Summary
The Sony VAIO VGN-BX294VP is a Business-Class notebook computer released by Sony in 2005. Larger versions of this laptop are also available.
It includes a 14.1 XGA display with a 1024x768 resolution.
It came in a silver color. Only the 14" version of the VGN-BX has a magnesium alloy case. The 15.4" models have a plastic build.
The Pentium M 740 with Intel GMA 900 graphics was included with this laptop along with Windows XP. It also includes DDR2 SDRAM which is user-replaceable.
Due to the fact that this laptop was made for businesses, its selling points were as follows : a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Biometric Fingerprint Sensor, HDD Password Protection, an optional Built-in Camera, a modular bay, and Gigabit Ethernet.

Daily Usage Today
This laptop is still useable today, but to some extent... It is only useful for office uses and can be used as a Media PC. The Pentium M is not known for performance, and it is recommended that one replaces the HDD with a SSD. Retro games are playable on this device, but keep in mind that barely anything past the 2000's is playable (at a reasonable framerate).
