Design We've already paid some attention to design, but let's dig deeper. Since the X505 is so slim and small (it measures 10.2" wide x 8.2" deep), there is no internal optical drive. You'll need to buy your own USB or FireWire external CD or DVD drive. There is no wrist rest or trackpad because the hard drive, motherboard and PCMCIA mechanism occupy the area above the keyboard. The keyboard is located at the front edge of the unit rather than being set back toward the display as with most other notebooks.

In fact, the motherboard, located in the center of the area above the keyboard, measures ~ 3" x 3"! There is a trackpoint nestled in the keyboard since there's no room for a trackpad and Sony includes a USB mouse that doubles as a Memory Stick reader since there's also no room for the usual Memory Stick slot found on other Vaio notebooks. |
