Styling a computer is no simple task. Finding exactly how to fit all the complex parts that make a computer hum with life inside a sexy form factor can prove difficult, and, evidently to Sony it is.
With Sony’s latest line of VAIO Type C notebooks, they’ve given in to a high school girl’s daydreams and clad the chassis with a crocodile skin-like surface. Now, while it does look an awful lot like legitimate crocodile, it’s all a rouse – the surface is grooved and pigmented plastic and silicon, rather than covered in genetically modified croc skin.
These notebooks are currently available in Japan with no plans for international release (thank goodness), and running consumers there ¥104,800 (or, a bit more than $1000).

"Now, while it does look an awful lot like legitimate crocodile, it’s all a rouse" What the hell does this mean? Aroused? Some kind of circumcised or foreshortened grouse? Japanese accent for louse (ewww, louse skin!)? Can't mean "to wake up"....

Honestly, this style of laptop from Sony isn't all that new. When I sold computers in a retail store, we carried similar ones that came in all sorts of colors (although, pink DID sell the best.... even to guys).
