Expert review by:

Sony VAIO PCG-C1VE

 

A marvel of miniaturisation with better battery life than previous C1 models, although the jury remains out on the performance of the Crusoe processor.

Compact dimensions and low weight ; built-in CCD camera ; Memory Stick slot ; improved software bundle ; 2.5-hour battery life

External floppy and CD-RW drives are optional rather than standard ; modem is on a PC Card rather than built-in
