Retro Tech ASMR: Sony VAIO P - $2000 vintage pocket laptop unboxing, disassembly, SSD upgrade

Finally, I managed to get the gorgeous pocket Sony Vaio P series I dreamed about back in 2009!) 00:00 - unboxing and overview 11:06 - disassembly 21:40 - SSD upgrade Found one in mint condition, boxed with all accessories, specs: Intel Atom Z540 1,86GHz, 8” (1600*768 - higher than all laptops back then), Intel Media Accelerator 500, 2GB RAM, 80GB mechanical HDD (1,8” ZIF), Windows 7 Home Premium (updated to Win10 by the previous owner). Swapping ZIF HDD with 256gb SSD using mSATA mini PCI Express SSD card to a ZIF 40 port adapter. Behind the scenes, hdd was cloned to SSD (including recovery partition) using mSATA to USB adapter. Pay attention to the fact that such Chinese mSATA to ZIF adapters can differ even if they look alike. As far as I am aware: • some adapters may have ZIF contacts located on the opposite side of the connector (so that the cable should be inserted other way round), • some may have too thick ZIF connector (so that some nonconductive tape should be applied to the backside of the cable to ensure the proper fit), • some might have both of these features. In my case, everything worked well first try, yet it is recommended to boot up the system and ensure that SSD is detected before putting all the screws back. Some of the features were not working properly with Win10 (i.e. TrackPoint buttons), so using the recovery partition I restored Win7. With SSD it runs quite well for a decade-old underpowered prestige-segment gadget. Anyway, nowadays this is mainly a vintage toy of esthetic value rather than any useful device…
