    Hello everyone,

    This is my first post in this forum, which I am glad I found. I have 2 questions and hoping you will be able to help me.

    1)I just ordered a new Sony FS550. This is my first laptop since I've been using desktop forever. I don't know what neccessary accessories I need to consider buying ( I mean ONLY very very important accessories) because I am kind of limit in my budget right now [ :)]
    Here's the list that I thought of:
    -Battery (standard or extended)
    -Port replicator
    -Backpack/carrying case
    -Sleeve
    -Cordless mouse
    -Screen protector
    -Other things
    Which of these things are most important and I should buy? Thanks

    2) Another thing is that I currently having a desktop that hard-wired to a wireless router (to play my Xbox). Now I am selling my desktop, will I be able to use the wireless router by itself to connect WIRELESSLY to both my Xbox and FS550?

    Thank you in advance.

    I am also looking for a sleeve that will fit a Sony FS550. Having a hard time finding one that fit the 15.4 in size. The Sumdex had one but it was off by about an inch and I am not sure if it is flexiable at all. Any help on other sleeves would be great.
    Thanks,
    Flyboy

    www.spireusa.com has good sleeves, along with Booq. The Sumdex are flexible, but an inch might be a bit much.
