    I am planning to buy a Sony laptop and decided to go with Sony Vaio VGN-FW140E/H (you can see its specs here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001A1O9FK?smid=A3LJ5WMKNRFKQS&tag=cnet-pc-20&linkCode=asn )

    But I also saw recently this model Sony VAIO VGN-FW190EDH (you can see its specs here: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-vgn-fw190edh/4505-3121_7-33171527.html )
    and also here: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665406955

    So which is better one to go for?

    Thanks.

    the only difference is that the FW190EDH has one more GB of ram and 70GB more hard drive space.

    I don't think that's worth the 200$ extra

    Yes you are right.. Everything is fine in VGN-FW140E/H except a good video card i feel :( Anyway for now this configuration is enough for me but in future if I want to add on a good video card, is it possible in laptops? Sorry I don't have much idea about laptops. If so, will the Sony service people do it ?

    oh i see.. Suppose mobo in the laptop fails, then is it possible to replace the mobo? And if so, I can buy a mobo having a dedicated graphics card right?
