As one of the premium laptop labels, Sony notebooks can hardly be considered cheap though they are well-known for having one of the most stylish designs in the market. The VAIO CR series, however, attempts to target the budget-conscious crowd while still maintaining its aesthetic appeal, though compromises were made in terms of weight.

Specs;

Intel Core 2 Duo T8100-2.10ghz
2GB DDR Memory
250GB Harddisk Drive
DVDRW Drive
14.1” WXGA LCD
Win Vista Home Premium
ATI Radeon X2300
Wlan w/Btooth
Built-in Card Reader

Thanks to its 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo processor and discrete 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 graphics, we expect the machine to perform well even with the full Aero Desktop experience enabled in the Windows Vista Home Premium operating system. The unit also has an 802.11a/b/g/n radio along with Bluetooth to cover wireless connectivity. Despite this, Sony claims that the VAIO has an uptime of up to 4 hours on the standard cell. An optional extended battery is also available to boost it up to 6.5 hours of unplugged time, though you will have to pay additional for that. The price is about Php 79,999.xx.
