I got a Sony Vaio VPCCW17FX for Xmas, which is a great laptop! But I already have a 14.1, HP DV4, with similar specs. I wanted something different, more portable but not giving up performance for portability either. So I returned it, and now have the UL50VT-A1 shipped from Amazon, I should receive it tomorrow!
Couple questions, been reading reviews and I'm worried about the screen resolution and the keyboard, are they really that bad?!
here is what I use my laptop mostly for:
1) What is your budget? $600-$900
2) What size notebook would you prefer?
c. Thin and Light; 13" - 14" screen
d. Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen

a. Like:HP, Sony, Asus

7) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places, leaving it on your desk or both? Both, I am a student so I would like to have good battery life so I don't need to plug it in at school
8) Will you be playing games on your notebook? If so, please state which games or types of games? No,
9) How many hours of battery life do you need? 3+!!
10) Would you prefer to see the notebooks you're considering before purchasing it or buying a notebook on-line without seeing it is OK? Perfer seeing it in the store, although since Comp USA and Circuit City have closed down their doesn't seem to be much options? Unless you know of one.

15) When are you buying this laptop and how long do you want this laptop to last? While I finish college.
