This Sony Notebook was NEVER Meant to Leave California!

I randomly bought a USA version of the UX58 prototype; it even got a handwritten serial number sticker. and same as yours, the model number is PCG-XXXXX. First time saw this unusual model number I didn't even realized it's a prototype machine, and the seller seems not knowing at all. he told me this computer is a component of a lab test equipment.

the cool part about the atheros wifi card, is that there is open source drivers available for it in linux

5:18 I wonder if this was some sort of ill thought out "instant on" feature that a lot of dells had around this time.being near the disc drive leads me to believe this, maybe it was some sort of media player for the DVD drive . it could also be some early form of TPM but I doubt it.

[@JessicaFEREM]

I mean thinking back about it sony was probably right to ditch the optical media company, but in the same vein they could've made their own BD drives for the playstation.

Pretty sure that disk drive just got swapped during a repair with some generic one that happened to be from Panasonic... screw a Samsung HDD in there while you're at it.

a notebook is just another word for laptop, sony chose it over laptop but its the same thing

I'm pretty sure the Canadian flag you used has a marijuana leaf on it, not a maple leaf. I find it funny, but just thought you should know.

I was gong to mention something about the Canadian flag at the beginning there, but meh
