Ah, another addition to the 'Sony computers I'd love to buy just to look at' list, the Sony Vaio VPC P11 ALJ. I love how it looks like a purse when it's folded up.

There is something both sad and maddening that most of the cool Vaio models both back then and now cost a nice chunk of change.

But they have the same hardware of netbooks that costs 10% of the price

Like, of course they are rare, for 1k€ what are you gonna buy: a MacBook Air, a normal Windows laptop, or a sub notebook with an Atom CPU

Thinking about selling my Sony Vaio laptop...
It was my first laptop, but it's grown really just out of use for me. It's quite heavy, it doesn't have much benefit in terms of ports or software, the hardware is really out of date for my uses ( The GPU was basically out of date when I bought it 💀 )

It has a FireWire and Sony MagicGate port, but....

My x230 has an Expressport slot. I have a FireWire PCI-E addon card. And generally I only need firewire for DV tape capture (which is very rare for me to do anyway)

And the MagicGate port is only for Memory Stick and Duo cards, which I mean were really only used for older hardware too... but I have a really nice multi-port USB 3.0 device for reading MS/Duo cards...

Also the power port is LITERALLY the most frustrating I've used. I've replaced it three times now:

I managed to find a replacement for the keyboard on Aliexpress as well (amazingly, last one, EN-US) as some of the keys stopped working following water spilling on the laptop + a year of storage making it work again somehow.

It's probably been close to a year ish of not having used this laptop... but... it feels almost wrong to sell it. it was my first laptop!

Actually honestly this was a mistake to spend as much as I did on this NEW when I bought it so many years ago. Sigh. I doubt anyone would want to buy it even! :(

There was a model variant with a blu-ray drive available, which I HAVE found listings on ebay for the bare drive, but it's close to $100 ish.

Imagine it's the year 2000, and you've just unboxed your brand-new VAIO computer. Which game would you choose to play first? Probably something like Command & Conquer, Dungeon Keeper or Theme Hospital!
