Overview
The first revision of the Sony VAIO PCG-C1 was released in August 1998 with the last model of the range being released in Spring 1999. The PCG-C1 was first released on September 19, 1998, in Japan only, with an initial production run of 5,000 units. It was the first laptop with a webcam, thus branded as the “PictureBook”, which rotates 180 degrees so that you could take pictures with it. There is a "capture" button located above the keyboard on the right which is optimal for taking pictures outside, without using the keyboard. It came with some bundled software such as the Camera Capture Utility which allowed for taking pictures easily and adding effects to the camera. A video demonstration will be shown soon in the resources section.
The laptop came bundled with a charger, a cd-rob drive, floppy drive and some more extra accessories. There were also some optional accessories such as ______?
It came in 5 different revisions which all had a single mono speaker. The interior of this laptop (the motherboard) is virtually the same as the PCG-505.
