08.28.07Tips on how to retrofit your old laptop to make it seem new again.I am still rocking a Sony Vaio PCG-R505GL laptop that I picked up refurbished back in May of 2003. At the time this thing was awesome, it was one of the smallest affordable laptops of its time with a removeable docking station.
