The Sony VAIO FZ "Graphic Splash Eco Edition" laptops come with nature-themed outer shells, but that environmental motif isn't just case-deep. Sony is teaming up with the 1% For The Planet fund, so 1% of the net Eco Edition VAIO sales will go to environmentally conscious organizations who will pick up the slack for the rest of us. The VAIOs come in color choices of (from left to right) Bloom, Clay Earth, Caribbean Water and Spotted Life.

Each Eco Edition laptop will function much like its FZ forerunners with a 15.4-inch screen, 200 GB hard disk and Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT, though you'll also have an option for a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo — a more powerful option than Sony has offered previously in its 15.4 inch line. Expect to see the special editions Sony VAIO FZ on November 27th, starting at around $1,300. — Kevin Hall
