    I have ordered a Sony FZ290 which should be here next week. I'm upgrading from a HP Pavilion ZT3250 which is a 1.5Ghz Centrino. I have been reading here for several weeks and it was down to the Sony FZ, Dell XPS 1530 or another HP. I went with the Sony. I'm hope that I'm happy with it. The only thing that I might regret is the Blueray burner. Money isn't the issue but 6 hours to burn 44GB of data is very long. Here's the order. The HP is still running strong. I did upgrade the HD to 120GB 5400 rpm a while back. Hope this new one is a little faster.
