   |  on-line... with Vista Home, slightly too flashy for this old-skool dude. i was told it will be hard to downgrade to XP due to Sony drivers for this laptop. also learned.. no more rescue disks, you make your own.. which will be my next task :} have not yet synced the Q... that's for later. (with new laptop and WM6.1.. hard to pick what to "play" with :}

| The notebook of course. You have to remove all the crapware and head to filehippo and get all the "cool" apps like AVG8 and ZoneAlarm and FoxIt Reader and... Looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of the new VAIO plastic look but that's better than some I've seen. USB ports on both sides are cool but why the heck are computers STILL coming with modems?!

and this is one of the latest Vaio with a hard plastic "strong" housing, the other Sony's i saw, when you pressed the backside of the screen you would see it on the front of the screen.. not with this one. modem could come handy..... in very rare cases. *back to play*

| I found, for myself, that buying used off ebay is best for me. My present laptop is a Toshiba Satellite, 2GHz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, 15" widescreen, DVD-RW, WiFi, fingerprint reader, SD card reader, etc etc - yanked off ebay for $350. Very minimal wear and tear. Battery life is only about 1.5-2 hours, but I found an extended 5-6 hour battery for it - also ebay, $30. It came with blank harddrive, no OS, but I had an OEM XP license from a decommissioned old PC. All the reviews I could find said that installing a resource hog like Vista on a midrange laptop is lunacy. |
