Description

Extremely rare Japanese-market Sony VAIO PCV-MX1 multimedia desktop computer.

This is not an ordinary vintage PC. The PCV-MX1 combines a Pentium III-era computer with an integrated MiniDisc deck, slot-loading DVD/CD drive, FM tuner, front information display and built-in audio amplifier.

Machines like this are already difficult to find internationally and are exceptionally rare in the UAE. Importing another example would be expensive due to its size and weight, with a significant risk of damage during international shipping. This is a rare opportunity for a UAE-based Sony VAIO, MiniDisc or vintage-computing collector.

Condition

The computer has only been tested for power and powers on successfully.

No other functions have been tested, including:

MiniDisc deck
DVD/CD drive
Floppy drive
FM tuner
Front display
Audio amplifier
Speaker outputs
Audio and video connections
Expansion cards
USB, i.LINK and other ports

The computer is therefore being sold strictly as is and untested, with no guarantees regarding any functionality beyond powering on.

No returns will be accepted.
