SOLD!! to a super nice guy!
VERY RARE! The Sony U1 was never officially sold outside Japan. This is one of the smallest computers ever made with full feature Windows XP (not the crippled tablet edition), 1024x768 high resolution screen and keyboard. Only 18.5 cm X 14 cm (5.5" X 7") and weights only 0.82 kg.
(Scroll down for pictures)
I had this shipped to me straight from Japan and paid a ton of money on it plus shipping, customs and taxes. I'm only asking $650 (pretty firm) for this rare laptop (At the time of the thread, there is only one U1 on ebay for more than $900). I'd put it on ebay, but those Nigerian scams suck.
Willing to ship within Canada/US and accept Paypal at buyer's expense.
The notebook is working perfectly. Physically good as well, just some letters fading on the keyboard.
Includes everything that came in the original box. AC adaptor, battery (still holds good charge), recovery CDs, user manuals, warranty card (not filled, but think it's out of warranty already), accessories catalog, misc. user guides. And although not in the pictures, I'll include all the original packing materials as well!
For the complete JDM experience, it currently has the original copy of Japanese Windows XP Home and all the original applications installed. I've installed English XP Pro on it previously and it ran perfectly fine. If, for some strange reason, you don't like the Japanese Windows, let me know and I can work something out for you.
