Overview

The Sony VAIO PCG-GT was a line of ultraportable subnotebooks with a built-in digital camera sold by Sony exclusively in Japan from November 2000 to mid-late 2001.

The original model, PCG-GT1 released on November 18, 2000. A higher-end model featuring darker colors and larger hard drive, PCG-GT3/K was released on June 30, 2001.

Both models featured a large camera on the side, intended to be primarily used for taking pictures that could later be shared on an image sharing service ImageStation, and for live streaming to PercasTV service, one of the first live video streaming services.
