As part of the Sony giveaway, I would like to contribute with this VAIO teardown. Bear with me as this is my first tutorial. This is a VGN-T140P 12” wide screen laptop with an Intel Pentium M 1.10G processor, 1G RAM and a 40G hard drive. It’s an oldie that still does the job. Well let’s get to the teardown.
