Someone should have tought you how to spell

You forgot a period at the end of your sentence.

my condolences.

Nice I hope that it works out well for you.

Congrats

i have the same specs on my lappy here...and mine was $950 after rebates and .5 pounds lighter

sucks to pay for a name

vaio's are nice looking though

Huge difference

Cool :thumbsup

True, I hate paying for a fucking name or full price as well. And fucking rebates fucking sux. They should give give you the damn discount there on the spot. I always forget to send for the shit.

i do admit this though, out of all the semi-overpriced brands, sony is the best to go with

And they tend to look better too. Most of my TV componetents are sony.

do take care of your baby ! :thumbsup

tought is actually spelled "taught".

ghetto shit son

go back on aol

No offense, but my Viao laptop is almost two years old and better equipped.

I was making fun of his spelling of baught.

baught = bought

and

tought = taught

get it?

can't believe no one else caught that.

The only problem is that this machine will uose only Sony RAM (Kingstone are great)! Centrino is the best mobile cpu! The price is low, so make money with it! :thumbsup

I'll bet it cost more, though...

I love vaios, but they are expensive

you over paid by about $700. :2 cents:

Vaio's totally rock. I'm on my third 505 and have a VX89 that I used before this one stuck around here somewhere. Even after it took a beer to the keyboard it still worked perfectly if you hooked up a keyboard to it lol ;)

I'm not the biggest Computer enthusiast, I mean whatever gets me online is fine. So I may be wrong, but isn't 1.5 GHZ slow by todays standard? I figured all desktops/laptops come standard 2.4+ nowadays, especially when you spend nearly $2k?

Anyway, congrats KMR on the purchase. :thumbsup

oh gawd.. I just bought a 2.6ghz Toshiba laptop for 800 bux!! haha

I had a VAIO a few years ago. Got a bunch of dead pixels within like a week of me buying it so I took it back.

Love that 14 day no questions asked return policy.

nice choice :thumbsup

I bought a toshiba (two laptops ago) like 2 years ago it was a 2.0 Gig P4 and I paid barely a little more than that and it was a 16.5" screen and just basically way better equiped. . WTF were you thinking?

seems like you guys don't know the new intel CENTRINO
everyone just sees 1.5Ghz .. but hey it's almost equal to P4 2.5Ghz. I got one this month and all I can say Centrino rox ! It can run about 4.5-5 hours on batteries when you're working on it. (not 100% usage of course). So I think it's veeery great baby !

however $1.999 is still a bit pricey
I bought my for 1200 Euros with same parameters .. well just HD is smaller .. maybe that's the cause

$2k, 3 cents more.

Still slow. They use less power they are not equiv to a 2.5 thats BS.

almost equal
yeah they use a lot less power and the performance is awesome. Hell do you need your laptop to be a superfast shit or you want it to keep running longer ... i think this is why you buy laptop. Cause you want it to be able to run for some time on batteries.

I'll be picking up a Sony S-170 asap.

Battery draining back breaking powerhouse laptops are stupid... Sony compacts rock :thumbsup

Congrats:glugglug

Nice! I have the same lap and it works fine 4 me!!!

nice price

My XDA can do all that :1orglaugh

nice but I hate laptops

How many people do you think seriously read that features list?

Enjoy your purchase.
