Summary

The Sony Vaio VGN-C Series was released in 2006 as a mid-range Notebook. Its marketsegment slightly overlaps with the more expensive VGN-SZ due to its similar size and hardware. Though the VGN-C differentiats itself due to a cheaper plasic case and less powerful hardware.

Despite having a plastic case, the VGN-C still manages to feel like a quality device. Compared to Sonys other offerings of the time the Vaio VGN-C sports a selection of colorful cases. Such as ones with either green or orange trim, as well as the option to have the "Free Spirit Pink" Design, which gives the Laptop an almost completely bright pink paintjob, which slightly darker pink trim around the trackpad and trackpadbuttons. The black bottom of the case and keyboard form a nice contrast to the case, making the laptop quite pleasant to look at, despite its bright pink design.

In comparison to the VGN-SZ the VGN-C focuses more on casual instead of business/professional use. This is evidenced by missing features such as a Webcam and WWAN. But with connectivity such as two USB 2.0 ports on the left side, a DVD-RW Drive, 4-pin i.Link Firewwire, S-Video Out connector, ExpressCard™34 x 1, RJ45 Ethernet, RJ11 Modem, Headphone Jack, Microphone Jack, VGA Video-Out port and a Memory Stick Slot, its still very capable. The laptop measures at around 329.6cm x 23.5cm x 3,7cm with a weight from around 2,3 to 3kg, depending on the equipped optional hardware.
