I came across the article about the first VAIO introduced in 1996 and had a chuckle when I read this:
In August, Sony will ship two versions of the VAIO, both of which will be aimed squarely at the high-end multimedia PC consumer market. Prices for the PCs, which will both run Windows 95, will range between $2,000 and $3,000.
The PCV-70 will feature a 166-MHz Pentium processor, 16MB of RAM, a 2.1GB hard drive, a 28.8-kbps modem, MPEG decoding capabilities, an 8X CD-ROM drive, and a software bundle that includes Internet consumer online service access software. The higher-end PCV-90 will come configured with the newly introduced 200-MHz Pentium processor, 32MB of RAM, and a 2.5GB hard drive.
In 1996 that VAIO was considered a high end model in the Sony line of computers…..so much has changed since then. I guess I am gonna laugh in 2015 reading the articles on current VAIO U, X505, V series…..
