the VAIO PCG-505 came out in 1997! That thing was amazingly futuristic. 24mm at the thickest part, less than 3 lbs, ran linux just fine, and the battery could be swapped while in a soft sleep.

- clairity 9y agothe pcg-505 was my primary machine from 2000-2007 and i loved it! had sony not fumbled over itself, i might still be using a upgraded version of that machine, rather than the macbook pro's i've used since (i'm hoping apple doesn't have a similar implosion, but it's looking sketchy at the moment). apple didn't really surpass that machine with the air, it was the retina macbook pro's that were the next step up.
