Laptop Club

I've seen my share of pink laptops, but nothing epitomizes "pretty in pink" like the Sony VAIO VGN-CS190 that I reviewed. Clearly it's aimed at those who can't get enough of the color. (Luckily, it also comes in red, white, and black versions.) Although its drop-dead-gorgeous design is its focal point, the CS190 is also highly configurable. You can dress it up with the best parts and pay a hefty price, or budget yourself and still get a Blu-ray-equipped laptop for around $1,200, as is the case with this review unit.
