    Looking at this computer:

    Link to Sony Page

    A couple of things I noticed:
    No integrated Bluetooth
    Hard drive only max 4200 RPM

    Otherwise, it looks like a pretty nice machine. I'm considering this vs. the Compaq Presario V2000. Any thoughts?

    the other knock against it is Sony doesn't go with modular drives, so whatever you configure it with (CD Burner for instance) is what you're stuck with, if you decided you wanted to upgrade to a DVD Burner you'd have to buy a whole new machine or get an external drive.
