(Machine, Japan)

A Sony Vaio laptop from Orion that I used while I worked for them. A nice little machine, and with quite decent resolution for the time (I think 1200x1600 or so - this was before the world went widescreen). The sound was great, considering the size of the speakers, but when you plug in the subwoofer - a 2" add-on speaker that would go in the right slot - it was almost great, couldn't believe you can hear that much from sound equipment that would fit a shirt pocket.

The right slot could also take a 3,5" floppy (didn't even try), or a numeric keyboard (used that whenever I had to spend more than 30 minutes at a time with it).

Wasn't too heavy, the keyboard was fine, all good. Amazingly, it had a DVD burner, which I did use perhaps a dozen times. Seems I didn't cross the treshhold (yeah, hh) of Sony's optical drives, because it still worked fine when I returned it. Anything else from Sony that had an optical drive was bad - the 3 CD carousel back home, the mp3 player, the 200$ DVD burner in zmajček - each of them would last a year or two and then break.
