    Carry Bag and Mouse with 2 year warranty eh, must be a foreign model of the A6j :p

    vladgrig,

    I noticed your sig and if it helps, Asus has much better support than Sony (and of course you know Asus probably built a ton of Vaios). If you could wait for a W3J, that would be the way to go IMHO.

    b-dots: good machine. Do a review on this machine when you have time. We need more duo core notebook reviews :)

    OT: w3j with x1600 256mb, I can't imagine how hot this machine will get when playing Battlefield 2 or Fear

    OT: I regularly play BF2 on A6Ja with same graphic card and even though it does get a bit hot it's not unbearable, I can still hold it in my lap :).
