Hi there, Last December I bought a Sony vaio sr580 series notebook, I customized the heck out of it. I put a 2.8ghz duo core cpu, 8 gb ram, and it has a 512 mb ATI radian HD 4570 stand-alone vid card. 500 gb hard drive, some other stuff like Bluetooth, and wireless bgn etc. I paid like 1500 bucks. I am sure you can do better on the specs now, at the time they had a duo core 2.96 and 3.02 cpus, I just didn't have the cash to upgrade.
But my system is killer. The laptop is amazingly made, and it weighs 4 lb, because I went with the 13 inch lcd model. I have always bought Sony and gotten nothing but great laptops from them. Take care.

Thanks to my carelessness in not unplugging the computer during an electrical storm, I'm currently shopping for a new high end laptop. I will be using this computer primarily for word processing, spreadsheets, internet and e-mail, and I plan to install W-E 7.1, W-7 and Office 2010. Since I have been out of the computer market for over 5 years, I have more than a few questions. I am looking for opinions and recommendations regarding a 32 bit VS a 64 bit system, as well as optimal system specifications for this type of computer. I would also appreciate hearing about any recent experiences, good or bad, that people have had with specific laptop dealers or manufacturers. Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions that might help me to make some of the right choices. Paul Franklin If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
