I am gonna be buying a laptop really soon, I have set my budget at no more than about 1300 US or 1900 CND.
I will be buying in Canada,This is what I am considering to buy,
http://www.sonystyle.ca/webapp/comm...um=2009&mainCatNum=2160&parent=VAIO_NOTEBOOKS
The reason are it has a 15 inch screen which I want, combo /dvd 256 DDR ,30 gig drive and an XP1800 cpu with Nvidia® GeForce4 420 Go graphics chip with 32 MB DDR SDRAM and 3D hardware acceleration.
I am gonna use this laptop for work, I work for an insurance company and I will be using it to present our products. I know I could use alot less but this will also be second machine around home to back up our digital pictures and it will be used alot by my wife to surf and do whatever. I want the laptop to be able to play games that are fairly new like UT or RTCW as example.
Now after reading abit more I am seeing ATI AGP 4X 64 DDR shared video and I am wondering if that is better than what this VAIO comes with.
The other reason for the Sony is my bud is National Account Manager for Canada, since this laptop is discoed I may be able to get it for a good deal, less than the 1290 US or 1900 CND I have found it for.
I would prefer a 64 dedicated vid card and 512 mem but mem can be added later, but I know I want at least a P4 1.7 or XP1800 or higher. A celery 1.8 will pass as well and I need 30 gigs min with 15" screen.
Any other final suggestions cause I am gonna have to choose soon.
