Overview

PCV-M300 with Trinitron CRT Monitor and speakers

The Sony VAIO PCV-M was a Japan only PC component system released by Sony in 1998. It was intended to be a sort of "multimedia" PC, because some models had an inbuilt TV tuner, a DVD player (in later models) and a MiniDisc control option that was supposed to be used with the MDS-PC1 MiniDisc deck.

Daily usage today

They can be found every once in a while on Yahoo! Auctions Japan or Mercari Japan. You will need a Japanese proxy service such as Buyee for this though.
