Sony debuts the VAIO CR20 and NR10 series laptops

Looking to get personal and intimate with a new laptop? Looking for a moderately powered system that comes in custom colors? Well check it out, dudes and dudettes, Sony is back on the scene with the VAIO CR20 (pictured) and NR10 series, 14.1-inch and 15.4-inch (respectively) portables that are going to quasi-rock your world. Both new systems sport an Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 2GHz CPU, coupled with the always-thrilling Santa Rosa chipset, 2GB of RAM, a 200GB hard drive, and an ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 (the CR20), or the Intel X3100 integrated graphics chip (NR10). The CR20 sports 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, plus an integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam, while the NR10 does plain-old 802.11a/b/g. Both new systems come in a variety of colors, with the CR20 offering stylish choices like "Luxury Pink," and "Sparkling Sand," while the NR10 supposedly invokes the "soft fabric which was its inspiration" by touting silver and brown color schemes. The new models will be available Autumn 2007, no word on price.

[Mark M @ Sep 13th 2007 12:52PM]

before you say its a macbook keyboard, i can assure you that sony designed that keyboard in 2004, before apple. so yes that keyboard is familiar, apple stole the design from sony.

No you iDiot, Apple copied Sony regarding the keyboard.

That's so ugly!

What is so Ugly about it?

[Ellianth @ Sep 13th 2007 2:53PM]

I don't know. It just doesn't look pretty to me. I think the ones from the article somewhere above this look much nicer. It might just be that goldish color.

Sure looks like an ugly MacBook to me.

SONY _might_ have done this keyboard before anybody else, but they put it on a compact notebook. Apple put it on a full size notebook and then sold the living shit out of them. SONY clearly was inspired by Apple when they designed this notebook, and I'm talking about the entire package - not just the keyboard.
