Intel Centrino Duo chips, up to 200GB hard disks, 2GB RAM, a DVD-RW drive, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2300 graphics and integrated WAN connectivity.
They're very solid laptops and are fairly lightweight at just 1.2kg. Like all the new Vaios, the CR series is geared up for use with all your media, and comes pre-loaded with Adobe Photoshop Elements to boot. Prices are just under £1,000 and they offer good performance for the money.
