Sony’s laptop event is underway, but we’ve got early pages detailing the new VAIO CW. Let’s just say it’s much more… reasonable than the VAIO X, packing up to a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with NVIDIA GeForce GT230M or GT210M graphics under a 14-inch screen, all starting at $799. It’s also a pretty chunky little thing, measuring 1.52 inches thick at the back hinge and weighing in at 5.3 pounds — but that means there’s room for a Blu-ray drive and both VGA and HDMI outputs, so you know, there’s just more of it to love.
