    Just wondering if there is anything on new 14" vaios, the CRS are still sporting the older chipset, and im hoping they can make them a bit lighter and thinner.. Any rumors or news?

    Nothing yet. They just mentioned that they will refresh the CR, AR, and TZ series line-up sometime in Autumn.

    aren't the next chips meant to be unvieled in september? not sure when though.

    basically much smaller sized chips with one up to 2.53ghz i believe.

    So what do you think the odds are that the refreshed CR series could come with a dedicated graphics card option?

    If I thought there was a ghost of a chance, I'd hold off my purchase for a bit to see...wishful thinking?

    CR already have a dedicated GFX card. The latest CR laptops are fine piece of machinery, perhaps a bit too expensive, but thats VAIO.
