this is the laptop i am planning to get.. what do you guys think. It's a Vaio with the Centrino 2 Platform, model VGN-FW139E/H

it's on sale for $999. sounds like a great price.

keep in mind that i only need this for working/ playing games occasionaly

i have a kick ass desktop for the rest ;)

With that kind of price i'd rather get ACER Aspire 6920G,

16 inch screen with full HD resolution 1920 x 1080pand got Blu-ray player.

believe me, this ACER is one beautiful notebook, it looks alot like the new Sony Vaio, with tube like back.

yes. it's a nice computer.. However, look at the weight! I was aiming at about 5-6 lbs at the start, this is 7.4! I would agree that the blu-ray and 9500 is an added bonus, but I don't want to be carrying a brick ;) lol

That one isn't half bad if you want a good mobile media PC, with some significant CPU power. Don't expect much game performance on the 3470 though. For gaming, you want at least an 8600M GT or a Mobility Radeon HD 3650.
