I know, I already have a similar #VAIO… But look, this one has custom CD and floppy drives… And even worse rubber than the previous one. 😨

Unfortunately, most modern USB floppy drives are unable to handle 720K DD disks anymore, because they're dirty and cheap. Today, I just picked up this classic SONY VAIO disk drive. It's really sleek and nice looking and can also read and write to 720K diskettes without any issues. I think this is awesome!

I know brand loyalty is unfashionable but, man, this was the future I held in my hands...
now everything is an ugly, expensive glass lozenge.

I've switched back to the #Vaio SVP13 ultrabook. The battery issues with the #ThinkPad T480 kept coming back and now the internal battery is refusing to charge.
To be honest, the T480 never felt "right" to me. I'd rather use my flimsy, significantly slower Vaio with less RAM, a dodgy battery, and a keyboard that's falling apart, but significantly better screen and speakers.
The T480 is still under warranty, so I'm going to contact the seller and take it from there.
Happily. the WiFi 6E card I bought for the T480 works in the Vaio, so at least I've got a bit of an upgrade.
Where I go next I don't know. For what I do, If I can't get a refund on the T480, I might consider spending a bit more and getting an X1 Carbon gen 9, or maybe even investing in a Framework 13.

Let's see if I'll have to steal @jdmcs 's #WheelOfRegrets…
So we have a nice #Sony #VAIO PCG-N505SN with a vinegar syndrome… I know it's curable but haven't tried yet.
Also, a part to glue back on the battery (which needs a rebuild anyway). Other than that, it should only need some cleanup.
Oh, and new rubber feet, but I'll take care of that soon. So I can send some to @thisdoesnotcomp 😉
Note the… unusual packing material on the right 😄

I've been gifted a gorgeous #Sony #VAIO PCG N505X, introduced circa July 1999, which was originally bought for over €3,000. It still works beautifully!
The lid is very bashed around, though. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean that up? Is it even possible?
I plan to swap the hard drive for a #CompactFlash card, and I'll see if I can get a new battery for the machine. It comes complete with a dinky but sturdy carry case, a port replicator, charger, CDROM drive and a functioning 10/100 PCMCIA Ethernet card.

VAIO launches a pair of 2.2 pound Intel Meteor Lake laptops with 14 inch displays
Japanese PC maker VAIO is launching its first laptops with Intel Core Ultra processors. Unfortunately the new VAIO SX14-R laptop for consumers and VAIO Pro PK-R business laptops are featuring Intel Core Ultra Series 1 processors based on last year’s Intel Meteor Lake architecture rather than the new Series 2 “Lunar Lake” chips.
Still, these new laptops pack a lot of features into compact […]

Did a #Varta leak into this poor #Sony #VAIO too?
This Sony VAIO PCG-F707 laptop is in very good condition… except maybe the clock battery hidden very deep inside. Let's have a look!

Since I was unable to find the restore media for this super cool little #Vaio, I thought I’d see if I could use some kind of solid state media to replace the HDD, but it uses this weird CF type ATA 100 interface. I couldn’t get it to play nice with any of the CF cards I have. The HDD seems to have some minor issues. I was able to backup the files to a USB drive, then CD boot Clonezilla and make a full backup of the HDD. I was able to find a new old stock of the same 40GB HDD for a good price on eBay but only make the purchase after Clonezilla was able to successfully make and verify the image. Now I sit and wait. Put the machine back together. Next time I take it apart I wanna lube the hinge, add some epoxy to some of the hinge plastics and repaste the CPU.

VAIO Vision+ 14 portable monitor weighs just 325 grams (11.5 ounces)
Portable monitors come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and capabilities these days. You can find models with dual screens, ePaper displays, touchscreens, and all sorts of other features.
But while it’s nice to have plenty of options when looking for a second screen for your laptop, tablet, phone, or game console, that’s still one more thing to carry […]
