Sony’s new Vaio PCG-QR1BP laptop comes in funky dark blue/black enclosure with a white trim border and ships with a built-in handle. According to one reader:

Built-in handle, fairly solid feel, I kind of like it, but another person I met in Akihabara said it reminded him of something Fisher-Price.
