Sony Vaio C1 series

The Vaio C1 PictureBook was a series of subnotebooks from Sony's Vaio lineup, branded 'PictureBook' for its webcam and video capture capabilities, a first for portable computers. PictureBooks were lightweight computers, weighing 1kg (2.2 lb). They featured 8.9" LCD displays, and were notable for being the first consumer laptop with a built-in webcam.

The original model, the PCG-C1, was first released on September 19, 1998, in Japan only, with an initial production run of 5,000 units.

Subsequent revisions were released through the early 2000's, with improved display resolution, CPU, RAM and hard drive.

The C1 PictureBook series was succeeded by several other subnotebooks and UMPCs, most notably the UX series, and perhaps a direct successor to the C1's form factor, the P series.
