== Overview ==
The Sony VAIO VPCS (2010) series is a mid-end mainstream laptop computer range that was released by Sony in 2010. They were designed to be average small consumer/business laptops, with a decent build quality and average specifications. 

They include first generation Intel Core processors (i3/i5), and a optional middle-class NVIDIA GeForce 310M. It does not have a switchable graphics option, so if you have the NVIDIA GPU, you cannot switch to the Intel iGPU for better battery life. 

They featured Sony's iconic cylinder design power button, and were mostly built out of plastic. Overall, it fits well into the 2010 VAIO range and has similar looks to the rest of the models released around that time.

The VPCC series run on DDR3 RAM with official support up to 8GB, though one could use two 8GB sticks to upgrade to a maximum of 16GB RAM. They shipped with Windows 7.

It came with a 5000mAh battery which supposedly lasted 5 hours on the i5 NVIDIA model.

== Daily Usage Today ==
The VPCC is still usable today for light browsing tasks and media consumption, however games will not run very well due to the integrated graphics. Windows 11 runs decently on the laptop as well, with most functions working. It is recommended to upgrade the laptop with at least a 4GB module and SSD for good performance with Windows 10 and above.

For maximum performance, it is recommended to use Linux with a lightweight desktop environment such as XFCE.
