Sweet laptop Sony's rock if I had to nit pick for $150 more I'd tell you to get the SONY VAIO AR Series VGN-AR720E/B Blu Ray 320GB Hard Drive 2x160GB and 3 Gig's of memory only catch is it's just a Blu ray reader Joys of selling these things

I'm hoping Acer gets on the Blu-ray wagon so I can pop one in my 5100 series before it gets too old since HD-rom is dead.
While not stock:
200GB Hard drive
AMD Dual Core 1.7GHz
4 Gigs of 800Mhz memory
15.4 LCD
extended run battery
Web Cam
DVD recorder
XP Pro & Vista Home Premium Dual Boot.
Probably $850 not including the operating systems it came with XP media ED
not the best video card though ATI 1300 128MB

curious as to why you have 4gb of ram... either os a 64bit os? otherwise kind of a waste there since 32 only uses 3gb. although wqhen i tried vista ultimate 64 my 4gbs seemed to have issues

Im in need of a cheap used labtop that will work with a stand-a-lone

So I'd check on a Bios upgrade if your on 64bit. Only 3 Gig's in XP mode but I'm mostly in Vista. I build custom computers and only use Vista 64 bit due to these issues even though for every Vista Home Premium I build I make 4 XP machines. . Also DDR2 laptop memory is cheap so might as well fill it up since most Laptops only have 2 slots.
