    Hi all, I'm interested in buying the: VGNFS830W, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how loud the fan was, I read the FS680 review or whatever but it had a more intense video card.....the nvidia 6200....and said the fan was pretty quiet and only made an "air flow" sound.

    Anyone have an FS model with an "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 128MB Dynamically Shared" who can tell me how it sounds? I would really love that!!! Also, is the battery life for this model really 1.5-2hours...

    Should I buy the above model or

    (I don't mind the french OS or keyboard)
    The only noticable difference is the RAM clock.....should I get the cheaper comp with the ****ter 3200 RAM and then upgrade it to a gig of 4200 since I'm saving $100.00

    anything else to know about this model?
    suggestions are welcome
