    Any one can rationally explain this?

    Why are the CRs much cheaper than the FZs and the SZs?

    I compared the prices of 2 similarly configured CR(CR35s) and FZ(FZ35s) and found that the FZ is priced 10000 baht(about 330US) more than the CR.

    Their Specs:

    1 CR35s T8100, 2gb, 200gb HDD , ATI HD2300 with 128mb GDDR3, Intel 4965 AGN wireless, 42900baht.

    2 FZ 35s T8100, 2gb, 200gb HDD , NV8400M GT with 256 GDDR3, intel 4965 AGN wireless, 49900baht.

    Just for the sake of the comparison, the Nvidia 8400 GT is a more powerful card than the ATI 2300.

    My dad has a CR, it's got some heft to it, might also be a part of the reason, lighter = more expensive

    Are you serious? I always thought the CR is very small and light although I never seen it in my life.

    nope, the CR is actually quite large and heavy for it's screen size; and yeah, they use different screens; it's intended as a budget computer
