    Hello,

    My girlfriend wants me to pick a laptop for her for school next year and I think I've decided on the Vaio CW series, but I'm a little confused about what I've heard.

    I understand that the CW's on Bestbuy.com have a higher resolution screen and the 330 graphics card, making it much better than the CW on the sonystyle website. Will Sony be updating their CW series soon to match Bestbuy's?

    Also, is there any way to upgrade the hard drive of bestbuy's CWs to 7200 RPM? I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible, but I know she needs at least 4g of RAM, an i5 processor (not i3), the 330 card, 1600x900 resolution and no blueray. Any suggestions?

    If we're forced to stick with 5400 RPM, that's OK

    Thanks! :) :)

    just buy a 7200rpm and replace it.

    9724013/9723879/9723951

    the blue one seems to be the only one in stock right now.

    they are still cheaper than neweggs price
