Sony VAIO X505 Extreme in 2003
Product summary
The good: Beautiful design; extremely portable; above-average performance; solid software bundle.
The bad: Very expensive; terrible speakers; no built-in optical drive or modem; skimpy battery life.
The bottom line: Sony's elegant VAIO X505 is an eminently portable laptop with just enough features and performance, but like a fine work of art, it's too expensive for most people.
