    I am not real familiar with either of these, but besides the screen are there a lot of other differences between these two models?

    CR series- older processor, only integrated graphics
    FW series- Montevina processors (new), option for integrated or dedicated graphics, more ports

    Overall, the FW series is a lot better. Besides the main differences listed above, the FW series has better display quality, better speakers and better overall performance. Trust me, I have seen both notebooks in person.

    I hope this helps!
