VAIO CW: Your Kid’s Dream First Laptop

Looking for a good first laptop for your teen?  Sony’s VAIO CW meets every kid’s basic Web needs and need for street cred.

Exams are over. Your teen (or pre-teen) has achieved fairly good grades. Christmas is around the corner, and she’s asking you for… a laptop, of course!

Parental guidance and web safety concerns aside (another topic that Nanz Inc will definitely discuss another day), a laptop for your child is a good gift. Most schools are already posting homework online for kids to do during school holidays or PSLE-marking days, so it’s not like you will be very successful in keeping your children off the Internet till they are 18.

The new Sony VAIO CW is an extremely desirable first laptop with pretty incredible specifications for a starter model. It runs on an Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor (2.53GHz), which means power. Plus it offers NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M GPU and 512MB of VRAM on a 14-inch screen. Sony calls it powerful and playful and it is: online gaming on this laptop is an experience — dynamic images on a14-inch screen and 16:9 display. The CW also has a built-in HDMI output, so your kid (or you) can connect it to your large screen TV and watch movies together.

Your child will enjoy the Media Gallery (VAIO’s original media player software) – she can handle photos, video and music all at one go. Single-button functions are a great bonus: the WEB button lets her connect to the Internet without booting up Windows, and the DISPLAY OFF button lets her use the CW as a music player. Going overseas? Your offspring can chat with you using the built-in camera and Magic-i software.

Of course, to your young one, looks are everything, and Sony has made the CW virtually irresistible with a super shiny exterior and a choice of funky colours: white: pink, red, indigo and black — and it comes with a colour-coordinated carrying case too.

Convinced yet?

The CW model described above is the VPC-CW16FG which retails at S$1,999 at Sony Style stores. – BROUGHT TO YOU BY INTEL & SONY
