Sony Releases Laptops For Classy Cheapskates

Cheap and pretty—two words that you almost never see or hear together. It’s an unlikely combination we’ll get in the VAIO NR series, a line of low-end laptops from Sony. They’re so low-end that the Japanese company says that they’re the cheapest laptops they’ve ever made, but that doesn’t mean they look shabby though. Far from it, actually, because these notebooks have a textured finish that makes them look classy.

Sony goes for the low end with its VAIO NR Series, and even though the company says these are the cheapest laptops it’s ever rolled out, they’re still graced with a unique textured finish that we haven’t seen on a notebook before. Sony’s not skimping on screen size, with a 15.4-inch display, but the company’s holding out on us with screen resolution, with the NR’s widescreen showing a myopic 1280 x 800 rez. The more expensive models in this cheap line even include Intel Core 2 Duo processors inside. Besides that lower price, these laptops have even more crispy goodness going for them.

Expect these models to be available at $800 USD next month.
