Sony Plugs Vaio with Powerbook
Categories
Looks like Sony's ad firm isn't too familiar with the Vaio line, in fact they thought that a dude using a Powerbook would be the perfect...

Wow, I stand corrected... I suppose it's not surprising, at this low resolution, it's pretty easy to make that mistake. I also now notice they smeared the power button, but using the aforementioned source, it's pretty easy to see it's an old TiBook...

Someone dug up a link to the source image that was used, which when you zoomed in clearly revealed that it is indeed a TiBook running OS 9. They darkened the screen on this one so that you can't see what it's running as clearly.

Made me growl with brooding rage every time I walked past it. "That laptop doesn't have Athlon Inside, it's an Apple!" I occasionally yelled. "Please stop that, you scare my children." came the occasional reply. Great times.
