Up for auction is one Sony VAIO
Picturebook Micro Computer. It is basically a very small
laptop/notebook computer which is a little bit larger than a
palmtop, however has full laptop/notebook functionality (in
terms of hardware and software). You are bidding on everything
that is in the photograph which includes:
- VAIO Picturebook
- VAIO Picturebook Floppy Disk
Drive

Converter Pack
- VAIO Picturebook Users Guide

desktop monitor)

The bottom of the computer has removal screw-flaps for
upgrade of memory and hard disk drive, and the top of the
computer has various indicator lights and the usual features
e.g. keyboard, mouse, LCD screen etc.
The specifications of the computer are:
- Pentium II 450MHz (last of the “series
2” P2 CPUs with the updated Deuchutes core, similar to early
P3 CPUs)
- 128MB Memory (optimal/maximal amount for
Windows 98SE and good for Windows 2000)
- 13.6GB ATA Hard Disk Drive (lots of
space for programs, music, data, OS, etc but not new
games)
- 8.5” compact LCD screen (bright and
sharp, no dead pixels, very clear)
- 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive,
External
- 56K V.90 Modem, Internal PCMCIA
Card
This system is very portable and very useful because of its
specifications. I has more than enough “power” to run Windows
98SE or Windows 2000 and most programs e.g. internet,
office-work, graphics, audio etc. It has plenty of space for
most things except for modern games (which eat hard disk
space). It currently has the OS and all drivers loaded and has
more than 10GB of space free. If required I can supply an
external USB CDROM drive (compact style) for an extra $55 with
the computer. I could also upgrade (upgrade, not reload) the
W98SE to W2000Pro if required. All components are in very good
condition in terms of physical- and functional- condition.
