I'm really interested in the new Y series that was just released, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't feature the new i3/i5 processors. Is there a big difference between the CW's i3 processor and the Y's Duo SU7300 processor? All of the remaining specs are mostly the same being that each has 4GB RAM, 320 HDD, Windows 7 HP, etc. etc.

Dell's website I found two different 9 Cell Batteries for my XPS M1530.
One is manufacturer part number GP975 and the other is manufacturer part number RN897. They are both the same price, both 9 cell batteries, and both compatible with the XPS M1530.
Which one should I choose? Is one better than the other?
If I don't hear anythign I will call Dell and ask them what the difference between the two are.
I happened to get my first Macbook Pro before getting serious about photography so it kinda just worked out for me, but I hear friends and other people saying "If you're serious about Photography, get a MAC!"
I mean looking at specs and prices couldn't someone getting into Photography get a pretty darn good PC for the price of the Macbook Pros?
I was like a lot of people on here, who were considering their options and wanted to buy a Studio XPS 16" laptop. I read about all the horror stories and delays people have been having on here, and just gave in anyways and thought "I hope it won't happen to be".... well it did.
Timeline of events:
1/17/2010: Date of my order
I ordered my studio xps 16" laptop on this day because the "day of deals" had the i7 dual core (i7-620M), on sale in a one day only deal that I could not pass up.
I got:
i7-620M (2.66 - 3.33ghz)
6GB DDR3 RAM
256GB SSD
1080p RGBLED
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 3016sl laptop but I can't enter BIOS or choose the device to boot. I tried F1, F2, F9, F10 and F11. None of them work.

At 55% of reformatting I keep getting an error, the error reads, "Error Ox001100200001005". It will not go farther, when I click OK, the computer simply reboots and the cycle starts all over again.

Which series is better? The B series is for business. This series is only 5.9lbs with 15.4'. On the other hand, the CW series is around 5.5 lbs and it is only 14'. What do you think? Have you ever try B series? 15.4' is pretty good for movie.
I really enjoy the big screen, large HD and fast CPU. And what appears to be a Sony exclusive, a R/W Blu-Ray drive. I watched eagerly at the AW series, thinking that I might pull the trigger on the 'next' laptop in this series.
But as you know, it never came...
So I took a look at the F series at some of the local computer shops (e.g. Fry's and Micro Center)
I have seen the post

i see no mentions at all for the NS series here.
Buddy of mine wants to get it for the 800 bucks they are selling it for on Sonystyle, is it a bad Laptop?
What does that look like to you? We're thinking an updated Vaio P given that stretched form factor. The previously unheard of Vaio model PCG-11111L is definitely a Sony of some sort complete with CDMA850 and CDMA1900 courtesy of Qualcomm's Gobi silicon .....

sony has the best computers for my needs. But from there I am lost. My mother has the fw and loves it, so I know the build quality is great .....
I was looking at this series all the way back in October when Windows 7 was going to launch. What happens?
They keep Vista on it and the gradually phase it out. The few OS 7 models they had they phased out.
Why did Sony discontinue this Series? I've seen no rumors or anything on an update.
Was it not selling well? Techical problems? Why just drop the line for so long?
Recently I bought the NW series Vaio, the VGN-NW265F to be exact. I hooked up the laptop to my TV via HDMI cable in order to watch
a blu-ray movie and I can notice right away that the quality of the image is what is in question here. I know that PS3 and the blu ray movies playing in

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ27G notebook to be exact and been having a few issues of late, and wondering if there are some clever computer buffs out there to help me solve my dilema.
Firstly I run Vista on 32bit with service pack 1 and just as a side note formated not that long ago.
The main problem is instaling software. Here's when it gets a bit tempremental. Basically it doesn't want to do it, instal software that is. And before you all say "yeah that's an easy one, just run it as Administrator!!" no been there done that and yes it is set as me being administrator etc.
My question, is there a simple oversite or a setting in computer management or even firmware or drivers that need to be definately looked at? I mean it wont even load software at times from the DVD drive let alone from the hard drive!(It wasn't like that before, I know it can do it)
Ive recently recieved my new Z Series with TPM included, until recently I just thought this came hand in hand for the biometric finger print reader.
I now believe that it can be used/or its purpose if for much more than this.
I'm seriously considering the NW series and I've read a lot of the good comments/reviews.
1) What is the method behind the model numbers? It seems every site I visit has NW100's, 200's, and 300's. Is there an easy way to translate that into the specs? Is the 300 sub-series any newer or "better" than the 100 and 200 sub-series? Glancing at the specs it seems very arbitrary and I want to make sure I'm not missing something.
2) Is now a good time to buy the NW series? From my research it appears the NW series was revealed early last summer. Do we expect any kind of facelift or "second gen" to come out soon? Any anticipated sales? I'm in no hurry to buy.
3) Is the BD combo worth it if you don't watch movies? I was just wondering if it might be good for laptop resale value in the future, or if software is going to start being sold on BD instead of DVD.
4) Which of the available processors for the NW series is the "best?" Is it worth the money?
5) Is there anything else I should consider before buying an NW? In summary, I'll be using this for internet/itunes/docs and I'm eying the pre-packaged configs in the $650-750 range.
I can't seem to find any reviewsopinions on them...

I'm looking at purchasing a Sony Vaio soon, but I'm having trouble deciding between these two models.

Blu-Ray player..............
first I would plug in my ac adapter and it wouldn't boot. next the battery charge light flashed like crazy then it decided to boot took forever for it to detect my usb flash drive to boot from it and install windows installed teh intel HD drivers. then my screen would go from bright and stay at 30-40 percent and nothing could change it now my battery tells me it cant be detected and to go into hibernation. and nothing I can do can get past this POS popup what a piece of this has turned into
