Question:
Just bought a FS830W for $1200cdn
Awesome deal. Remember my ASUS Z83V is about to go for repair so i got this to use in the meantime and trying it out. Seeing if i like it better and would sell the ASUS. But definitely 15.4>17'' I really appreciate how much lighter and smaller a laptop is to carry around.
Besides if i do decide to keep this, ill put in the 1gb ram from the asus into here and swap the 4200 and 5400rpm HDs.

What you mean not worth it lol, considering i have all the uprgades already to put in.
In box: P-M 1.73, 533, 2MB
80GB 4200rpm HD
512DDR2
DVDRW dual layer
Intel 915 video (good enough for me, since i dont play games)
My upgrades that I have:
5400rpm HD
1GB ram, so it will make it 1.5gb ram total.

Not a good buy in my opinion. But its alright if you wont be doing much except Word, email and internet - great for that.
Its not the "3D" Windows just has the Aero theme which needs a dedicated GPU.
Its cool if your happy with it though, thats what counts :D

Your Asus owns the Sony, while the Sony owns the Asus in looks. For you to choose. I would have suggested getting FE and selling the Asus. Then you would be all set.

FE is too much, I would much rather just get the MBP for that kind of money. It would have been $800 more than what I paid for my Vaio today. There is no urgent need for duo core right now for me. After blowing all that money on the ASUS a month ago, my budget isnt nearly as high (hence why I got this VAIO today) cause it was on sale and great price.
If I didnt get the ASUS at all, I most likely would be more tempted to getting the FE. But right now, Im just wanting something by what I need.
I wouldnt say my ASUS "owns" the sony, if so it would be from the performance of the X700. But I dont play games on my laptop anyways - dont even know why I got the X700. Sony doesnt own the ASUS for looks, the z83v is quite stunning too. Its close though, they both look delicious.
But one aspect that the Sony owns the ASUS is the LCD. The VAIO tends to look cheaper with the white look n all, but still built pretty well. Though id still give the edge to ASUS in build quality. Time will tell some more...
