Depending on your area, I just bought a Sony VAIO FW Series laptop from CompUSA for $600. I normally just use it to watch 720p mkv files, web browsing, basic word processing and occasional use of Flash and Photoshop. Had it for 2 weeks now and it runs great. I know a lot of people have had bad experiences with Sony's, but this is my third (over the span of 6+ years) and other than getting outdated, they are built very well.Originally Posted by kingofny04

That's coming out soon isn't it?
took me about 8 hours since it was my first time and ran into problems with some drivers.
Plus I had set up my SSD incorrectly, so I had to go back today and reinstall Windows 7
