    Anybody know if there are any models of the Sony Vaio C-Series laptop floating out there that come with an nVidia Geoforce graphics card in them? I noticed the customizable version on sonystyle.com don't have that option.

    I like the look and feel of it, but am wondering if a graphics card is an option somewhere?

    Europe and Asia have the option of a Geforce 7400 but in North America, your stuck with the GMA 950.

    Sure, but the current Cs in North America are stuck with integrated graphics.

    Maybe it is because the price of a Vaio in the U.S. is generally lower than the price in a lot of other countries....
