Nice specs you got there~ biggrin.gif I have 1gig ram on my laptop and its laggish. T_T Well, that thing has 2 gig~ tongue.gif

And you probably want to change your mind about the screen size because if you're going to bring that thing anywhere often, you'd probably suffer. ._. I mean, weight wise. I got a 14 inch (not a vaio though) and I'm still complaining how heavy my laptop is. lols.
