Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz)
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
2 GB DDR-SDRAM (DDR2-667, 1 GBx2)
200GB SATA Hard Disk Drive (5400 rpm)

i got my sony vaio vgn c290 for $1600 without tax at a sony retailer.
didn't have any feedbacks or reviews and didn't know much about notebooks. the price i paid may be high but it is a working/portable notebook that has its looks too.

the specs for that i can remember are:
13.3"
vista business
centrino duo
160 sata
(says its white but looks silver to me)

I have this notebook in similar specs...but it's 13.3"

imo, 15.4 is too big, get the SZ series if you can...they are a bit more expensive though...

thanks, i used to have a 12 inch ultra portable laptop, and the screen was way too small for me...i do lots of multimedia surfing/editing, so i have to go with a 15 or 17 inch screen! and im really looking forward to a sony vaio, so im not really going to consider other multimedia laptops

Spool · 11-25-2007, 12:04 PM

12 is too small, 13.3 is good for me, 14.1 i'd settle for...i'm not going back to 15.4 or above...too bulky and negates the purpose of a lap top...supposed to be small and portable...

xxballinboi786 · 11-25-2007, 03:28 PM

the fz, even with a 15.4" screen, weighs only 6 pounds!!
