This evening I took out my #Vaio TZ11 to install #Haiku on it, and right away I noticed a few things, some of which I had forgotten:
The screen is damn good for the time, even if it's “only” 1366x768 the color rendition is great and the physical size a small-ish 11” which means pixel density is quite good.
Best keyboard ever in a laptop, IMO. The touchpad does not compare well with newer ones.
It's smaller than a MacBook, although not thinner than an Air, and lighter while having more ports, a SD card reader, and a combo DVD/CD-RW drive.
The spinning hard drive (I had no money for an SSD in 2007 prices) is surprisingly silent.
Haiku flies despite the rotating hard drive. The install took just a few minutes. Also: all hardware is supported except the webcam (which was painful to get working also on Linux).
