    Hey ages ago I was looking at the Sony Vaio CR series as they just look amazing, but the reason I decided against having one was they didn't have the performance of laptops in the same price range and they also didn't have biometric readers... well up until now (I think)!!
    I was looking on the internet and just out of curiosity I went on Sony's website and in a picture of a CR Series laptop it looked like it had a biometric fingerprint reader, I soon hurried onto the specifications tab and it wasn't listed there!
    A little light research on the internet led me to believe the 'black' cr series come equipped with the fingerprint reader!!
    Whoop Whoop (I thought)
    Grinning from ear to ear I go back onto Sony's website to look for the black series cr laptop, but I cant find it anywhere!
    Have I made a mistake or just mis-interpreted something?

    BTW I live in the UK, could that be the reason why I can't seem to find it?

    One CR model that I know comes with a finger printer reader is the CR390, but as you said it is not available through Sony just their vendors. There's quite a bit of stores that offer it however their US only shipping. If I find one that does ship to the UK I'll post back.
