Notebook Price Watch

August 3 , 2007

Notebooks seem to be going down a rainbow path. Dell started by revamping its latest Inspiron line with a choice of eight different colors (though its still based on a single chassis design across the different screen sizes). Sony soon followed suit with its new Vaio CR series, which comes in a range of five hues. At an affordable price tag of under S$2,000 (US$1,472.50), you may even be able to afford one of each color to match your wardrobe.
