Overview
The Sony VAIO VGN-N was a range of low-mid end "budget" laptops released by Sony in 2007. It was described by reviewers as "plain", due to its gray and square design. Notebookreview labelled it as a laptop "For those that like clean looks." It was the first of the budget N lineup of laptops. The VGN-N was available in 2 colour options, one was an all white design and the 2nd option had a black lid and keyboard which is pictured.
They included a reasonably sized 15.4" screen, Intel Core Duo or Celeron M (on lower end models) CPUs, a DVD reader/writer and came with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005–Windows Vista capable and later models would ship with Windows Vista Home Premium.
The N Series also featured a basic range of ports, including two USB 2.0, FireWire, ExpressCard, Memory Stick and an SD Card slot. The N series had a modest 3 hours of battery life, but just under 2 hours while watching DVDs.

Daily Usage Today
Usability is as usual with late XP/early Vista machines. Simple web browsing and text editing should be fine, though the laptop might struggle with modern websites. Animations and heavy scripts will be a big obstacle when browsing the web. Playing older games should also be fine, though modern games will struggle to even launch.
