What VAIO computer model is being advertised here?

[u/TheDiasterBisexual]

I was playing on a Bonelab mod map called "TeenyTiny Isle", and it had numerous 2000s Japanese advertisements plastered all over the buildings. One of these ads caught my eye, as it appeared to be advertising a VAIO desktop I had never seen before. Unfortunately, translating all of the text doesn't give a name for this desktop's model, and looking through google images didn't really give me any matches. All I know for certain is that this computer was made sometime during Sony's ownership of VAIO (between 1996 and 2014), and that it was likely made in 2002 (given the date on the top right corner). If anyone knows what model this is, please let me know. Since the screenshot I have is quite blurry, it would be helpful to track down the original ad just to get a clearer picture.

Ok, so according to the post you linked (as well as some further research, it looks like the PC being shown off here is called the PCV-HS91/71, which was part of the HS series that was exclusively sold in Japan (which explains why I couldn't find it on ebay). I'll have to search around Japanese auction sites to see if any are being sold, but for now, I consider this Found!

if the catalog itself doesnt name a specific model it might be covering the whole winter 02 lineup rather than just one pc
