1 Get Noticed with the VAIO CR Series A New Generation Mobile PC with Trend-setting Design, Bold Color Options and Remarkable AV Entertainment Features Hong Kong, June 11, 2007 Aiming to provide noticeable, entertaining and fun personal computers to the stylish youth who love to express themselves, the new VAIO CR Series offers five attractive color options to suit the user s personal style. Equipped with three Luminous attractions, Instant On function and a number of easy-to-operate innovative features, the CR Series delivers the coolest computing experience for users seeking to express their images through style and design. For young notebook PC users, Sony understands product design weighs equal importance as performance. The CR Series comes in five cool color coatings that enable users to make a personal statement of what they want to be. Aroma black is ideal for young business executives. Blazing red, with a contrast black in the interior, shows vibrant energy. Indigo blue in vogue, luxury pink for believers of beauty and romance, and pure white with a white interior, are all emotionally intense and reflect the user s character. For ultimate self-expression, the CR Series offers an array of wallpapers, carrying cases and mouses to complement the style of each PC. Created for consumers who love to stand out and express themselves, the VAIO CR Series is an identity PC that projects the user s wanted image, bringing individuality to a new level. Sony realizes the importance of first impression to design-conscious PC users. The body of the CR Series is decorated with three Luminous attractions. The Luminous Trim features a beautiful clutch bag design that brings out the user s professional yet hip style. Along the top surface is the Luminous Coating (except for models in aroma black), a shiny surface decorated with coloring techniques rarely used for personal computers. This characteristic adds a unique glamour to the notebook. The third Luminous, the Illumination LED, intensifies the individuality and exclusivity of the VAIO CR Series. It is a lighting pattern that responds to the user s actions. Unique illuminations are produced when the computer s AV button is pressed, AC is inserted or pulled, the computer is powered on or shutdown, in sleep mode, display off, and when the lid is open or closed. The three Luminous features provide magnificent effects, which literally transform the notebook computer s appearance and redefine the computer design. 1

2 In addition to the body design, the VAIO CR keyboard gives a fashionable touch. Keyboard letters are printed in futuristic font style to give a shiny look to what could be another dull keyboard. The keys are designed on a flat, single plate to give the keyboard a clean look. This feature is also designed to prevent long nails from being caught between key gaps. The 14.1" ( ) TFT Colour display (Clear Bright LCD Lite) is perfect for DVD playback and entertainment. Providing great picture image and color quality, the display is a great match to VAIO CR s slim, trendy design. Besides its appealing outlook, the VAIO CR Series is equipped with smart technologies for convenient usage. First, the Instant On function provides quick launch of the most popular music and multimedia programs, CD/DVD, music and photos. These programs can be launched quickly without a complete start-up. Program screen will instantly appear for file selection, catering entertainment for users in one simple step. At the same time, the notebook provides an AV button, making operation launch an easy, time-saving process. Located on the panel is a display off button that allows users to turn off the LCD with a single push while playing music. Also, located above the LCD monitor is a built-in camera of 1.3 Mega Pixel with an integrated camera capture button and new photos frames. Users can enjoy blog and video chat functions without wires and USB plugs to camera. The CR Series is built for those who enjoy active lifestyles. Having this in mind, CR Series has expanded its connectivity to allow users to fully enjoy a mobile life. Features include three USB 2.0 connectors, an i.link connector for video transfer, an s-video out connector for TV connection, and other popular features that demonstrate its expandability necessary for entertainment. The VAIO CR offers a comprehensive package of excellent features, powered by the latest Intel Centrino Duo processor technology, Mobile Intel PM965 Express Chipset and Intel Core TM 2 Duo Processor T7100 (1.80 GHz). Integrated wireless LAN connection (IEEE a/b/g), Bluetooth ver. 2.0, 2MB Advanced smart cache memory, Memory Stick slot (Standard / Duo size compatible) and SD memory card slot are also available to offer exceptional performance.
