After introducing most of the new models, Sony has finally decided to update their small C line laptops to the current “R” model revision. These are basically the Sony equivalent to the Apple Macbook line, in terms of size and specifications.
As for the specifications:
* Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 @ 1.8 Ghz, 2MB Cache L2, Frontside Bus 800 MHz
* Chipset: Mobile Intel GM965 Express
