Intricate painting process
Available in Sangria, Cosmopolitan, Dove, and Indigo, the VAIO CR notebook's line of lustrous coats and exquisite color shades are the result of a painstaking paint-blending and application process.
Like the finish of a luxury sports car, multiple layers of paint are meticulously applied to the chassis of the notebook, which is then buffed and dried to get that "just right" shade and beautiful luster. Each color is framed by an iconic silver luminous trim, a luxurious characteristic that makes the paint coating pop - especially when the notebook is closed.

With such a uniquely colored notebook, you’re going to need some matching accessories. To make the look complete, each VAIO® CR notebook comes with its own funky VAIO branded wallpaper and optional matching carrying bag and mouse.
