The Sony _Vaio_ Z__—a Windows "Ultrabook" that was the main writing and coding machine for the _Learning Python, 5th Edition_ project. It ran Windows 7 and dual-boot Linux and was a stellar PC, though it required a repair after the 1600-page _LP5E_ project blew out its keyboard. Sony dropped their PC business shortly after this (in response to the Windows 8 _fiasco_, perhaps?), but the Vaio brand is back in business at this writing; see the web for info.
