Sony Vaio VGN-C2M/W

By katsuya (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Good quality(especially screen, whole design). Value for money though this is VAIO with vista

Performance. Sometimes it's little bit overcapacity to use vista because memory is 1024MB

The C2 is more affordable than many Vaio laptops and comes in a range of funky colours, but don't expect much for your \u00a31,000

Sony Vaio VGN-C2M/W review

By tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com)

With its distinctive white and silver design, the Sony VAIO VGN-C2M/W (£591 inc. VAT) immediately stands out from the crowd. Delivering high performance and strong usability, there's plenty to like about this stylish laptop

Good screen ; Bluetooth included ; Portable, with good battery life
