    Yep. I'm looking for a new Sony FS series notebook. While I'm actively searching for a good deal online, I thought it wouldnt hurt it if I put in a request for information from people in a Sony Notebook forum. If you guys dont mind, please point me to a good deal online.

    I'm looking for a Sony FS series notebook:
    1) At least 1.6ghz Pentium M
    2) At least 40gb HD
    3) Integrated graphics are fine.
    4) DVD burner is a must
    5) Wireless and card readers are pretty much a given these days

    If anybody can find an FS with these specs for a good price, I would most certainly appreciate it. :centrino:

    EDIT: So far, I found this. Can anybody do any better?

    neoufo51, the laptop you linked to does not have a dedicated graphics card. It has an integrated one, but it's probably the best integrated one on the market. If you want a dedicated Nvidia 6200 with the FS series, you're looking at $1700+.

    Hmmm...I was just noticing that. My gf linked me to it. In that case, I will change my mind and just go for the integrated option.

    BestBuy sometimes adds 200 dollars in their own rebates, so you could wait for the right time and buy then. Besides if you have a BestBuy RewardZone card, you get $5 for every $125 spent, so that also somewhat sweetens the deal.
