    Hello to all friends , I was googling information regarding a sony laptop I am interested in buying.

    I currently own a vaio vgn-fs640 which is working damn good and now I plan to buy another vaio laptop.

    I have selected two sony models but I am unable to decide which one to buy.
    The first model is vaio SR
    ( http://www.sony.co.in/product/vgn-sr56gg)

    And the second model is vaio CS
    ( http://www.sony.co.in/product/vgn-cs36gj/sku/vgn-cs36gj_qe1)

    These links are to sony India website I am from India :)

    I would be getting the SR model for approx 1576 USD and the CS model for around 1197 USD.
    My usage is surfing ,practicing redhat , a few light games and normal computing.
    All I need is a large battery backup.

    Here is a list of my concerns.

    1)I just wanted to know is there a difference in battery of VAIO SR and VAIO CS.

    2)Does Vaio SR has a intel integrated graphic card , I ask so since they provide a driver for it.
    FileName: GraphicsDriverIntel.EXE
    FileSize: 20.7 MB (21,798,912 bytes)
    (This is the link: http://www.sony.co.in/support/download/354385/product/vgn-sr56gg)

    3)Does vaio SR and Vaio CS support booting from usb drives.

    I would appreciate comments and suggestions from you guys in helping me buy my new vaio.Which i`ll be buying in day or two.

    Thanks a lot to everyone in advance for your help and precious time.
    Vaio \m/

    Go for SR, its much more classy. however 1576 is high. you will get very good deals during BF , so go for it now. last year, i bought an equivalent of 1500 for about 750! (went further down to 633 after all the discounts and cash backs)
