SONY VAIO VGN-C2S REVIEW

Sony makes a novel dress change- Sony Vaio VGN-C2S

Most 'designer' notebooks tend to be diminutive the Asus U1 and Sony's personal TX Series being chief exemplars. Sony has toughed this development by jazzing up its £999 13-inch assortment, which arrives in a diversity of swanky colors.

Design
We hardened out the blue edition of the notebook which to present it its complete title is named the Sony Vaio VGN-C2S/L.CEK -- but you can in addition procure it in green or pink. You're moreover going to feel affection for or detest the vibrant blue on the exterior of this Vaio, but whatever you imagine; it's tough to get away from the sagacity that it composes the notebook feel more Fisher Price toy, than Sony. One thing that popped out during our preliminary hands-on is how tricky it was to open.

Performance
The C2's U1500 CPU and 1GB of RAM aren't accurately wonder-inspiring, and neither were its PC-Mark 2005 results. It ticked up a meager 2,855, which designates it's really only projected for day by day tasks such as surfing the Web, organizing and viewing your media compilation, and probably very little video editing. Its 3DMark 2006 gain wasn't much steal either -- it stacked up 234, which indicates it’s not competent of sprinting contemporary games.

The software wrap up is vaguely more imposing than the hardware arrangement. The C2 vessels with Windows Vista Home Premium publication, which has an assortment of applications that lets you, work out your creativity. Windows Movie Maker, Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker are 3 of the highlights. You also get Microsoft Office. Battery life wasn't appalling, though -- it preceded 3 hours 12 minutes in our tests, which is stretched enough to watch a duo of movies on a long car or plane journey. It's adequate to maintain the kids quiet if nothing else.

Conclusion
In a planet of grey, plastic boxes, Sony is to be celebrated for trying something dissimilar with this blue Vaio. Regrettably, the colorful dash arrives at a heavily built price -- specifications-wise, you could decide on something parallel on the high street for a lesser amount of this product.

Pros
+ Colorful notebook with 13.3-inch exhibit

Cons
- Makes a polite change from the black and silver model,
- It’s underpowered for the price demanded.
