Sony VAIO PictureBook Millennium Edition

The only time this model shown in media i know was Kenny's in Beyblade anime

One quick note; Windows 2000 is released in Feb 2000, and Windows Millennium Edition in Sept 2000...

Best ad ever

Why did you pronounce vaio the way you did? I mean the ad tells you how to say it. Same with americans saying nokia. Not having a dig, just genuinely curious why?

The speed of innovation frim 2000 to 2023 is seriously insane. From 1900 the growth was not visible. I believe, the growth of next 30 yrs will be like leaving on Earth will be in history chapter for next generation

Your videos are quite interesting but I noticed that you are half whispering while talking.

Are you... afraid someone might hear you?

:D

Windows 2000 came in 1999. the general avalability was in 2000. Windows Me camed in 2000

Dat ad 💀

Vaio's designs were ahead of their time, Windows Millenium is the worst nightmare I've ever been in

You should have used an IDE to MSATA adapter.

Had one loved it want one need one

A weekend plan for my exact same model was to keep the case and fill it with some raspberry system with the secret hope to re-use the ultrawide display. But man, you made me reconsider things. Please keep on digging on the linux route and keep posting! BTW I have the original install cds if needed.

Contrary to popular belief, this laptop was not made for millennials but for gen x.

6.7' wide,

do you also learn sony language ????????? Sir

back when MINI-VGA was a thing^^.

first time ever hearing these two words together

That old ad was wild

Não conhecia. Bela máquina!

Never understood placement of ports. The AC will be used a lot, why have it on the place where people would use their external mouse?

ENT finale, nicely done

I want something like this but with modern hardware.
Too bad netbooks had died.

loved the desktop themes on these. loved this era of Sony when they really tried to make great laptops the PCG-XG series was another great example

many were all Japanese made really great laptops media\business class examples of the era cutting in between Compaq\IBM

its 18.5:9

Can i install os on it using usb?, i have vaio picture book pcg c1mt but i don't have the CD Rom

Late to the comments, but: Finally we can do a subspace scan AND a molecular analysis simultaneously! How often did I miss something in the subspace while doing my molecular work - no more!

The true miniture thinkpad

I really like your videos.. that ad though from the 90s... didn't age well 😅😅

vaio 2000 me edition

great

I love only vaio P

Ayo The ad is wild

Just a little tip (yes I know the video was three years ago) but a spinning disk from the end of the IDE drive era will outperform a no-name uSD card in a chinese ide->SD adapter.. would be a "better experience".

I wasn't expecting this very small machine to mount a 2.5" but one of those notoriously slow 1.8" ones (yes, the Libretto did that first, but, whatever). Not sure if that would have been the main performance bottleneck on a TM Crusoe machine, though.

17.20 It is NOT complaining, since the caption says the CD contains a NEWER version of Windows. W2000 is of course older, but the installer is either taking the Service Pack release date into account or is coded to encourage Windows 2000 adoption, since it was a more expensive OS.

I’ve just bought a PCG-C1VE although I think I’ll keep Me on it. I did wonder whether to attempt to install Linux on it somehow.

It’s a lovely looking machine, I mainly bought it because of its Crusoe CPU which I find very interesting.

The plug is CN100 and the PCMCIA slot is CN1200, room for extra IO expansions?.

Sony ALWAYS loved cinematic aspect ratio. That's why I still have Sony mobiles. Great video!

It's quite impressive that they managed to fit what looks like a regular 2.5" laptop hard drive in it. I have a Dell Latitude D420 and even though it is a lot larger than this at 12", it uses a 1.8" hard drive.

i would love a modern pocket pc these days

Just a heads up I would remove that cmos battery if it's dead because those kind tend to leak and kill motherboards.

Your videos are really good. I do enjoy them! 3 years later, they are supreme!

Was wondering if there is a place to find a replacement battery for one of these laptops, if anyone knows please let me know!

this was so cool back in the days. I'll definitely want one if they build with latest specs!

This laptop has almost the exact same disassembly process as my Asus Eee PC from 2011. Kind of crazy.

adapter in adapter in adapter 🤣
