Given that it came out in 2003 and now we are writing 2010 it is hard to believe that in todays fast paced technological development environment the x505 is still as competent and most in it’s class!
It is not only that but that in a body of a goddess:)
I mean there has not been a piece of silicon placed in any better home than in the x505!
THis thing is slimmer in profile that the macbook air, lighter and more elegant and was the first laptop ever to made out of premium carbon fiber and ever to be implementing a 10 layered integrated motherboard.
It was the computer that NASA took to space and used for some communication purposes.
THe list goes on and on….
Basically the new VAio X does not follow in achievement compared with the X505.
It is the mobile computer that marked a departure to a new era of computing whatever that might be, certainly in many ways a contemporary to the idea of the Ipad.
It was great for browsing the web, just like the Ipad, it was just as light (if not lighter), it has comparable processing power, it is made out of premium materials. (maybe in terms of battery life and touchscreen fun it’s not on par), otherwise a device nearly a decade the predeccessor of the Ipad still RULES!
Congrats X505 team! Long live the Vaio X505 ( you should be placed in the museum of modern art and technology)!
Cheers all the lovers of this great device 
If you have one, just dont sell! that is EVER:)
