Shattering misconceptions that crocodiles only come in various shades of dark, menacing green, Sony has managed to genetically engineer crocs in girly pink, luscious red, and chocolaty brown colors exclusively for the sake of wrapping its CS series VAIO notebooks in organic texture. Mind you, textures are all those crocs sacrificed, as like the company’s earlier Crocodile-themed machines these lappys are still made entirely of plastic and bits of silicon — just grooved and pigmented to look like prehistoric, genetically modified reptiles (check out the detail pic after the break). The crocette devices, which are otherwise identical internally to those sporting myriad of other hues, hit Japan on the 18th for ¥104,800 (just over $1,000), and while Sony hasn’t announced any plans for an international release, we’re thinking if you head on down to Florida you could find yourself a good ‘ol boy who could whip up one of these in no time and make a rib-stickin’ stew with the remains.
