    I have a model similar to yours. I love it.

    Cool things? Umm...it doesn't get hot?

    Bad things? A bit heavy. 6lbs or something like that I believe.

    Yeah. Only reason I got an Fe was because it was on sale and I didn't have to pay taxes...else I woulda waited and gotten an FZ...=(

    as i told u it was a japanese model. it came with vista home basic(japanese language) so i formatted the HDD n installed winxp pro bt im having a few problems the F5,F6,(brightness keys) not workin. and i cant see the 5ghz lan option in the wireless switch utility.

    n can i upgrade to 7200 rpm HDD
    thanx :)







    intel core2Duo 2.0 Ghz, 4mb cache, 667Mhz systembus
    2GB ram 667Mhz
    60GB sata 5400RPM (will upgrade to 120GB )

    If you don't mind me asking, how much are you paying for your FE?

    If anything over 1000, your better off buying a FZ as the FZ w/ 1.8ghz Duo Core2 and 2gigs of RAM w/ 200gig HDD has dropped it's price to 999.99. FZ is lighter then FE and correct me if I'm wrong but FZ uses a different material for the casing instead of plastic which FE uses.

    nah.. i payed $830 (with TAX) at bestbuy... and looks fine. The thing is that i live in Mexico and i ordered it so i can arrive at my uncles house(i think it arrived a week ago). And im just waitng for my mom to go over there(for her work) and she´ll be back with my baby :D .

    Anyway.. im thinking in upgrading the processor and RAM, so i think its a OK.
    i see ur kinda interested in the FZ huh? :p

    and well yea the Fz is somehow better than Fe.
