by Erik Anderson

Open-1

The Sony Vaio CW is one of a few notebooks released this year featuring the new Intel Core processor series. It competes with Dell’s Inspiron 14, HP’s Pavilion dv4i, Toshiba’s Satellite E205 (Toshiba only available at Best Buy), and Lenovo’s not-yet-released IdeaPad Y460 in the 14-inch-display and around 5-pounds category.
