When it comes to styling the only thing that comes close to a Mac is the Sony Vaio which is over 10 years old now. To commemorate the 10th anniversary Sony has set up a small exhibition of past Vaio models at its posh Ginza headquarters in Tokyo.
The Vaio 505 (Pictured above) was the first notebook by Sony introduced in November 1997. The Intel Inside MMX logo does bring back old memories.

The PCV-T desktop which went on sale in July 1997.

The PCV-M introduced in March 97 was more of a multimedia powerhouse with a CD changer and MD (Mini disc) slot.

The C1 Mini notebook introduced in May 1998 was the first to incorporate a webcam. The C1 was on my wishlist for quite some time and was the coolest looking notebook back then.
