TABOOK equivalent for Sony Vaio?

[csv96]

Is there a model chart or TABOOK equivalent for Sony Vaio's? The number of different configurations is even more complicated than IBM Thinkpads!

The person most likely to know the answer to that is Emanuel Brown, a member of the Forums and a long time member of the Thinkpad mail list.

Hey, I just spotted this, sorry for the delay. Nope, IBM's superior support really shows on matters like this - Sony has nothing like a tabook.pdf or twbook.pdf. You're right that the models can be confusing, especially since in the last couple of years they switched to using a 2-name scheme like IBM. In the way that my X30 is a 2673 series Thinkpad, my R505-TEK is a PCGA-161L. When Sony started with laptops in 1997, my 505G was just a PCGA-505G.

I'm not much for the new models, though, and haven't kept up with them - once Sony dropped the C1 picturebook series, they lost me. There are much better options out there if you aren't getting the smallest, lightest machine made.
