    Anyone know where to get a MATTE, and not Glossy Vaio CW 14 inch laptop? I have seen one in a youtube videos, and read somewhere the Matte option is available, but doesn't seem to be in Sonys site. If someone could let me know, i would really appreciate it, thanks.

    Don't know where you live, but if you live in the US, Best Buy offers a Matte version of the laptop.

    Its the one "Designed for Business" and its $899 for Core i3, GT310, Windows 7 Professional.

    Best Buy I believe carries one under business laptops but its a rip off. I think its about $900 and is only the core i3 and the GT310M might even be the lower res screen aswell. Which for the same price you can get the glossy one with the core i5 and the GT330M.

    I haven't seen this. And I looked through the selection pretty darn good. All I could find were the glossy's.

    I would link you to the page, but Best Buy links do not work on this forum.

    Try searching on "VPCCW2MGX/B" or "SKU: 9748868". The details advertise the laptop as "Matte Black Finish"

    Oh, you mean exterior finish. I thought the OP was talking about a Matte Screen.
