DesignTechnica review of the world’s skinniest laptop, the new Vaio PCG-X505, which weighs a mere 785 grams and is just 9.7mm thick:
The Sony X505 pushes the envelope when it comes to sub-notebook design and innovation. Almost everything is unique in one way or another and Sony tops it off by adding the elegance and detail that we have only seen from companies such as Apple. The included optical mouse adds a nice touch by offering a memory stick reader, and the packaging that the X505 comes in is very stylish and retro. Using the X505 in a public place such as a coffeehouse or on public transportation, you ll notice a lot of glances. Whether they are looking at the elegant little powerhouse in front of you or the big grin on your face while using it, you will be noticed it s just that special. The Sony X505 is an extreme system that will appeal to those wanting the bleeding edge in design and innovation.
We still haven’t heard whether Sony plans to sell the X505 anywhere outside of Japan, and right now the only way to get it here in the US is through retailers who specialize in importing Japanese electronics.
