Sold - Vintage Sony Vaio PCG-FX Laptop PC - £50

For sale - Sony Vaio laptop PC - £50

It hasn't seen active service in the last decade, but fired up immediately without issue and has continued to run on soak test reliably. The only hardware issue to report is that the battery has lost the ability to hold charge, which is unsurprising given the unit's age.

As with the other ex corporate laptops currently for sale, it has been cased it's entire life and used relatively little compared to a personal item, it is still in excellent condition.

With such a wide variety of ports and drives it could be a useful media hub for a vintage computer fan. The Firewire port could also be used with an external capture card to record retro computer game console action.

It is priced at £49, the price even includes delivery within the UK. I can send to some European locations too, but please ask for a quote first as this could be quite a high sum.
