    Hi there. I am considering buying the Sony Vaio FW-140D and i had a few questions.
    1. I am not a hard core movie watcher/gamer so will i really be missing out by not getting a Hi-color screen.

    2. I am going to university this september and i was wondering do you think the size of the laptop will be to big for class?

    3. I take relativly good care of all my things. Do you think the warenty is worth buying especially since its a new computer and im going to school?

    4.Is the only reason it says it is a core 2 duo processor not centrino 2 is because it is missing the new wireless card from intel?
    Thanks

    1. I love my XBrite Eco screen. It's very crisp and bright enough to do anything. I'm glad I got this one.

    2. Chances are it will be too big to take to class because it's very wide because of the 16x9 screen

    3. Since you'll be moving it around a lot, it might be a good idea to get extended warranty.

    4. From what I see, yes. The Atheros card works really well though.
