Amazon.com Product Description

A perfect mix of performance and style, the slim, lightweight Sony VAIO CW laptop in red (model CW13FX/R) shows off your passion for fashion while still offering impressive mobile computing power. The glossy finish is splashed across the exterior while a gradient color on the palm rest provides the laptop with a head-to-toe color coordinated impression. And everything looks better on the ultra-bright, 14-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, which features impressive color saturation and razor-sharp detail. You’ll also appreciate the 16:9 aspect ratio that helps eliminate those annoying black bars and the anti-glare coating for easier viewing in direct sunlight.
Straddling the line between gorgeous and practical, the CW’s keyboard makes typing a pleasure. An attractive high-gloss bezel surrounds individual keys that offer a solid feel and are generously spaced apart for comfortable typing with minimal errors–even long fingernails aren’t a problem. The CW also features fast, one-touch access to the Internet without booting up the operating system–just press the “Web” button.

It’s also great for watching movies as well as making your own using the dual-layer DVD±RW drive (with CD burning capabilities) and included Sony Movie Story software–just choose the supplied template and professional-looking cutaways, cross-fades and soundtrack syncing are automatically done for you. And with the HDMI A/V output, you can connect the VAIO to a compatible HDTV to display your creations to a larger audience.

Pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (64-bit version), you’ll be able to easily create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. Windows 7 is the easiest, fastest, and most engaging version of Windows yet. Better ways to find and manage files, like Jump Lists and improved taskbar previews, help you speed through everyday tasks. Windows 7 is designed for faster and more reliable performance, so your PC just works the way you want it to. (Learn more about Windows 7 Home Premium below.)

And you can use wireless headsets for video chats and stream music to compatible speakers using the embedded Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity (featuring the A2DP music streaming profile).

A built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam (with integrated microphone) lets you join in on video conferences as well as make long-distance VoIP calls. Other features include a 320 GB hard drive, 4 GB of installed RAM (8 GB maximum), dual-layer DVD±RW drive, ExpressCard 34 slot, Fast Ethernet, both Memory Stick and SD card readers, and NVIDIA GeForce G210M graphics with 256 MB of dedicated video memory (and up to 2013 MB of memory shared with the system).
