Sony "Bionote 505 Extreme"

Intense thinness that can not be exceeded even now

　Bionote 505 Extreme was announced on November 12, 2003.This product, which can be said to be a direct system of the B5 mobile "Bionote 505", is almost the same footprint as the bionort 505, but the thickness is 9..It was the thinnest/lightest mobile note in the world at the time, with 7 to 21 mm and weight to 825g.

　The 21mm of the thickest part is also a regulation of Ultrabook set by Intel in 2011.In that sense, Bionote 505 Extreme created the current thin mobile note de facto standard (although it was Apple's MacBook Air that brought the ULTRABOOK to be thin in the popularity of the mobile PC industry.There is no objection).That said, Sharp was the thickest part at that time..The 6mm "MURAMASA" series was released, so it would not be surprising if it was surprisingly thin.

　However, the notable point of this product is that it achieved the thinnest in the world at the time..It is the thinnest part of 7mm.Of course, some readers say, "No, MacBook Air is 3mm."However, as you can see from the photos, if you actually put it on the desk, it is as thin as MacBook Air.The 3mm MacBook Air is only brought with wedge -shaped design, and it expands as you go to the center.On the other hand, the bio -notes 505 Extreme is almost a straight line and pursues as much as possible as much as possible.

　In addition, the tip of the MacBook Air is in the shape of a <", whereas the bioonote 505 is" σ ".This shape is designed to open the liquid crystal, which is also a practical design, but this design philosophy is also one of the reasons that is not as thin as MacBook Air.。

　However, the LCD display part is the most "loss" of the bi -notes 505 extra.At present, it is no exaggeration to say that the MacBook Air has also been reduced by LED backlighting LCD panels.Bionote 505 Extreme was born in modern times, and using modern display technology should have achieved more amazing thinness.

　For that reason, the impact of thinness when the liquid crystal is opened on the desk is more intense than the state where the liquid crystal is closed.This is definitely thinner than the MacBook Air.It is connected to the desk and seamlessly in the form below σ, which gives a visually thin impression, but it says, "The keyboard is embedded in the desk, which is slightly floating."I even remember the impression.

　The visible surface that is visible when opened also enhances the sense of unity when placed on a dark wood -grained desk.The amber -colored battery prepared in the foreground and the LED of the HDD are also different from the blue LED that claims to be "moving !!"Bionote 505 Extreme is beautiful even if it is closed, but I think it is the most beautiful when it is open.

　A design with a cylinder -shaped battery and hinge, and a VAIO logo on the bottom ...Bionote 505 Extreme boasts a design suitable for PCs used by executive.
