Low end FJ

Sony released a low end edition of FJ series. This was much cheaper and available from US$800, but it didn't include a built in camera, and used Intel Celeron (1.60 GHz) processor instead of the more powerful Centrino CPU (1.90 or 2.33 GHz). It also included a 60GB hard drive instead of the usual 100GB. This model sold well in the Asian market.
