The notebook is equipped with a 14.1-inch widescreen display, matched with an optional Blu-ray drive. A built-in A/V slide control also lets you control all functions (play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, stop, eject etc.).

The Sony Vaio CS is packed with a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 processor, 4GB RAM and a 320GB hard drive. It also offers a uniquely configured keyboard, designed with spacing between the keys, for a more comfortable typing experience.
